Tulips

Smaller types can be displayed individually in bud vases and placed in several different areas of the home.



Daffodils

Daffodils are the ultimate spring flower. Yellow trumpet daffodils symbolize happiness and hope. Bringing daffodils into your home at Easter will set a festive atmosphere. It doesn't really matter what kind of container you put them in. Daffodils will command attention in any vase and also look great displayed in glass pitchers.



Iris

Dutch iris flowers are vividly colored and an arrangement placed anywhere around your home is sure to please your Easter guests. Deep purple and true blue are two of the most valued colors in Dutch iris flowers. They look stunning in a mixed bouquet with pink or yellow tulips or Daffodils of any color.



White Lilies

White Easter lilies are are a long standing tradition. White lilies symbolize purity and in the Christian tradition they symbolize the resurrection of Jesus. The Easter lily is also known as the Madonna lily and it is native to Asia. It normally blooms in summer but florists give the bulbs special growing conditions to assure that they bloom at Easter. Like most spring flowers they are shipped while in bud to make them last longer. Potted Easter lily bulbs are very popular because they can be planted in the garden after blooming.
