Salmon as a color is based on the coloring of salmon, fish, so there are orange and pink hues in the color. It’s a gorgeously soft and enticing color and is considered to have romantic overtones.
Luckily for the numerous fans of salmon pink as a choice for floral bouquets and as a color for the garden, many flower species have a salmon variety; ranunculus, dahlias, garden roses, and peonies.
You may want to add some salmon shades to your garden or patio or you may be considering a floral color scheme for a special occasion.
Salmon Flowers can coordinate well with creams and whites to create a gentle color scheme, or you can mix salmon hues with flowers that blend with the orange or pink tones of the salmon. Let your imagination swim free like a salmon!.
First, though, let’s feast our eyes on some beautiful Salmon Flowers.
Coral Peach Ranunculus
The salmon tones in this simply beautiful flower cannot help but lure the eye. The petals look like parchment dipped in the gentlest of hues and the multiple layers of the petals give the bloom a ruffled appearance that is sumptuous.

The salmon rose coloring is soothing and very attractive.

The overall effect of the coloring and the ruffled edges of the petals is lovely.

Begonia Daffodil Salmon

A house plant that will get your guests talking. The subtle hues of the soft salmon pink blooms are eye-catching. They resemble exotic birds perched or just about to take off.
