<p style="color: #333333;">With the arrival of the summer season comes the siren song of the outdoors. It's an alluring orchestra of lapping waves on the beach, soothing breezes wafting through the air, and friendly commotion as people leave home to enjoy the sun.</p>

<h2 style="font-weight: normal; color: #333333;">Sublime Sunflowers</h2>
<p style="color: #333333;">Few flower arrangements are as thematically appropriate for a summer picnic or playdate than our '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/102" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/102">Basket of Sunflowers</a>.'</p>

<h2 style="font-weight: normal; color: #333333;">Lovely Lilies</h2>
<p style="color: #333333;">According to ancient Greek mythology, lilies were associated with virtue, piety, and Hera, the Greek queen of the gods. Lilies were said to spring forth wherever Hera traveled.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Become the modern embodiment of Hera by bringing our '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2566" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2566">Lovely Lilies and Things</a>' basket to your next outdoor event.

<p style="color: #333333;"><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/daisies/">Daisies</a> contain innumerable different meanings across world cultures. In Christian culture, the daisy symbolizes chastity and purity. In Nordic culture, it represents love and sensuality. In other Western cultures, it means simplicity in transformation.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">At your picnic, it represents a great idea.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">To capture the summer in a simple, refreshing manner, consider our '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/tulips-daisies-hydrangea" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/tulips-daisies-hydrangea">A Splendor</a>' floral arrangement.

THE BEST FLOWERS FOR A PICNIC OR PLAYDATE

Birthdays

<p>September <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday/">birthdays</a> are an excellent time to celebrate someone's life- who they are, what theyve accomplished, what they mean to you. One special way to honor your September honoree is with gifts inspired by the sapphire, September's birthstone, or asters, September's birth flower. You can trust the team at French Florist to create beautiful birthday bouquets!&nbsp;<span id="more-1051"></span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Sapphires are typically most valuable in shades of brilliant blue. They have long been considered to bring wisdom, protection and even a bit of good luck. They have often been associated with royalty and the social elite ancient kings wore them around their necks to protect themselves from harm, while priests have worn them to receive divine wisdom. The great explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton carried a sapphire with him for good fortune while traveling, and even Prince Charles gave Lady Diana Spencer a sapphire engagement ring. If you would like to create a bouquet inspired by the sapphire, you can look to delphinium, hydrangea, and larkspur, all of which grow in shades of blue.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2888"><img class="alignleft wp-image-1056 size-full" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/08/fre.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 949px) 100vw, 949px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/08/fre.jpg 949w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/08/fre-250x300.jpg 250w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/08/fre-768x922.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/08/fre-853x1024.jpg 853w" alt="September birthdays" width="949" height="1139" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<p>Likewise, September asters also have much history and lore connected to them. Asters get their name from the Greek word for 'star, and many stories include a connection between asters and stars. For example, one legend proposes that Virgo cast stardust all throughout the earth. Another claims that when the goddess Asterea wept, asters bloomed where her tears fell.</p>
<p>Asters bloom in the late summer and early fall, and thus make appropriate ambassadors for September birthdays.</p>

CELEBRATE SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS WITH ASTERS & SAPPHIRES

