These are our top 3 winter flowers that will definitely boost your mood while adding a splash of color and a touch of elegance and grace to your home or office.
Anemone
The name anemone comes from the Greek word “windflower”, and this exquisite bloom is often found in vibrant shades of red, blue, purple and yellow, but also in soft colors such as pink and white. Anemones come in various splendid shapes: single and double forms, and symbolize love and loyalty, which makes anemones bouquets perfect for weddings. Not only this flower is all about anticipation for something to happen, it is also believed that anemone protects against ill will and evil.
Chrysanthemum
These beautiful flowers, also called mums, come in vibrant shades of purple, yellow, orange, red, pink, and lavender. Chrysanthemums have the deep symbolic meaning of trust and longevity, and joy, with more specificity by country: life and rebirth in Asia (it is the national symbol in Japan), sympathy in Europe, friendship and happiness in the United States. Fun fact: in Greek superstition, the chrysanthemum is believed to protect against evil spirits.
They are the perfect gift for a soon-to-be mom or your best friend.
