March is a month filled with joy and new beginnings. As the winter frost begins to thaw around the country, nature awakens with vibrant colors and fresh scents or in some areas we go from the rainy season to the dry season. It's the perfect time to herald the arrival of spring and embrace the beauty of blooming flowers. We will explore the significance of flowers in March, including the popular Easter holiday and the enchanting daffodils, which happen to be the birth flower of this month.
The first day of spring, also known as the vernal equinox, is a special time when day and night are of equal length. For 2024, this happens on March 20th. It's a moment to celebrate the return of warmth, longer days, and the blooming of nature. To mark this special occasion, why not fill your home with the vibrant colors of spring flowers? Tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and cherry blossoms are just a few examples of the many flowers that bloom during this time. Let The Flower Factory create a stunning floral arrangement or simply place a bouquet on your dining table to welcome the new season in style.
The Daffodil: March's Birth Flower
For March, the birth flower is the daffodil. These cheerful trumpet-shaped flowers are a symbol of rebirth, new beginnings, and the arrival of spring.
They bring a sense of joy and optimism, reminding us that warmer days are ahead. Whether given as a birthday gift or used to decorate your home, daffodils are a perfect way to celebrate March birthdays and embrace the beauty of the season. Not every flower shop carries them so call ahead.

Celebrating Easter with a Burst of Colorful Blooms
Easter, a Christian holiday celebrated in March or April, marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday is set to coincide with the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon, the first full moon after the vernal equinox. It's a time of joy, hope, and new beginnings. Flowers play a vital role in Easter celebrations, symbolizing the renewal of life and the arrival of spring.
When it comes to Easter flowers, Lilium longiflorum Liliales, white lilies, are a popular choice. These elegant blooms represent purity, innocence, and the resurrection. Their trumpet-shaped petals and sweet fragrance add a touch of beauty and spirituality to Easter decorations and church services. These flowers always come in plant form, presented in a basket.
In addition to lilies, tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths are also commonly associated with Easter. These vibrant flowers bring a burst of color to Easter baskets, table centerpieces, and outdoor gardens, creating a festive and joyful atmosphere.
Whether you're decorating for Easter, celebrating a March birthday, or simply embracing the first day of spring, flowers are the perfect way to add color and cheer to your life. So, go ahead and fill your home with the enchanting fragrance and vibrant hues of spring flowers from The Flower Factory, and let the magic of this season shine all around you.
*A note of precaution, not all floral shops carry easter lilies, daffodils or tulips even in spring and that includes both cut flowers or plants/planter baskets. When planning for flower shops orders, please check for availability and order ahead.
