Easter Flower

Flowers play an imperative role throughout the Easter season. Some of them are even called Easter flowers because of the connotation and symbology they hold. The time-honored Easter Flower is lily. The white lily is an emblem of purity. The single flower twig coming up from a bulb signifies Christ coming back to life three days after his crucifixion. The true name of Easter lily is Bermuda lily. Its purity and calm tones remind us of the virtuousness and purity of transformed life.

Easter lilies are a native of the Ryukyu Islands in southern Japan, but the US currently controls the growth market of the Easter lily. Presently the most generally found and grown Easter lily is a variety known as Nellie white. This variety has the shape of traditional Easter flower. These Easter flowers are also often called the "white robed apostles of hope" and are found all over during the Easter season.

Easter flowers are often mentioned in bible. They play a noteworthy role in symbolic tales and are associated to motherhood and are strongly related with the Virgin Mary. They are often allied with the annunciation, or the rebirth of the Virgin, tying them in closely with Easter spirit. In United Kingdom and Russia the pussy willow is the traditional Easter flower and not the Easter lilies. Still universally found Easter flower is the Narcissus. Other commonly used Easter flowers are daffodils, tulips and in Germany some types of red flowers are used which symbolize the blood of Christ. The flowers which are not as much used but seldom used are the chrysanthemum, daisy, carnation, and still sunflowers have establish their path into the tradition of Easter flower. However, Easter lilies make the ideal Easter flower. They carry the old and new traditions collectively, representing both worlds and way for the Easter season. They are also a grand Easter reward which is given by everybody year after year. We, the flowers for all occasions, provide you the very best collection of Easter flowers.
