Flower Information & Facts

By Lizbeth Nathaniel


Valentine's Day is one holiday that is extremely important for the flower industry. Roses in particular, are being sold in millions on and around this holiday including all other flowers. There are also weddings which the flower industry have their eyes fixed on. Knowing about flowers may interest you and so here are some more facts.

It might be surprising, but Valentine's Day is not the biggest time of the year for florists, particularly for online flower shops. Mother's Day is actually a more profitable day for this industry. In fact, about 25% of the yearly sales occur around this observance, after all while it's mostly men buying on Valentine's Day, on Mother's Day, both women and men are buying items.

It may also surprise you to know that florists can be really busy on weeks around Christmas and Hanukkah. This is due to the fact that people don't just order in high quantity during the holidays but most orders are also made extravagantly. Floral arrangements during this time are not merely for gift-giving but for decorations at home, during parties and family events too because fresh, seasonal flowers are great for making your home look especially inviting.

The flower industry still gives credit to Valentine's Day as a huge day placing third for selling flowers in really high volume. Even when most of those who buy flowers are the husbands it can't be disregarded that many women also buy for their own selves and for a friend or family member. If you think that roses top the list of most flowers sold on this day, it is in fact only second to mixed flower arrangements. Still, most of these arrangements also focus on roses, but still include other types of flowers.

A noteworthy fact: 70% of the blooms being sold by florists in the United States are imported. Colombia is the nation that is the most prevalent supplier of flowers to the U.S. Of the 30% that are grown domestically, the vast majority come from California, which is not surprisingly considering the mild year-round climate.

Flowers are one of the most popular gifts in the world and can be given for almost any occasion. Scientists actually have found there to be a link between happiness and the giving of flowers. If you have a friend who needs a little bit of love or is feeling unwell or depressed, contact your San Clemente florist today and send them a beautiful bouquet.
