From State to State and Beyond: A Look at America’s Favorite Blooms and the Rise of International Flower Delivery

Whether it’s love, celebration, or “just because,” sending flowers is one of the oldest—and still coolest—ways to show you care. And thanks to international flower delivery, that love now travels faster and farther than ever before.

We’re all busy. Between work, family, and remembering to eat lunch, it’s a lot. So when you want to show someone you’re thinking of them—even if they’re across the country or chilling on another continent—flowers make it simple and sweet. Bonus? You don’t even have to leave your couch.

Let’s take a little floral road trip across the U.S., peek into what states are loving bloom-wise, the top moments Americans are sending them, and why online flower delivery is blowing up like wildflowers in spring.

America in Bloom – Most Popular Flowers by State

From the sun-soaked coasts of California to the cozy woodlands of the Northeast, flowers are as diverse as the people who send them. Each region’s favorites say something about the local vibe—and knowing that helps you send the perfect bouquet.

  • California: All About Roses & Lilies. Sunshine, style, and a little drama—California loves a bouquet that pops. Roses and lilies are go-tos for birthdays, date nights, and anything romantic. Mix soft pink lilies with classic red roses for a chic, all-season arrangement.
  • Texas: Bluebonnets & Bold Colors. Texas is big on tradition and big blooms. While bluebonnets hold the title of state flower, delivery orders lean heavy on roses and carnations. Add in native wildflowers to give your bouquet that authentic Lone Star flair.
  • Florida: Tropical Vibes Only. Humidity + sunshine = orchid paradise. Floridians adore exotic, long-lasting blooms like birds of paradise and anthuriums. Tropical bouquets are perfect for outdoor events—they won’t wilt in the heat.
  • New York: Classy & Colorful. In the city that never sleeps, you better believe bouquets are bold. Roses (of course) and tulips top the charts. Go for bold color blocking. Think red + purple or orange + pink—perfect for fashion-forward folks.
  • Mid-Atlantic (Hey, BreakingAC readers!): Seasonal Favorites. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania, peonies, tulips, and hydrangeas are the local darlings, especially in spring. Order around graduation or spring weddings—these blooms are seasonal stunners.

Say It With Flowers – The Most Common Occasions in the U.S.

Flowers aren’t just about “I love you” (although, yeah, that’s a classic). Americans send blooms for all sorts of reasons. Each moment has its own perfect petals.

Valentine’s Day – Love in Full Bloom

Valentine’s Day is basically the Olympics for florists—everyone’s racing to grab the best roses before they’re gone. Red and pink roses are hands-down the most wanted, and with good reason: they’re the classic symbol of romance. If you’re planning to send flowers for V-Day, don’t sleep on it. Order early to avoid the last-minute scramble and score the freshest blooms. Want to level up your gift? Add chocolates or a cute stuffed animal—instant win.

Mother’s Day – For the Queen of the House

Moms deserve all the flowers, all the time—but especially on Mother’s Day. Carnations, lilies, and spring mix bouquets are always top picks, and they never miss. But here’s the secret to making it extra special: personalize it. Maybe go with her favorite color or pick flowers she used to plant in the yard when you were a kid. It’s not just about the bouquet—it’s the little memory it brings back that makes her tear up (in a good way).

Birthdays – Bouquets That Party

Birthday flowers should scream celebration. Bright mixed bouquets are always a hit, but if you want to stand out, try matching the flowers to their birth month or even their zodiac sign (Scorpio sunflowers? Yes, please). The best bet is to go seasonal—it keeps things fresh, affordable, and gorgeous. Want extra birthday points? Add a balloon or a cheeky card that says exactly what you're thinking.

Graduations & Achievements – Cheers in Bloom

Graduations and milestones are major moments, and flowers make them even better. Sunflowers and bright daisies bring the energy, while Hawaiian-style leis are a classic, especially in places like Hawaii. If you’re gifting for a grad, go for something bold and photo-ready. These bouquets are gonna be all over social media, after all—you want them to pop in every pic.

Local Scoop – Mid-Atlantic Style

In places like Atlantic City and across the Mid-Atlantic, flower-giving keeps up with national trends, but there’s a local twist. Spring and early summer are prime time, especially with school graduations, seaside weddings, and big family milestones happening left and right. Whether it’s a soft pastel bouquet for a coastal wedding or a bold arrangement for a backyard party, local florists know exactly how to bring the magic.

Why Online Flower Delivery is the Smart Choice

Let’s be real—who has time to track down a local florist during a lunch break? Online flower delivery (including international flower delivery) is turning gifting into a breeze.

Why It Rocks:

  • Convenience: Order on your phone, even in PJs.
  • Selection: From sunflowers to South African proteas—you name it.
  • Customization: Choose the vase, toss in a card or chocolates, and pick a delivery time.
  • Reliability: Track that bouquet like it’s Uber Eats.
  • Global Reach: Yep, you can send flowers from Jersey to Japan in a few taps.

🌼 Online Flower Delivery Tips:

  • Compare platforms: Some shine in certain areas—like same-day delivery or luxury bouquets.
  • Read the reviews: A pretty photo doesn’t always equal a fresh bouquet.
    Sign up: Frequent gifter? Subscriptions = discounts and perks.

Final Bloom

In a world where we’re often far apart—by states, schedules, or time zones—flowers are still the easiest way to say “I care.” And now, with international flower delivery, your message can land in someone’s hands almost anywhere on Earth.

So whether it’s peonies in Philly or orchids in Osaka, sending flowers has never been easier—or more heartfelt. Go ahead. Make someone’s day bloom.
