Queen Elizabeth II’s Favourite Flowers

In May, during one of her last public appearances, a floral portrait was unveiled to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee featuring her favourite flower: lily of the valley. Symbolising motherhood, purity and happiness, it is also associated with gentleness and humility.

Lily of the valley held deep sentimental meaning for the Queen. It featured in her bridal bouquet and in her coronation bouquet in 1953, and it is believed to bloom in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

Easter Flowers

Easter is a celebration of rebirth. As spring arrives, flowers begin to bloom and nature awakens, filling the season with colour, fragrance and new beginnings. This symbolism has long connected spring flowers with Easter traditions.

While once linked to the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre, modern understanding traces the word “Easter” to the Latin phrase “in albis”, later becoming “eostarum”. Today, Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the themes of redemption and renewal. Spring flowers, blooming between March and April, now carry layered meanings for the holiday.

International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day has been marked for more than a century across Europe and America. In Italy, on 8 March 1946, the mimosa flower was chosen as the symbol of strength, sensitivity and solidarity for women.

Mother’s Day Flowers

Mother’s Day, as we know it today, grew from a hugely successful 1917 floral campaign, “Say It with Flowers”. It transformed how flowers are gifted for special occasions and remains one of the busiest events in the florist calendar.

Flowers have long symbolised motherhood, springtime and new life. Their beauty and purity resonate deeply, making them a natural expression of love and appreciation.
