Spring Flowers from Interflora Make the Perfect Floral Gift this Easter
With so many beautiful spring flowers available this month, Interflora's inspiring selection of seasonal flower arrangements, hand-tied bouquets and planted spring baskets means customers are spoilt for choice when choosing flowers for Easter.
(PRWEB) March 30, 2007 -- It is thought that Easter originally started life as a pagan festival in celebration of the spring and of birth, with the name Easter coming from Eostre, an Ago-Saxon goddess of spring to whom the month of Eosturmonath, our modern day April was dedicated. Whilst some scholars have suggested that an alternative translation of Estor-monath means 'the month of opening' or 'the month of new beginnings', one indisputable fact is that Easter has become as synonymous with spring flowers as it has with chocolate and bunnies, another famous symbol of fertility.
It's no surprise that spring flowers are so popular. They are pretty and arrive in abundance; they smell fabulous; they are relatively inexpensive so everyone can afford to enjoy them and they come in so many beautiful colours.
From the soft blues and mauves of hyacinths, the pinks and lilacs of scented freesias, through to the huge array of yellows and whites that daffodils and narcissi come in, spring flowers really do come in every colour of the rainbow.
Yellow is the nations favourite spring flower colour, no surprise really when one considers that the UK is still the world's largest producer of daffodils; a fact that will be welcome news to the environmentally aware consumer wanting to cut down on flower miles. Also grown in the UK, although in far smaller numbers, are tulips, irises, narcissi, freesias, chrysanthemums and roses.
Also at this time of year but from further a field, Longi Lilies and Oncidium Orchids also start to appear both of which are available at Interflora.co.uk. Also known as Easter Lilies, Longi Lilies have become popular due to their dramatic shape and beautiful fragrance and have come to signify beauty, hope and life during the Easter season. Oncidium Orchids are more commonly known as The Golden Shower orchid, most likely due to their pretty deep yellow colour. They have delicate sprays of tiny yellow flowers, shaped like skirted dancing girls and although they'll last several weeks, to prolong the flowers, it is important to keep them away from fruit, vegetables and dying flowers because they are sensitive to the ethylene gas that these produce.
