The mimosa first became a symbol of women’s freedom on March 8th, 1946 — now known as International Women’s Day. Italian women gifted the flower to one another on the day in order to highlight their plight as undervalued and overworked employees, a simple gesture that has resonated for almost 80 years.
The forget-me-not is a flower that wears its heart on its sleeve. The stories behind the name may vary (one suggests the flower forgot its name while blooming in the Garden of Eden), but the message remains the same: to ensure a favorable and indelible memory of the sender.
Once synonymous with medicinal properties, nowadays the peony is associated with financial success, good fortune and love. The pinker the flower, the more romantic the meaning, with paler pinks indicating bashfulness and well meaning, while red peonies are a wish for wealth and prosperity.
