Every season in Quebec: A new opportunity to give flowers

Quebec lives to the rhythm of four distinct seasons, each bringing its own set of colours and inspirations to compose the most beautiful bouquets.

• Spring (March - May) : Coming out of winter, it's the season of renewal. Tulips, hyacinths and irises, with their vibrant colors, are perfect for celebrating the return of warmer weather.

• Summer (June - August) : The days are long and sunny. It's the perfect time for cheerful and hardy flowers like gerberas, sunflowers, and lilies for vibrant bouquets.

• Autumn (September - November) : The landscapes are adorned with warm hues. Chrysanthemums, dahlias, and roses in deep colors (orange, burgundy, mauve) create rich and textured arrangements.

• Winter (December - February) : The cold weather sets in, making the colors and warmth of flowers even more precious. Amaryllis, roses, and orchids bring a touch of luxury and comfort to homes.

Occasions and flower choices: Show that you've thought of everything

In Quebec, the choice of flowers is important because they carry strong symbolism. .

• Birthdays and Celebrations : For a joyous occasion, it is customary to give an odd number of flowers. A colorful mix of gerberas, lilies, or peonies (during their short season) is always appreciated.

• Expressions of Sympathy : In difficult times, white flowers such as lilies and carnations are traditional choices to express respect and purity. It is advisable to avoid overly colorful arrangements.

• Romantic Anniversary for Couples : The red rose is the ultimate declaration of love. For a more subtle message, pink roses or lilies can also be suitable.

• Housewarmings and New Home : Offer potted plants or long-lasting arrangements such as orchids or a mix of flowers with foliage to wish welcome and prosperity.

• To Avoid : Red roses are reserved for romantic love, so it's best to avoid them for expressions of gratitude or friendship. Similarly, white lilies and chrysanthemums are strongly associated with funerals.
