Easter Flowers
Flowers are a big part of Easter! The first flowers in the spring often start to bloom near Easter time. Easter flowers also bloom in bouquets and beautiful arrangements delivered to homes. Yellow is the number one color of Easter flowers, but also multicolored bouquets, white cut flowers and sweet pastel shades are perfect for Easter greetings. The most popular Easter flowers are yellow daffodils, colorful tulips and pastel colored roses, carnations and chrysanthemums.
The yellow narcissus or daffodil has been the most popular Easter flower for decades. Finns like to buy potted and cut daffodils for Easter. The small-flowered daffofil is the first outdoor flower of spring because it can stand a little frost. In the spring it can be seen in the gardens as well as in various flower arrangements indoors as well as outdoors.
You can decorate your home with daffodils or send them as a gift to someone. Daffodils are an excellent gift idea, because in the Far East, for example, they symbolize happiness. In China, daffodils are considered a popular symbol for spring. There are endless options for creating a beautiful spring and Easter-themed flower bouquet or arrangement, only your imagination is the limit!

Below are a few great options for this year's Easter flower greeting:
Care Tips for Narcissus (Daffodils):
- Place the flowers in a bright but not too hot place
- Take the flowers somewhere cooler overnight to prevent the stems from growing too quickly
- Cut off the withered flowers when you spot them
- Place the flowers in shallow, cold water
It is not necessarily recommended to cut new suction surfaces, as the mucus from its stem easily clogs the plant cells and thus makes it difficult to obtain water. The mucus is not good for other plants in the same vase. You can either keep the cut daffodils in their own vase or soak them in water overnight, wipe the liquids from the stem with paper and place them in the same vase with the other flowers. If you choose the latter option, you should change the water in the vase daily.
Care Tips for potted Narcissus (Daffodils):
Potted daffodils should be moved from the growing pot to a waterproof and moisture-proof pot, basket or balcony box. If necessary, the soil can be replaced with, for example, wet newsprint or kitchen paper. The most important thing is that the daffodil stays in place and that the moisture it needs is stored somewhere. For care, watering is enough, and the soil should stay lightly moist at all times. The bulbs are not watered directly, but from the outer sides of the pot through the soil.
Care Tips for Tulips:
Tulips and spring go perfectly together!
- Allow the package to warm to room temperature before opening.
- Cut a new suction surface with a sharp knife and change the water every couple of days. Suction surfaces should be cut directly.
- Place the bouquet still in its wrapper in a vase for half an hour to restore the tension of the stems.
- Put a small amount of cold water in the vase, add a little at a time.
- Add water frequently, in deep water the stem grows too much
- Remove the leaves that are below the water surface and place the flowers in a cool place overnight
