Memorial Day in the US is set apart as a national day to recognize the sacrifice of the men and women of the armed forces. It’s a day to honor their service and remember what they gave up to keep the United States free. Here are some flower facts and gift ideas if you are looking for a special way to honor someone this weekend.
Red roses
These beautiful flowers represent love, honor, passion, and devotion. These were the same qualities demonstrated by each member of the armed forces who decided to serve the country. Those we honor on Memorial Day were so devoted to their country and their fellow soldier that they laid down their life for their fellow man and their country.
White Daisies
Daisies often came to symbolize the innocence and youth of those who went to war by the families and friends of those who fought so bravely. If your Memorial Day bouquet is for a soldier who passed away at a young age, consider including daisies to represent their youth.
Blue hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are associated with gratitude and thanksgiving toward one another. Because of this meaning, they’re a perfect complement to any Memorial Day arrangement. The message these flowers send is one of thanks to the service member and the family for the sacrifices they’ve made.
