Peonies - commonly associated with romance, prosperity, and bashfulness.
Some people even believe they are a good luck charm of sorts, bringing good fortune to whoever receives them.
Peonies have "roots" in Greek mythology - Apollo used to turn beautiful nymphs into peonies if Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, knows he was flaring with them.
Ranunculus - these colorful, swirly flowers are also called buttercups as they symbolize charm, attraction, and radiance.
Pink Asters- these flowers have a star shaped flower head and represent love, charm, and sensitivity.
