Find Your May is the month where spring stretches to it’s fullest extent and offers up mild weather, bright blooms and just enough sun to make your day sparkle. It’s the perfect month to make some time for the outdoors, open all the windows in your house and breathe in the warm freshness of the season. Even if it means talking a little allergy medicine to make it through that fine day! Here are our very favorite reasons to send flowers this month:
#1. Cinco de Mayo – May 5th
Literally “the 5th of May” in Spanish, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated each year on, yep, May 5th. This date commemorates the Mexican victory over the French in 1862. The holiday has grown tremendously in the United States as a celebration of Mexican pride and honoring of heritage. All over the country, people come together to throw fiestas and sing the praises of a colorful culture. And what better way to add to festivities than bringing beautiful flowers to be enjoyed by all? Whether celebrating your roots or just appreciating someone else’s, contact your local florist to help add a punch of COLOR!
#2. National Nurses Day – May 6th
Nurses handle everything from assisting doctors during major surgeries to making sure medicines and doctor’s orders are followed through. We all owe a big thanks to the nurses in our lives who often work long difficult hours caring for the youngest, the oldest and the sickest around. National Nurse’s Day celebrates these hard-working individuals. So brighten the day of a nurse you know. Send a cheery arrangement that gives thanks to all they do day in and day out.
#3. Mother’s Day – May 11th
This really is the mother of all flower-sending holidays and that’s because nothing shows love and unconditional affection like fresh-cut flowers. Have your mom’s flowers delivered during the week to her office so she can show them off to her friends. Or have flowers arrive on the weekend to help her enjoy her special day. Speaking of special, be sure to ask your local florist about their Mother’s Day specials. No matter what style or variety you choose, your mother is sure to feel the love this Mother’s Day with flowers.
#4. Armed Forces Day – May 17th and Memorial Day – May 26th
That’s 2 chances you have this month to show your love for the red, white and blue! Armed Forces Day salutes soldiers currently serving in the military while Memorial Day is set aside to honor those fallen heroes who gave their life in service. Send a beautiful patriotic themed bouquet to a special friend or family member who serves or served their country through military service. This month, take time to remember the strength of our county comes from the collective efforts of these military men and women.
#5. May Birthdays
Have family or friends with a May birthday coming up soon? Show them just how thoughtful you are with a lovely arrangement. Make it even more thoughtful and personal by ordering their favorite color. Not sure what color, style or flower would be a hit? Talk to your local florist to see what is trendy and in season right now. Some all-time favorite flowers for May are peonies, alstromeria, callas, delphimium, freesia and snapdragons.
