Today is Father's Day, and in a few days, we will usher in graduation season.
Although it is not as popular as the Mother's Day market, the sunflower ceremony on Father's Day has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in recent years. Sunflowers are sold in large numbers in the summer, whether they are made into bouquets, flower baskets, or flower gift boxes with fruits, cigarettes, and red wine, they all exude a sunny smell of fatherly love.
In addition to the classic sunflowers, some cool colors, or masculine flowers, tough and simple packaging, have also become the symbol of Father's Day flowers. For example, blue, black, gold, blue, purple and other flowers and packaging, different from the usual warm and romantic flower ceremony style, a look is a gift to the majestic father.
The concept of sending flowers in the graduation season appeared as early as ten years ago, but it has gradually become popular in China in the past two years. As with Father's Day, many florists still focus on sunflowers. Because it is not only the season, but also has the beautiful meaning of "winning the championship in one fell swoop". It's just different from the solemnity of the Father's Day flower ceremony, the sunflower flower ceremony in the graduation season is fresh and simple, full of youthful atmosphere.
"Our culture of sending flowers in the graduation season here began in 2018, when my daughter just graduated from high school, and many mothers wore beautiful floral cheongsam and held a bouquet of sunflowers standing outside the test center, wishing the children 'victory in the flag and winning the championship in one fell swoop'." Hubei Enshi yan zi flower swallow said.
Graduation season flower gifts are divided into two kinds of sending students and sending teachers, sending students are small bouquets, and sending bouquets to teachers is much fuller and more gorgeous, generally after the admission letter comes down, expressing deep gratitude to the teacher.
In Chongqing, the Flower Shop is located near Southwest University. The owner of the flower shop told the "China Flower News" reporter that the university, which has nearly 100,000 teachers and students, has a very large demand for flowers and bouquets during the undergraduate and graduate graduation season from the end of May to the middle of June. "The bouquet is mainly sunflowers, and hydrangeas, lilies, carnations, etc. are used as matching flowers, and such bouquets will sell for more than a dozen times a day, and the price is between 100 yuan and 150 yuan."
From late June to early July, Guangzhou Suris Floral Design Co., Ltd. will create some graduation season flower gifts. Since 2014, guangzhou has seen the consumption of flowers in the graduation season, and in 2015, it became a common practice. "Many schools hold an 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and parents choose to bring a bouquet of flowers to their children to express their blessings for their growth." General Manager Zhu Ziming told reporters.
These bouquets are usually based on sunshine, youth, and small fresh qualities, and the most commonly used are sunflowers, pink roses, peony chrysanthemums, etc.
Compared with The Domestic Market, Japan's graduation season flower market has risen earlier, from kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school to university, every March graduation season, flower shops can be seen everywhere with different meanings of flower gifts. The most representative is the fragrant pea flower, and the flower language is "departure". Different colors of fragrant peas also have different meanings, such as white peas representing "faint joy" and purple peas representing "eternal joy".
In addition, gerberas, tulips, carnations, anemones, buttercup, freesias, stars, roses, lilies, etc., are the main flowers of the graduation season.
The graduation season flower gifts sent by classmates are often just a small flower or a small bouquet, but they can well express the intention of blessing. Before and after graduation, especially at the graduation ceremony, everyone will write a blessing card to express the feeling of cherishing friendship.
In recent years, Japan's immortal flower ceremony has also become very popular during the graduation season. In addition, the flower head flower and the corsage are a scenic spot at various celebrations during the graduation season. After the graduation ceremony, there will also be a thank you meeting, and students will gradually become a necessary part of giving a bouquet of flowers to the teacher.
Summer is a romantic season, may the addition of flowers add more gorgeous and warm to this season.
