October Floral Astrology from Teleflora
|
Libra: Sept. 24 - Oct. 23
Teleflora's Morning Sunrise Bouquet
Considered by many to be the most desirable of the zodiac signs, because it
represents the zenith of the year when the harvest of all the hard work of the
spring is reaped, the Libra—with its symbol of the scales—personifies
perfect balance and harmony. Romantic and charming, Libras are naturally kind
and gentle. A gift of an orchid, with its graceful profile and delicate
blossoms, reflects the Libra’s elegance and refined taste. An arrangement
designed to reflect nature’s magnificence, like Teleflora’s Morning Sunrise
Bouquet will please their sensibility for beauty in artful balance. Or, choose a
bouquet with roses to stir up their romantic side.
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.
