Green flowers
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Green is the colour most associated with St Patrick\u2019s Day, representing not only the lush Irish landscape, but also new beginnings, health, fertility, fortune and longevity. Whether you choose zesty green blooms like hydrangeas, chrysanthemums and carnations<\/a>, or simply incorporate lashings of fresh green foliage into your arrangement, the result won\u2019t fail to spark a sense of hopeful vitality \u2013 perfect for the start of spring. Pair green with peaceful white for a classic, calming look, or add in some hot orange for a high-energy nod to the Irish flag. Legend has it that spotting the first daffodil of the season will bring you a year of good luck, which is handy timing given they start popping up around St Patrick\u2019s Day. To ensure happiness, make sure that you always give or display a bunch \u2013 a single daff is a bad omen, no matter how jolly it looks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite its name, this striking plant with its green, bell-shaped bracts actually comes from the Eastern Mediterranean. Widely considered a lucky charm, akin to a four-leaf clover, Bells of Ireland often features in St Patrick\u2019s Day celebrations. It\u2019s also commonly given to wish a loved one well on a new journey, be it a graduation<\/a>, job or wedding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cheery marigolds are known in some cultures as \u201cherbs of the sun\u201d, promising success and positive energy for all who gaze upon them. Their sunny orange-yellow colour also reminds us of the pots of gold that leprechauns hide at the end of rainbows, according to Irish folklore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Historically hung over doorways, placed under pillows or burned to ward off evil spirits, lavender is a powerful safeguard against negative energy<\/a>. Its name comes from the Latin \u201clavare\u201d, meaning \u201cto wash\u201d, reflecting its power as a spiritual cleanser, and it\u2019s often used in peace-promoting rituals. Some even believe its soothing scent attracts fairies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In many parts of the world, but particularly in East Asia, chrysanthemums are seen as harbingers of a long, happy, prosperous life. Their bright colours are thought to bring uplifting energy into a space, making them a fitting choice for getting the St Patrick\u2019s Day party started! They also boast an impressive vase life<\/a>, spreading joy long after everybody\u2019s stumbled home to bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nicknamed \u201cfairy cups\u201d, pretty primroses are a leading character in Irish folklore. Tradition tells that leaving these picture-perfect flowers on your doorstep will invite blessings from fairies and protect your home and family. Blooming early in spring, they also symbolise rebirth, fresh starts and the promise of better things, encapsulating the St Patrick\u2019s Day spirit. Known as the \u201cflower of riches and honour\u201d<\/a> and always stunning with their fabulously frilly petals, it\u2019s no wonder peonies are one of the most popular blooms. Symbolising success, happy relationships and good wishes, they fit in perfectly with the sharing of luck and positivity that St Patrick\u2019s Day inspires in us all. Hydrangeas represent abundance, gratitude and heartfelt emotion with their big, bountiful clusters of pink, blue, white or green flowers. These scene-stealing blooms are a fabulous match for St Patrick\u2019s Day\u2019s spirit of joy and generosity, giving any display a lush, plentiful look suggestive of great things to come. Elegant and long-lasting, both as potted plants and cut flowers, orchids<\/a> have been associated with the elite for centuries.

Today, they are often seen in five-star hotels and are a refined way to wish luck and prosperity to hard-to-please loved ones. The eternal optimist of the floral world, sunflowers never fail to raise a smile.
