Welcoming new neighbors can be a big deal, especially if you live in a close-knit community or value neighborly relationships. Whether it’s your work community, social circle, or neighborhood, being welcoming is always good. You may be asking yourself what they’ll be like, whether they’ll be dependable and if they have similar interests to you. One of the best ways to break the ice is with a symbolic housewarming botanical. Here at Marco Island florist, we have lovely arrangements and plants with a myriad of different meanings and intents. Find one that reflects you and show the neighbors you care.

A Warm Welcome to the Neighborhood

Orchids

There are few flowers as beloved as orchids. They are well known because of their beauty, but they are also a flower of many meanings! Orchids hold unique and heartwarming symbolic messages. Pink Orchids signify joy and happiness. Yellow indicates rebirth and new beginnings, and green orchids are believed to bring luck, fortune, and blessings.

Monstera

One of the rising stars of the houseplant world is the Monstera plant, and for a good reason too. Monstera plants hail from the tropics and are known for their wide green leaves that are shaped by natural holes and edges and that give them a refreshing and tropical feel. It is because of this shape that the plant is colloquially known as the “swiss cheese plant.” It is also known for symbolizing honor, respect, and longevity.

Lucky Bamboo

Any neighbor would be happy to receive a lucky bamboo due to its fun and light-hearted appearance. As the name would imply, they are thought to bring good luck and fortune. It is also tied to harmony, happiness, and peace. A lucky bamboo plant sends a great message and is a beautiful and unique plant.

Peace Lily

Similarly to the “lucky bamboo,” the peace lily is straightforward with its purpose, and with a name like that, it’s hard not to feel calmness, zen, and peace around it. The peace lily has beautiful white blooms and grand green leaves that make it one of the most dazzling plants on this list.

Peonies

Sometimes the best way to say hi is with a bold statement. Peonies are certainly bold and are perfect for celebrating big changes like starting a new job, moving to a new home, or starting a new marriage and symbolize love, joy, wealth, good fortune, and happiness in marriage. Gifting peonies to say “hello” to your new neighbors is a great way to send them best wishes.

Sunflowers

Nothing is as welcoming and bright as a lovely sunflower bloom. Following the sun, its golden yellow petals add a ray of sunshine to any home and make a wonderful gift. Sunflowers symbolize peace, love, optimism, happiness, and longevity. Sunflowers make an ideal housewarming arrangement.

Stargazer Lilies

With ancient symbolism and a history as old as time, Lillies make a fantastic housewarming gift that any host would be delighted to receive. Like orchids, these flowers derive unique meanings from the different colors they bare, with pink lilies representing prosperity and yellow lilies representing joy.

Daffodils

Daffodils are a popular springtime flower known for their beauty and for symbolizing rebirth and renewal. Their cheerful and quirky appearance makes them a wonderful gift. It is their unique appearance that led to them representing chivalry or being courteous and thoughtful like a good neighbor.
