Check out this list for the official anniversary flowers for years 11 to 50 before you order a bouquet from your local floral shop:
Tulips are recognizable due to their uniquely shaped blooms that come in various bright colours. Tulips grow from bulbs in March and all throughout spring. These beautiful flowers originated from Central Asia.

Peony bushes produce big and fluffy flowers in various colours like coral, maroon, white, and yellow. They smell amazing, too. Peonies are springtime flowers that grow in Asia, Europe, and Western North America.
Peonies represent compassion, happy marriage, good luck and romance, among others. A dozen peonies would make the perfect gift for your wife of 12 years!
Chrysanthemums or mums, as they are often called, grow more in the fall, although some grow them through all the other seasons, too. They come originally from China and come in shades of red, violet, and yellow. Chrysanthemums have lots of petals and grow in mounds.

Growing in the summer until the fall, dahlias are among the most exquisite flowers you can find. They grow from tubers and come in an array of colours like pink, orange, red, white, and yellow. There are even multicolour ones that are truly mesmerizing. Dahlias are native to Mexico.

Perhaps the most recognizable and popular flower in the world, roses are the official 15th-year anniversary flowers as they stand for strong love despite challenges in the relationship.
It is said that roses were first grown around 2000 BC in Iraq. They come in a range of colours and sizes. There are orange, pink, white, red, and yellow roses. Any of these colours can be given on your 15th wedding anniversary, but red is perhaps the most popular choice.

Give your loved one a bouquet of irises for your 25th anniversary, as this one shows a message of strength and longevity, as well as hope, communication, and faith.
Many are familiar with orchids because they are houseplants that are loved in different parts of the world. Their delicate flowers come in various shades. The most common colours are pink, purple, white, yellow, and sometimes, they come in patterns of spots and stripes. Orchids often bloom once a year though there are some that flower a few times more.
Orchids signify love and strength, a perfect symbol for 28 years of togetherness.
Lilies are popular in Asia, North America, and Europe, where they are grown. They are perennials that grow from bulbs and end up as colourful blooms with six petals shaped like a trumpet. They come in gold, pink, orange, red, and white. While they often represent springtime, lilies actually grow in early summer and fall.
This 30th-anniversary flower symbolizes motherhood, love, purity, and femininity.
Natively grown in South Africa, there are 260 species of gladiolus. They are grown from a bulb all through the summer and can come in a variety of shades; the most common being rose, pink, white, lavender, and yellow.
They represent the 40th year of marriage, and what values come with a relationship that withstands the test of time – honor, calmness, faithfulness, integrity, and persistence.
For those who have reached their golden anniversary, a combination of violets and yellow roses is a perfect present. Violets are originally grown in Tanzania and other parts of Africa. They have small petals with a circular pattern in violet, of course.
