Nuances of world flower traditions and business bouquets

For example, you may lose a deal during negotiations with your Hungarian partner if you give them chrysanthemums: for Hungarians, they are funeral flowers, just like carnations are for Americans or white asters and lilies for Swedes. But the Japanese will be delighted with chrysanthemums. It is better not to give red roses to Germans or Mexicans: in Germany, they are seen as a sign of sensual love, and a red rose is a symbol of blood and death for Latin Americans. Turkish or Chinese people will like red flowers, decorated with greenery. But you should not give Turkish people a corporate bouquet of white and blue flowers: in Turkey, this color combination means sadness.
