下面，我们就来探索一下日本人送花时遵循的一系列规则和禁忌。

首先，日本人对送花有很多礼仪讲究和忌讳，他们最喜欢香石竹及玫瑰花等。在近几年里，又出现了一股“洋兰热”，包括石斛兰、卡特利亚兰、文心兰、蝴蝶兰、万代兰等都非常受欢迎。而对于日本姑娘来说，最喜爱的花种包括红玫瑰、波斯菊、水仙、红牡丹、百合花、薰衣草、香豌豆花、八仙花、中秋节常见的芍药，还有石竹这些。

然而，日本人也有一些不太喜欢或者甚至完全不接受某些类型的鲜 花。比如说，他们讨厌莲藕与荷叶，因为在他们看来莲藕象征着死后世界，而荷叶则被认为是不吉利的事物。如果你想给日本朋友或同事送菊子的话，那么只能选择品种只有15片瓣的小型菊朵，不要选择其他任何颜色的菊朵。

此外，Japanese people tend to avoid the color purple, which is associated with sadness; they also dislike green, as it is considered an unlucky color. They are superstitious about numbers too - they don't like the number 9 or 4. And in terms of photography, they believe that having three people take a photo together can lead to bad luck.

In addition, Japanese culture dictates that certain types of flowers should not be given as gifts or used for decoration. For instance, sending chrysanthemums (especially white ones) during hospital visits is taboo because it's believed that the flower signifies death and decay. Similarly, giving a bouquet containing only one type of flower or using flowers with specific colors may be seen as insensitive or even offensive.

When visiting someone who's ill, Japaneseprefer red or pink roses over other colors because these symbolize love and healing. For mothers' day celebrations in Japan though, people often choose five specific flowers: lingonberry (a type of hawthorn), monkshood (a rare plant), cherry blossoms (for their beauty), mint leaves for its refreshing scent and wintergreen leaves for their evergreen nature.

These floral choices carry deep meanings: maternal love nurturing growth and happiness in children’s lives.

So there you have it! These are some interesting facts about Japan's unique floral traditions and etiquette rules when it comes to gifting flowers.
