  花是大自然最美妙的礼物。每个人都喜欢它们。花象征着爱,幸福,欢乐以及所有积极的情感。而那些古老悠久的花已经成为所有仪式和节日中最主要的部分。 

  但现在人们对花产生了一个误解。大多数时候人们把花与女性联系在一起。人们忘记了男性对花也有温情的一面。在父亲节给你的父亲送上一束鲜花,他保证会欣喜若狂的,尤其是具有建筑风格的,大胆而狂野的热带花朵,它们具有男性的特质,生命力持久,高大而强健,和父亲的角色往往很相似。白玫瑰和红玫瑰是公认的父亲节节花。白玫瑰象征纪念已故的家严,而红玫瑰象征着赞美健康尚在的父亲。 
  男人喜欢明快,炙热,大胆以及斗志高昂的颜色,像是黄色,橙色,紫色和红色。他们布置花的时候绝大多数情况下会与他们有组织的,善于计算的头脑保持一致。他们还喜欢自然的,富有现代感的,时尚新潮的花束。只要他心中有谱,他可能会选择玫瑰,雏菊或其它充满异域风情的花朵。鲜艳生动的红玫瑰与黄色的雏菊深受大多数男人的喜爱,从而也成为父亲节最理想的鲜花礼物。 
  Flowers are a wonderful 
  gift of nature. Everyone likes them. Flowers portray1 love, happiness, joy and all the other positive emotions. Since time immemorial flowers have been an integral part of every celebration and festival。 
  But there has been a misconception. Flowers are mainly associated with feminine gender2. It is forgotten that men to have a soft side to them. Gift your father a bouquet3 of flowers on Father's Day and he surely will be overjoyed. Flowers, especially architectural and bold like tropical flowers, which are masculine, long lasting4, tall and sturdy 
  like the fathers usually are, can be given. White and Red Rose are known to be the official flowers of Father's Day. People wear a white rose to honor a father who has deceased and a red rose for a father who is living。 
  Men love bright, hot, bold and aggressive 
  colors like yellows, oranges, purples and reds and the arrangements that they go for are mostly the linear ones that are in sync with their organized, calculating mind. They also love the natural and contemporary floral bouquets5 that are stylish6 and trendy. One may opt7 for roses, daisies or exotic 
  flowers, if only one keeps the color theme in mind. Vivid red roses and yellow daisies are loved by most men and thus make ideal flowers to be gifted on Father's Day.
