Flowers have accompanied humankind since time immemorial. They're a symbol of love, apology, transience and hope. As florists, we read hundreds of messages every day that you send to your loved ones. Some make us laugh, others move us to tears. You often ask us: "What should I write on the card so it doesn't sound like a cliché?"
That's why we've put together a collection of the most beautiful thoughts from poets, writers and public figures who can speak for you. Whether you're sending roses out of love or gerberas just for joy, you'll find the right words here.
1. Quotes About Flowers and Love (For a Partner)
For when you want to declare your love, but your own words fail you. These quotes pair beautifully with red roses or romantic arrangements.
-
„Love is like a flower – if you don't take care of it, it withers.“ — Bramblerose
-
„I picked a flower and it wilted in my hand. I caught a butterfly and it died in my palms. I realized beautiful things can only be touched with the heart.“ — John Lennon
-
„Love, like a flower, a tree, or a shrub, dies from lack of nourishment.“ — Zig Ziglar
-
„A flower is the key to a woman's heart: it opens it more easily than a treble clef.“ — Petr Eben
Florist's tip: Lennon's quote is very powerful and deep. We recommend writing it on cards for reconciliation, or as a declaration of a very deep relationship.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry understood the language of flowers like no one else. His thoughts are ideal for dreamers, for a best friend, or for someone who's been through a difficult time.
„If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers…“
„When someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions of stars, that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars.“
„Flowers must never be listened to. They must only be looked at, and breathed in.“
3. On Beauty, Life and Joy
These quotes are universal. Fitting for a colleague's birthday, an aunt, or just for joy.
„Flowers and books are, for many people, just as essential as daily bread.“ — Honoré de Balzac
„Who, being loved, is poor? Who, with freedom, books, flowers and the moon, could be unhappy?“ — Oscar Wilde
„Normality is a paved road: it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.“ — Vincent van Gogh
„The Earth laughs in flowers.“ — Ralph Waldo Emerson
„Everything in nature — every flower, every tree, every animal — has much to teach us.“ — Eckhart Tolle
4. Funny and Witty Quotes
-
„Some paint flowers and women so they can afford more food. Others paint food so they can afford to buy a woman flowers.“ — Miroslav Horníček
-
„Writing for critics is as pointless as offering flowers to someone with a cold.“ — Anton Chekhov
5. Flowers and Women (Ideal for IWD or Mother's Day)
We write these texts on cards most often in March and in May. They're a tribute to womanhood and motherhood.
-
„After women, flowers are the most lovely thing God has given the world.“ — Christian Dior
-
„Women are like roses: the more you care for them, the more beautifully they bloom.“
-
„I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.“ — Emma Goldman
-
„All women are flowers. Some are roses, some are lilies, but all of them need sun and love.“
Our tip: Emma Goldman's quote ("roses rather than diamonds") is the perfect message for an anniversary, if you want to emphasise that you value shared moments more than expensive gifts.
6. On Hope and Patience
Flowers teach us that beautiful things are worth waiting for. We send these sayings to people who need encouragement (for example, during illness or a difficult time in life).

„Every flower must grow through dirt in order to reach the sun.“

How to Use a Quote the Right Way? (Practical Advice)
Choosing a quote is one thing, but how do you deliver it so the effect is perfect?
-
Copy the text that spoke to you.
-
Choose a bouquet at KvětinyExpres.cz that matches the mood of the quote (roses for love, gerberas for joy).
-
In the basket, paste the text into the "Message for the recipient" field.
-
We'll hand-write it, or transcribe it in decorative script, onto a gift card, place it in an envelope, and deliver it together with the flowers.
Words on paper can fade, but the feeling they create together with a flower lasts forever.
