flower giving
Offering botanical gifts
Flower giving is the practice of presenting flowers as a gift, typically to mark occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, funerals, or romantic gestures.
Different flowers carry traditional meanings—roses for love, lilies for sympathy—though the symbolism varies by culture.
Flower giving is expected on Valentine's Day.
The phrase emphasizes the act itself rather than simply the flowers: She appreciated the flower giving more than the arrangement.
