Leave a Comment / Blogs, Flower Sending Suggestions, Flowers for Christmas / Amy-Paige Cox

Okay, friends! It’s time to investigate the secret life of December flowers together! As a plant mom myself, I understand the value of communicating with the plant world. Although you could tag me as a delusional flower-child for quite literally talking to my indoor plant babies, we are not here to discuss my metaphysical beliefs on the energy exchange between humans and nature. Instead, we’ll explore the language of flowers. Similarly, as gifts, flowers speak a language of their own, and every flower hosts a series of symbolism, metaphors, and meanings. Today we’ll take a deep dive into the secret life of the December flowers: Holly and Narcissus.

Holly and Narcissus are two different flowers, each with their own meanings but always thriving during December. Whether you’re celebrating your own birthday or giving a gift to a loved one, including a holly or narcissus flower in a birthday bouquet is a sure way to make for a meaningful gift.

Leave a Comment / Blogs, Flower Sending Suggestions / Nolly Mngadi

From the corpse flowers that grow generously as they hover ten feet above their flora cousins to the watermeal that thrives and blossoms despite being the size of a mere grain of rice, flowers are both mysterious and beautiful companions that make life and love interesting. To the naked eye, flowers are simply the harvest of seeds, but in reality, they are as complex and unique as us humans – Only more colorful. Today we’re diving into the life of one of our favorite exotic spooky flowers: Anthurium!

Ever heard of Anthurium? Yeah, me neither. At least not before delving into this blog. However, I am certain that at least three-quarters of us have seen and touched a type of Anthurium. Also known as flamingo flowers (yes, it does kind of look like the animal), anthuriums are popular leather-textured house plants that come in a wide variety of colors. They make for great gifts, have a few legends centered around them, and are pretty easy to take care of.

Sweetest Day: Unique Ways to Send Love

Leave a Comment / Blogs, Flower Sending Suggestions, Flowers for Valentine's Day, Romance / Amy-Paige Cox

It is said that you always gain by giving more love, and by giving more, you will never lose. We express our love in many ways, but our goal is always to show appreciation for those we care about most. Every day is an opportunity to showcase our love in small ways, but occasionally there are special days that encourage us to spread kindness as far and wide as possible. Then Sweetest Day is one of those occasions!

Held on the third Saturday of October, the Sweetest Day is a day of showing appreciation with gifts of candy or gestures of kindness to those you care about or anyone who could use a little more sweetness in their lives! While the tradition started with gifting candy and sweets to family and friends, the day is laced with lessons of caring for others in need and doing small things. It is a day that reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness can improve the lives of those around us. Let’s take a closer look at Sweetest Day and how Russian Flora can help you celebrate.

Father’s Day Plants & Flowers Dad Will Love

Leave a Comment / Flower Sending Suggestions / Nolly Mngadi

If I were tasked with mentioning all the reasons that make fathers so special and worth celebrating internationally, we would need thousands of scrolls, dozens of durable feathers, and gallons of ink to pen down all the things that pop up when I think of all that fathers represent, hence Father’s Day. Father’s Day rolls by yearly and celebrates fathers in all their glory! Making now the perfect time to learn about the perfect Father’s Day plants to surprise dad!

Fathers do much more than fixing broken cabinets and unclogging congested waste pipes that no one else would dare touch. Their value goes beyond anything you can measure. Good fathers are a rock who fill a variety of roles. Just like there’s no perfect way to be a father, there’s no perfect gift for a dad either. Over time, I’ve seen how a traditional African father’s role grew from traditional decision-maker and breadwinner, to equally involved in the running of the household. With that came a realization that fathers also appreciate ‘soft’ and overly sentimental gifts. Like flowers that were previously only appreciated by women. You can only guess how excited I was to find this little detail out.

Just about everyone has heard of the Mimosa cocktail. A delicious combination of champagne and orange juice that goes perfectly with a mid-morning brunch, but did you know there is also a Mimosa flower?

I didn’t.

The mimosa cocktail was named after the colors of the mimosa flowers. With their fluffy yellow blooms, Mimosas have been compared to rays of sunshine. They are also the symbol of International Women’s Day. If you’re as curious as I was, read on to understand more about these fascinating flowers.
