Galentine’s Blooms: Celebrating Friendship with Flowers

What is Galentine´s Day, and Why It Matters

In 2010, Parks and Recreation gave us a gift we didn’t know we needed: Galentine’s Day. In a now-iconic episode, Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) declared February 13th as a day to celebrate the real MVPs—your besties.

Cue the waffles, mimosas, and flower arrangements.

Since then, Galentine’s Day has grown from a fictional brunch to a cultural ritual. It’s a reminder that love doesn’t have to be romantic to be powerful.

In short, Valentine’s is for couples. Galentine’s is for the ride-or-dies.

Why Flowers Are the Perfect Gift for Friends

Flowers speak volumes. They brighten rooms, shift moods, and say “you matter” in a way few other gifts can.

• A bouquet can say thank you.

• It can say “I see you.”

• It can even say, “Let’s never date the same guy again.”

When you give flowers for friendship, you're not just gifting something pretty—you're sharing presence, appreciation, and joy.

Studies even show that flowers reduce stress and increase happiness. Translation? They’re friendship boosters.

Best Flowers for Celebrating Friendship

Here are the top blooms that speak the love language of sisterhood:

Daisies

• Why: They radiate joy, simplicity, and childhood nostalgia.

• Try this: A bouquet of pink and white daisies wrapped in brown paper = instant cheer.

Tulips

• Why: They represent fresh starts, connection, and care.

• Try this: A centerpiece of mixed tulips for your Galentine’s brunch.

Roses (but not the red kind)

• Why: Pink = admiration. Yellow = friendship.

• Try this: Blend both for a soft, meaningful bouquet that feels elevated.

Mixed Bouquets

• Why: Every friendship is different, so mix it up.

• Try this: Add eucalyptus, baby’s breath, or even sunflowers for a bold twist.

The beauty of friendship with flowers is that it’s personal. Choose blooms that reflect your connection.
