Great article about the symbolism, history and meaning of lilies

by

I always find the history of flowers interesting. I’ve discussed the meaning of roses and their colors before on this site, and now I’d like to point you towards an article that discusses the symbolism, history and meanings lying behind Lilies.

The article is located on the Clare Florist Blog. It’s the first in a series of blog articles that will discuss the myths and legends behind some of the most well known flowers.

I don’t want to tell you everything that’s in this wonderful write up about the history and symbolism of lilies, however I will give you a tiny tidbit to peek your interest:

Did you know that Greek mythology states that when the goddess Hera was nursing her son Hercules excess milk fell from the sky. Some of those drops landed on the ground and it was from this that the first lilies grew.

The article also tells how Lilies were recognized as a symbol of purity. You’ll have to read the article to find out exactly how this came about though.

While I was on the blog I happened to take a look at the floral selection at Clare Florist and they have a lovely selection. You might consider getting some Lovely fresh lilies delivered throughout the UK by Clare Florist if you live in their delivery area.






Lovely Flowers and gift baskets for Easter

by

It looks like Easter weekend has arrived. Did you remember to send flowers to your mother or perhaps to another relative that you can’t be with this weekend?

If you are thinking of sending flowers to someone you love take a look at the fine selection of flowers at ProFlowers. They have some absolutely gorgeous Easter bouquets and gift baskets. You can pick and choose between a large number of Easter flowers such as tulips, iris’, lilies (Calla lilies, Easter lilies, and traditional lilies), orchids, roses and many other lovely flowers. They also have some wonderful Easter baskets filled with goodies.

When you make an order with Proflowers your flower delivery will be made up of flowers fresh from the fields. They guarantee that your flowers will last for 7 days or you’ll get your money back.

If someone were to send me flowers at this time of year I’d love to get a bouquet of tulips. My own tulips aren’t up yet, and for some reason I rarely cut my own flowers, yet I love having flowers indoors almost as much as I enjoy seeing them in my garden. Yes, a bouquet of tulips would be nice.

If someone where to send you flowers for Easter or perhaps Mothers Day what kind of flowers would you like to receive?

Don’t forget to send some flowers to your mother!
