Easter Flowers and Their Significance

White Lily

The white lily is regarded as the traditional Easter Flower. It represents purity and serves to remind one of the divine, unblemished nature of Jesus Christ. The single flower stem arising from a bulb represents the resurrection of Christ three days after his crucifixion. Giving it to someone indicates it was a pleasure on the part of the giver to know the receiver.

Chrysanthemum

Generally, all flowers of this variety are said to be the symbols of cheerfulness. Gifting a chrysanthemum on Easter is believed to bring good cheer to the reciever and indicate that he/she is a precious friend. A white chrysanthemum represents honesty or truthfulness. A yellow chrysanthemum is given if the relation between the giver and the reciever is something more than friendship as in slighted love.

Daffodil

It is one of the most popular Easter flowers and holds a special significance for lovers. Gifting a daffodil to someone indicates that you hold that person as the only one in your life. It also shows that the receiver is akin to a daffodil for you and he/she is the one who has brought brightness in your days. Curiously, daffodil is also used as a symbol of unrequited love.
