Garden-style flowers or a bright bold color palette are fun and whimsical options. A basket with a mix of flowering and green plants delivered to her door or office is also a sure-fire winner.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">Giving flowers to clients and employees is a sophisticated way to recognize workplace accomplishments. A mixed floral arrangement of reds, rich oranges and fuchsias inspires and energizes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">Say &#8220;I appreciate all you do&#8221; to teachers and childcare professionals with flowers in bright oranges and lime greens. Those colors together are contemporary, generate energy and excitement, and are perfect for showing thanks and appreciation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">For your wife, send her favorite flowers \u2013 the varieties at your wedding, flowers you sent her when you first started dating or the ones she buys for herself.
