November Floral Astrology from Teleflora
|
Scorpio:
Oct. 24 - Nov. 22
White Roses and Lilies
Powerful and passionate, the Scorpio is the most intense sign of the zodiac.
Their tenacity and willpower are immense, their conviction strong (if not at
times overwhelming), and yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their
emotions. Indulge the sensual and passionate Scorpio with wonderfully fragrant
blossoms like stock or freesia or with majestic callas and texturally rich
tropical foliage plants. Or nurture their emotional, sensitive side with a
quietly elegant arrangement like the White Roses and Lilies bouquet. When
inspired, it’s said that Scorpios can exceed limits in almost all endeavors
(they’re known as having the greatest likelihood of becoming geniuses than
those born to any other sign) so your creative gift of flowers may not only fill
them with pleasure but launch the next great thing as well.
Sagittarius: November 23 -
December 21
Teleflora's Zen Gerbera Bowl
 The
Centaur—the combination of horse and man, and the Sagittarius
symbol—represents a combination of powerful intellect teamed with physical
strength and energy. These are strong, independent spirits, full of energy,
versatility and adventurousness. The Sagittarius loves travel and
exploration—the more so because their minds are constantly open to new
dimensions of thought. Ambitious and optimistic, these are the types of people
whose hopes are not easily dashed, and who, perhaps because of this, tend to
find much luck in life. Satisfy this restless soul’s appetite for adventure
and exotic lands with an arrangement filled with protea or anthurium. Or, send
Teleflora’s Zen
Gerbera Bowl to reflect their passion for the unexpected, juxtaposing
gregarious energy and soothing design.
