This March 8^th, you can send a palm plant or laurel flowers to a woman who has achieved victory and success. Or perhaps, you will choose to send lotus flowers and sage leaves to the wisest women in your life. Then again, a dramatic arrangement of gladioli might be the most appropriate gift– they represent strength of moral character and courage. March 8^th is International Women’s Day, and there are many of meaningful ways to recognize and celebrate the amazing women in your life with flowers.

The day is observed around the world as a way to raise awareness regarding inequality and human rights offenses against women; as well as to celebrate the achievements and victories of women around the world. Originating over 100 years ago in Soviet bloc nations and then in Europe, the annual gatherings have grown to include over 100 nations, and enjoy the support of the United Nations. The global observances have a yearly theme that guides many of the events; 2016 declares that women should “Make it Happen”, a reference to the push for gender parity.

Here in America, we honor women and their achievements. There are women of influence in every aspect of society; and they impact every part of our history, and our future. The most significant women in your life are every day heroes – and as such, can be remembered with bouquets that convey both respect and gratitude.

Zeidler’s Flowers of Evansville has the flowers, plants and gifts you need for every occasion throughout the year; on this special day, let us help you to honor the women in your life.
