Flowers are incredibly meaningful at Easter. Although all our Easter flower favourites are well known for their beauty and versatility, some have a long and exciting history! Here are some of our top Easter flower picks and why they make the perfect choice this Easter:
Tulips
Tulips remain one of the most popular Easter flowers and come in a range of different colours, all equally beautiful and vibrant. The tulip flower originated in Turkey but is generally most associated with Holland due to Dutch cultivation. A little-known fact about tulips is that their bulbs became so popular in Holland in the 16th century, that they were used as currency for a time! The Dutch tulip bulb market bubble (more fondly knows as ‘Tulipmania’) was one of the most famous market bubbles and crashes in history! During the early to mid-1600s, speculation drove the value of tulip bulbs to extremes where the rarest tulip bulbs traded for as much as six times the average person’s annual salary!
Iris
Did you know that iris is a Greek word that means rainbow? Perhaps this is because they are widely available in a huge variety of shades and colours like green, yellow, orange, red, blue, green and yellow. The upright petals of the iris are also said to symbolise the three qualities of faith, valour and wisdom, so there are plenty of great reasons why these flowers are one of the most popular choices at Easter time!
White Daisies
Daisies were historically among the flowers that grew in ancient Egyptian temple gardens. White daisies are still known as the ultimate spring flowers and are synonymous with hope, serenity and purity. The stunning white petals, coupled with their subtle yellow centre are just divine and will be sure to give any room a bright glow this Easter. Whether you present them in a mixed arrangement featuring white daises or in a full bouquet, you can trust that special someone will be delighted with this sunny presentation of Easter flowers!
