We love special occasions, and the springtime is full of them! From our Easter finest to honoring our Dads, the spring gives us many reasons to celebrate. The many graduations that will be observed across the Evansville area over the next few weeks give us the opportunity to tell our friends and family that we are proud of them and their achievements. And what better way to greet your graduate after the ceremony, than with a huge bouquet of congratulatory flowers!

From the dignified processional march to the tossing of the caps into the air, the graduation ceremony is steeped in traditions. The liturgical-style gowns, the colors of the hooded robes, the tassels on the cap and the rolled up scroll given as a diploma – all have deep significance and a long history. The same can be said about the custom of giving flowers. Flowers have been used to crown victors, to adorn conquering heroes and to indicate success for millennia, reaching back into ancient civilizations. Many varieties of flowers have meanings that have largely been forgotten in contemporary society, but that can be used to create arrangements that are personal and unique.
