Anniversary Flowers!

Next week hubby and I will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary!
I found this very interesting and wanted to share...You may not have known that each anniversary milestone has a flower associated with it. Well, it does.

The pansy is the time-honored first anniversary floral, and unfortunately, if we were to go by these anniversary flower rules and if your favorites are roses, we all must wait patiently until our 15th anniversary for roses and much longer for beautiful orchids! Geez!

For your enjoyment, below are snap shots of the first five years worth of anniversary flowers.

The others are also listed. So, if you’re going to play by the rules, be sure to share this with your husband or fiance.
