St. Patrick's Day Flowers

Picture
​


​

​St. Patrick's Day  is Sunday, March 17

With St. Patrick’s Day less than two weeks away we thought we’d share a little information about the three popular green flowers most connected to the holiday.
Bells of Ireland: Also known as shell flowers, Bells of Ireland are native to Turkey, not the Emerald Isle , but their fresh green color and symbolism of luck (derived from the bell shape) give them their Irish nickname. Bells of Ireland have been in cultivation since the 1500s.
Grow Bells of Ireland from seeds from Ace Hardware of Adams.

STPATS ARRANGEMENT

​Green Carnations:  These flowers have been a popular choice for St. Patrick’s Day since around 1900.
Carnations were once considered a symbol of Zeus by the ancient Greeks and the name "carnation" is of Greek origin meaning “divine flower.”
During the middle ages, white carnations were a traditional wedding flower (symbol of purity and fidelity). And in 1894, Robert S. Hichens wrote a novel called, The Green Carnation, where the flower represented a character that wasn’t afraid to live life to the fullest.

Shamrock (Oxalis)
​
Shamrocks:
 Probably the most popular floral to represent Ireland and with great reason as well.
Legend says St. Patrick used to use the leaves to demonstrate the Holy Trinity.
However, the history of shamrocks goes farther back, to the Druids of Ireland, as it is a symbol of the mystical number in the Celtic religion. 
Read about Shamrock Houseplant Care Tips here.

​Here at Anchor Floral we love the rich rainbow of colors that flowers come in and green is no exception!  
​
We wish the luck of the Irish to you all and may you discover a leprechaun and a pot-of-gold at the end of a rainbow! Here is an Irish blessing just for you...

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
