Find Your Another page has turned on the calendar. March marks the month of fresh spring blooms and reasons to get up, get out and get happy as the days are longer and warmer. You can send some of your new found joy to others with an arrangement from your local florist. Here are the very best reasons to send flowers this month. 
#1. Mardi Gras – March 4th
Laissez les bons temps rouler! Or rather, let the good times roll! Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday” and is the traditional celebration taking place the day before Ash Wednesday. The official colors of Mardi Gras were selected in 1872 and have specific meanings – purple for justice, green for faith and gold for power. And while you may be far away from the thrill and excitement of Mardi Gras parties and parades, you can help loved ones celebrate with flowers! Your local florist can create a complete vision of Mardi Gras in color and spirit with bright spring flowers.
#2. International Women’s Day – March 8th
Not just another Valentine’s Day’s or Mother’s Day here. International Women’s Day stands as a day to champion the strength and accomplishments of women. This day has a history of acknowledging the struggles of women to gain equal rights. While the date has changed a few times since its start in 1908, actress and activist Beata Pozniak solidified the bill that made this holiday officially recognized by the US in 1994. The UN sets a theme for each year to bring about awareness. 2014 proclaims “Equality for Women is Progress for All.” Individuals often wear purple ribbons to mark the day. Send a bright blooming bouquet to any strong trailblazers in your life.
#3. St. Patrick’s Day – March 17th
Kiss me, I’m Irish! This day got its start commemorating Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland in the 17th century. Over the years it has grown into a global celebration of Irish heritage and culture. From parades to green beer, almost every city finds a way to celebrate. If you aren’t celebrating, or at least wearing a bit o’ green, you might get a pinch! Send a little green to someone special this St. Patrick’s Day and the luck of the Irish might just be with you until next year.
#4. First Day of Spring – March 20th
Finally! It has arrived! Sometimes nothing can be sweeter than saying goodbye to the winter winds and welcoming in the changes that spring offers up every year. New life is popping up everywhere and flowers are the first to get started with so many beautiful varieties coming into season. There is certainly someone in your life that could use some perking up after such a long winter, even if that someone is yourself! Send a lovely fresh-cut arrangement of new spring flowers to knock the winter blues away for good.
#5. March Birthdays
Daffodil, narcissus, jonquil, Lent lily, Easter bells, whatever you decide to call it, this happy harbinger of spring is the official birth flower for March. So if you know a special someone with a birthday this month, daffodils are really the best choice. They have a wide range of meaning covering unrequited love, chivalry, affection returned, desire, and love. And all varieties are fragrant and beautiful this season.
