Flower to Every Season


Springs Best Bet: Cherry Blossoms this flower is a perfect fit for the love in your life. For the Chinese, this flower symbolizes feminine beauty, principle and love. Their rich, pink petals give them unmatched beauty. Runner ups: Daffodils, Lillies, Lilacs and Tulips.

Summers Best Bet: Daisies Forgetting about HAL's creepy singing about a girl named Daisy as he was shut down in A Space Odyssey, these flowers are beautiful, so much so that they rank fifth in the world in terms of cut flowers. Runner ups: Geraniums, Jacobs Ladder, Roses and Sunflowers.

So beautiful is this flower that in ancient Japan, the emperor adopted it as his official seal. Beyond its use as a beautiful gift, these flowers make an excellent tea, can reduce indoor air pollution and its seeds act as an effective insecticide. It is the official flower of Chicago and the official flower for the month of November, which is on the cusp of winter oddly. Runner ups: Asters, Zinnias, Gerbera Daisies and Marigolds

Winters Best Bet: Forget-Me-Not, What other flower could be used for winter than the Forget-Me-Not, the state flower of Alaska, a place known for winter and snow. This flower, luckily for it, does not need sun but rather shade. Runner Ups: Jasmine, Orchids, Poinsettias and Hollies.
