It's Time For the 4th! Independence Day is Here!

Fireworks, patriotic colors, the Boston Pops — looks like it's that time of year! Time for Independence Day, or the 4th of July!

This day is one of our most important holidays as a nation, it's the day the Declaration of our Independence was signed. It's the day we became free! There are extravagant 4th of July parades in the mornings, and a wild display of fireworks at night set to the tune of some of our most patriotic songs: The Star-Spangled Banner, God Bless America, American The Beautiful, and many more! There are firework shows held in almost every corner of the states! So, no excuses for missing a 4th of July fireworks show!

Celebrating the Fourth of July often calls for patriotic-themed outdoor picnics and barbecues. Americans typically decorate with red, white and blue streamers, balloons, flowers, and more! If you're hosting or going to a 4th of July party, don't forget a big bouquet of patriotic, 4th of July flowers. What better represents summer than flowers? They are the perfect hostess gift.  If you know a soldier or a veteran, why not send them a beautiful potted plant or arrangement of flowers for Independence Day? It's a great way to say thank you for what they've done for you and our country.
