Peonies are one of our favorites, now available at Wholesale Flowers!

The peony is a significant flower, both historically and mythologically. A few common peony meanings include good fortune, happy marriage, prosperity and romance. They also coincide with honor, compassion and even bashfulness. There is a short season for peonies, with most of them blooming from late April to Mid June.

Each of these wonderful flowers is similar to a work of art, with it’s layers of petals forming tight buds. These buds eventually unravel and reveal brilliant ruffled blooms. The scent of a peony is often sweet and similar to that of an open rose. Many describe the scent as having a slight citrus tone. Not sure if you have a peony? The first way to tell is by looking at the flower bud. If it looks like a round ball, you likely have a peony. Next, take a look at the stems and leaves. A peony flower will not have thorns and is usually accompanied by leafy green foliage.

Easter Flowers: No matter what your religious beliefs are, flowers are always nessecary!

Many of the traditions that come along with Easter stem from early Christianity. The first thing many Christians think of is Jesus Christ rising from the dead and ascending into heaven. Other (non-religious) people see Easter as a fun-loving holiday including magical bunnies, candy and colorful painted eggs. These stories and symbols all stand for new beginnings, new life and rebirth. Easter flowers will always play a large role in these ceremonies and celebrations. The soft whites and brilliant pastel colors of these freshly opening flower buds symbolize just that… new life.

Flowers are a traditional way to add beauty, warmth and radiance to any home or special event. White blooms have always been a popular way to give thanks to the highest. This is especially true on Easter Sunday when Christ rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Here are a few flowers that we think truly symbolize all the different Easter celebrations:

Mother’s Day is only 30 days away. Are you ready?

Mother’s Day is approaching fast, in fact, it is only about 30 days away. We want to make sure our customers are not caught off-guard and are ready ahead of time this year. Mother’s Day is a day to recognize our mothers and all of the mothers that play a role in our life. Whether it’s your birth mother, your grandmother, the mother of your children or a sibling, it is important to show them how much they mean to you. Traditionally, carnations were the floral symbol of Mothers Day. It is believed that carnations were born from the tears of the Virgin Mary, making them a symbol of a mother’s undying love and therefore a popular choice for Mothers Day. Today, carnations are still a sought after flower; however, many other flowers have become increasingly popular for this special day. Here are a few of our Mothers Day favorites:

Roses

Roses are another common Mothers Day flower whose colors represent a variety of different things.  Used to show emotion for hundreds of years, roses are a traditional gift for mothers day. Red roses typically represent romantic love, making them a perfect choice for your wife. A deep pink color would be great for your mom, as this displays appreciation or gratitude. Yellow would be a good gift for a sibling or a friend, as it represents joy and happiness.

Tulips are one of the quintessential spring flowers, making them a frequent choice for Mothers Day. Moms with a laidback personality make the perfect recipients for Tulips. They symbolize overall happiness, comfort and relaxation (a few things all moms deserve).

Are you tired of giving your mom flowers on Mother’s Day, only to see them die a week or so later? We have a solution for you! Pick up an orchid plant from Wholesale Flowers & Supplies and give your mom months of lasting beauty! Not only to orchids last forever, but they also only require a small amount of effort to keep them alive. If orchids are properly cared for, they have the ability to rebloom for years to come.

Daisies are the flower of innocence and typically represent purity and/ or overall happiness. Their blooming sun shape and vibrant colors make them a desired flower, especially for mothers. Brighten her special day with a bunch of fresh daisies! 

This year, be sure to remember all the mothers in your life and give them something special. Whether it be a bouquet of fresh flowers or a handmade card, we are sure she will absolutely love it! Don’t forget to shop around our website for a wide variety of lovely Glass Vases
