Whether it’s a blooming bouquet or a single stalk artfully posed in a glass vase, nothing brightens up a room like fresh cut flowers. It’s also a sure way to make any woman smile! Attractive flowers don’t necessarily have a pleasing smell or any scent at all. So if you are looking for a touch of aromatherapy with your flowers, then you will need to have some working knowledge of the more popular fresh cut flowers. As a trusted Gold Coast florist, we're here to give you our top four favorite flowers that equally match looks with scent.

Hyacinth: The tightly clustered flowers from a hyacinth bulbous plant are usually blue, pink, or white and resemble five-pointed stars. It has a fragrance similar to lavender, but slightly sweeter.

Lavender: This herbaceous perennial plant produces purple blue flowers that bloom in summer months. The small petals of the flowers can be found in clusters at the tops of the plants’ silvery green stalks. The flowers last a long time, as does its distinct calming fragrance.

Lilacs: The flowers from lilac bushes or trees have small petals and grow in clusters at the ends of the branches. They bloom in spring to early summer and have a short vase life of three to five days. Lilacs have a soft sweet smell that is very pleasant—though short-lived.

Peonies: Peonies are herbaceous plants that produce fluffy flowers with large petals. The most common peonies are Chinese peonies and the double flowered types are the most popular. They usually bloom in late spring or early summer and have a citrus/green/woodsy scent.
