At Boesen the Florist, we know the best flowers to say happy birthday are always your recipient's favorite flowers, whatever they may be. If you're not sure which varieties are their favorite, you can't go wrong with our top picks for birthday flowers at any time of the year.

We encourage sending roses, carnations, lilies, gerbera daisies, or sunflowers. These flowers are eye-catching, classic, plentiful, and long-lasting, which is everything you want in the perfect birthday gift. 

The Language of Flowers tells us everything we need to know about gifting the right color flower for your special someone's birthday. Red flowers symbolize love and romance; yellow flowers symbolize friendship; white flowers symbolize purity – and there is so much else you can say! One fun way to celebrate is to send them flowers the same color as their birthstone. 

Yes! Flowers are appropriate for nearly any occasion, and work especially well as birthday gifts. Prompting your senses of sight, smell, and touch, a bouquet is a personal, sustainable, and long-lasting gift that can be enjoyed without cluttering up the home. Choose to customize your birthday bouquet or opt for a designer-original design to make sure your recipient gets something truly unique! Don't forget to add on a bunch of balloons or a box of chocolates at checkout, too.
