Language of flowers: something that says goodbye and good luck?

I'm looking for flowers that represent new beginings and say goodbye and good luck for a close friend who is moving away. I want to give my friend some flowers as a good away gift. What are some good flowers to use?

"Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing," noted the poet Thomas Hood (1799-1485) in his poem The Language of Flowers.
Reply:I just know yellow is friendship.
Reply:Peach Roses are always a winner.
Reply:Are these cut flowers or live? Yellow is a good color, like yellow daisies.





If you want to give a living plant, consider a lucky bamboo plant (the kind that sits in a pot of water and gravel). Another plant that means prosperity is a jade plant (succulent). Expecially the kind with the really small leaves. Best thing about a jade plant is that it's almost impossible to kill them.
