It's National 'What' Day?

It’s been a while since I have done a blog post. I’ve had lots going on with the release of my book A BOUQUET OF WORDS Express Yourself Through the Language of Flowers. 

Everything about writing and publishing a book has been a new experience for me. I’ve learned so much including that once the book is written and published the work is not done. Now it’s time for marketing! (I’m working on that.)

What I want to share with you today is some upcoming dates that you might find interesting. 

It’s all the rage nowadays to have ‘National Days’. You can find days for everything from ‘National Creative Ice Cream Flavours Day’ (July 1st), ‘National Pet Rock Day’ (September 1), to ‘National Joy Day’ -  which isn’t about being joyful, but about celebrating everyone with the name ‘Joy’ (December 7)!

It’s no different when it comes to flowers. Several have their own ‘National’ day.

There are three in the upcoming months. These are great days to share flowers with others and introduce them to the language of flowers. In November and December you have:

November 10: National Forget-me-not Day

Forget-me-not - Remembrance

While forget-me-nots are not in bloom at this time of year, you could find a card with an image of these delicate blue flowers and send them to someone to let them know you are thinking of them.

December 12:National Poinsettia Day

Poinsettia - Good cheer

If you are attending a holiday party, a poinsettia with its meaning of ‘good cheer’ makes the perfect hostess gift.

December 19: National Holly Day

Holly - Domestic happiness 

Do you know anyone getting married or moving into a new home? Giving a bunch of holly would be a wonderful symbolic gesture

In A Bouquet of Words you will find a calendar of ‘National Flower Days’ throughout the year. 

(I guess I squeezed in a bit of marketing with that last sentence 🙂.)
