Well let’s read what NATIONAL TODAY / NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR.. are saying about flowers in March!
National Plant Flower Day is on March 12 every year.
We don’t know about you, but flowers make us an infinitely nicer and happier bunch! We love how they’re just meant to bloom — no questions asked. The flower’s approach to life is worth emulating! Not only do they bring us joy, but there’s a flower for virtually every mood. Whether expressing grief, love, gratitude, or appreciation, flowers say it best when words fail us. So let’s spread the love and plant more flowers this National Plant a Flower Day.
Flowers have changed the face of the earth, quite literally, ever since they made an appearance in the Cretaceous period over 145 million years ago. Before flowers, the world was abundant in ferns and conifers – an endless expanse of green idyll.
Thanks to insects and dinosaurs plowing their way across, flowers diversified rapidly. The explosion of plant varieties and color cascaded into the birth of several plant families we know today.
Flowering plants are vital to existence. They’re food sources that provide humans and animals the sustenance we need to survive.
More than anything, flowers have an uplifting quality that captures the imagination. Many flowers bloom just for a short period, usually in spring or early summer. Although short-lived, few things compare to the beauty of flowers in full bloom. Perhaps their transient yet incomparable beauty inspired the symbolic meanings of flowers across various world cultures.
Across civilizations, flowers have retained certain myths and symbolism. Their fragility has come to represent death or new life. Sometimes they represent gods and goddesses too. But, there’s no denying how flowers in full bloom are a universal expression of joy.
During the late 1800s in Europe, a new concept around flowers became popular. These stunning blooms became a way to represent people’s feelings. Communicating through flower arrangements helped articulate the unsaid. Soon, codebooks to decipher the language of flowers would make communication easier. For example, a field clover meant, “When can I see you again?” A red rose petal meant “Yes.” Green flowers signified the receiver’s heart was made of stone!
The days of complex flower codes may be long gone, but flowers continue to bring joy and meaning to our lives. We may never know who came up with National Plant A Flower Day. The real question isn’t ”why?” but “why not?”
President Ronald Reagan declared the rose as the United States’ national flower on October 7, 1986.
Take a long walk in a park or garden today. Treat your senses to the sights, sounds, and smells of spring. In March? Oh Come On!

I always love to see the joy of Patti’s flowers! Will she grow some at the AZ apartment? I’m planning my garden, but can’t plant until Mother’s Day at the earliest. Trying to figure out how to plant a few acres of sunflowers at the new property. This girl now needs a tractor.
I enjoyed seeing pics of Patti with her flowers. Thank you!
Hugs from here,
Kit
Kit I also love to see the joy Patti derives from her flowers. Now that it has become a challenge for her to plant them, as I did last summer, this upcoming May I will step up to the plate and Patti and I WILL have flowers this upcoming summer. Planting acres of sun flowers with a tractor is in “another league” Kit. Big Smiles.. Cap and Patti
A-HA!!! I always suspected that you both, and Patti, particularly was a ‘Flower Child!’ And I so relate! What joy to see the plenitudes of color and blooms spring forth! Radiating life and love! Such tenacity, magnificent growth and resilience. I humbly believe we’re all partners in this mysterious thing call ‘life’.
Michael I am not quite sure either Patti or I were ever “Flower Children”.. Flower child is a term that refers to a hippie. It was the custom of “flower children” to wear and distribute flowers or floral-themed decorations to symbolize ideals of universal belonging, peace, and love. But hey why not! Smiles Michael..
