Flower Day

Flower Day is celebrated annually on May 20. It makes a toast to the beauty of flowers and the ways they are useful to us. On the holiday, environmentalists and conservationists create awareness about flower conservation and what can be done to save endangered flower species.

History of Flower Day

We love flowers because of their awe-inspiring beauty and fragrance. They also play a significant role in romance, medicine, rituals, and religion. You can spot them at christenings, funerals, weddings, and parties, as corsages and boutonnieres at special occasions, and as home decorations and thoughtful gifts. They are also used at places of worship, especially by Hindus. It’s not uncommon to see religious shrines adorned with flowers.

There are also some flowers that regularly feature in our meals! Nutritious vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and artichoke are actually flowers. Similarly, some flowers are used as spices, such as crocus (or saffron), cloves, and capers. Hops are used in beer, and dandelion and elderflowers are used in wines and cocktails. Moreover, some flowers are used to make herbal teas, while others are used as metaphors. For example, red roses symbolize love, poppies of death, iris and lilies of burial, and daisies of innocence. Artists and poets have also sought flowers as muses.

However, caring for flowers is no mean feat! Flowers have their own unique requirements in terms of growth and health. Some flowers prefer to be in the shade, while others need sunlight. Still, others thrive in damp soil, while some require the soil to be on the drier side. Flowers are divas, but they’re divas that have held our hearts for centuries.

Friday-Flowerday und der Winter ist wieder da.

Winter? Da sieht man morgens aus dem Fenster und denkt. Sehe ich richtig? Schnee??? Wenn Ihr jetzt sagt, ob ich den Wetterbericht nicht gehört habe, dann muss ich das verneinen. Es hörte auch den ganzen Tag nicht auf zu schneien, also ganz schnell die Kamera geschnappt und ab auf den Balkon. Schön sieht es ja aus. Aber ich hätte jetzt schon gern die Sonne gehabt. Aber was sagt mein…

Flower Day

Today is Flower Day! It is unknown why May 20 is the holiday's date, although there is a Flower Day that takes place at the Eastern Market in Detroit on the Sunday after Mother's Day each year, which is around May 20. Flowers are revered by people because of their beauty and smell. They are associated with romance, medicine, rituals, and religion, and are even used as a food source. They are often used at christenings, for funerals and sympathy, for weddings and parties, as corsages and boutonnieres at social functions and holidays, and as home decorations. They are also used to worship goddesses, being brought by Hindu worshippers to temples.

There are some flower vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and artichoke, and some flowers used as spices such as crocus—which produces saffron—cloves, and capers. Hops are used in beer, and dandelion and elder are used in wine. Flowers can also be used to make herbal teas.

Some flowers are associated with certain meanings. For example, red roses are associated with love, poppies with consolation after death, iris and lilies with burial, and daisies with innocence. Flowers have also been featured by writers in poetry and by artists in paintings.

How to Observe Flower Day

Many things can be done today to celebrate flowers:

Send or give someone flowers.

Plant a flower bed. Check to see when the best time to plant is and what the sun and soil needs of flowers are, as well as what zones they grow best in.

Put potted flowers inside your home or at your place of work.

Make something with edible flowers.

Read some fun facts about flowers.

Purchase lotions or soaps with flower extracts or make your own.

Take a lavender bath or fill your home with the scents of rose and jasmine.

Read poetry about flowers such as William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" or William Blake's "Ah! Sun Flower."

See famous artwork about flowers such as Van' Gogh's Sunflowers or Monet's Water Lilies. After inspiration by those artists you could do your own flower art. Why not do so while sipping on some jasmine tea?

Plan a trip to "Flower Day" in Detroit.
