I am not an expert on this, however when you arrive in Latvīja, you should always give your host or his wife flowers. This seems simple, but in Latvīja special care must be taken so that you do not offend. I can not tell you all of the flower buying rules, but here are some of them:
- Never give an even number of flowers, even numbers are for funerals or negative occasions.
- Red still means love or feelings.
- Yellow; be careful, they mean that you are making up for something that you did to the receiver.
- Only give spring flowers to a new
- Always bring a Latvījan with you to the flower market so that you can get all of the rules correct. This will usually require several phone calls and some counsel with the flower lady. Do not be alarmed.
Who knew a dozen yellow roses was not a good thing to give someone. Size also matters and from what I understand only the biggest longest stems will do if it is a truly special occasion.