The idea for a <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/fathers-day/">Father's Day</a> observance and holiday began 107 years ago in 1908. It took 64 years from 1908 until 1972 for the observance to become an official holiday after President Richard Nixon issued a proclamation. Six years earlier, President Lyndon B. Johnson had declared that Father's Day would be observed on the third Sunday of every June, but he didn't make it an official holiday.</p>
<h2><strong>How Father's Day Became a National Holiday</strong></h2>
<p>Most historians agree that the woman who was affectionately referred to as the Mother of Father's Day, Sonora Smith Dodds, deserves the credit for coming up with the idea for a day on which to honor fathers. As she sat in a Spokane, Washington Church on Mother's Day in 1908, listening to the pastor deliver a sermon, it occurred to her that fathers deserved to be recognized for their accomplishments, too.</p>
<p>Mrs. Dodd was the only girl in a family of six children. The youngest boy was born in 1898, and his birth must have been very difficult because Mrs. Smith, who was Mrs. Dodd's mother, died in childbirth. That meant that her father, William Jackson Smith, a farmer who owned land in a remote part of Eastern Washington, had to raise the six children all alone while tending to the farm that was the family's sole means of support.</p>
<p>Sonora Smith Dodds wanted to have the Father's Day observance in June because that was the month of her father's <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday/">birthday</a>. Originally, she wanted to have it on June 5, to coincide with her father's birthday. When it became clear that a June 5 observance wouldn't be feasible, the other people who helped her plan the celebration convinced her to move the date to June 19<sup>, </sup>1908, and many historians believe that that was the nation's first official Father's Day celebration.</p>
<h2><strong>Father's Day Gift Giving and Tributes</strong></h2>
<p>Mrs. Dodd thought that one way that people could show their respect for their fathers was to wear red <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> for fathers that were alive, but white flowers should be worn when the father was deceased. Over the years, gift giving became a big part of Father's Day observances all across the country. Shirts, ties, tools, and gadgets have always been hot ticket items for retailers just before Father's Day.</p>
<p>Treat dad to our <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=740">Live Maine Marvel Deluxe</a>. </strong>This lavish gift treats dad to delicacies from the East coast, including two live Maine Lobsters, two six-ounce filet mignons, 20 ounces of New England Clam Chowder, one pound of jumbo shrimp cocktail, 24 ounce plain cheesecake, Columbian coffee and all the necessary supplies to prepare this delicious feast.</p>

While they are diminutive in size and stature, they nonetheless have a powerful impact when given as a gift. They can also be used as a lovely accent flower in a variety of scenarios. The understated violet symbolizes humility and pure beginnings; it also stands for steadfastness and faithfulness in a relationship. Clearly, violet has profound and significant meaning if you look past the surface. The violet also has a rich and storied history.</p>
<p><strong>Ancient Origins and Present-Day Meanings</strong></p>
<p>The violet was prevalent in Greek mythology, an integral part of myths involving Artemis (also known as Diana, the hunter), and her brother, Apollo. The violet symbolized purity and chastity and was used as a means of cultivating virtue both in Greek stories and throughout Greek culture. The violet was heralded and celebrated in a number of ways, even being used in perfumes, aphrodisiacs and love potions. Ancient Romans were said to have made wine out of the violet's fragrant essence.</p>
<p>Today in America, the violet has been adopted as the state flower by no less than four states. Not surprisingly, it is also the national flower of Greece. The violet is also the birth flower for the month of February, so it has special significance for those who were born during the second month of the year.</p>

<p><strong>The African Violet</strong></p>
<p>One of the most popular and well-received species of the violet as a gift item is the African violet. With soft, velvety green leaves and rich, purple delicate blooms, it makes a delightful gift for just about any occasion. The African violet is easy to care for as well; it requires minimal watering and thrives in low to moderate sunlight.</p>
<p>An <a title="African Violet Basket" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=182">African Violet Basket</a> is a great way to gift the lovely African violet to someone you care about. This planter can feature violets in purple, pink and white depending upon availability, providing lovely variety for the recipient.</p>

Aside from being exquisite offerings from nature, both the ruby and the delphinium have also been chosen to officially represent birthdays in the month of July ' the first as the birthstone, the second as the birth flower.</p>
<p>As one of only four true gemstones in the world, the ruby holds a special place of distinction. Known as the 'king of stones,' the jewel has been coveted by rulers for thousands of years. Not only was the ruby reported to ward off enemies, invaders and evil spirits ' very important attributes for those in tribal cultures ' a true deep red ruby is exceptionally rare and therefore only royalty and the highest levels of society were deemed worthy of owning one. A person would be gifted with the benefits of the ruby simply by wearing it; qualities which included peace, wealth, good fortune and passion. Legend says that during July, the stone's essence and spiritual powers are heightened.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2708"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-631" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_FW1089090116122355.gif" alt="hollywood birthday" width="391" height="434" loading="lazy" /></a>Did You Know: Birthstones became popular in 15th century Poland when one was chosen for each month. The list has changed over the centuries but has remained largely unchanged since 1912. Traditionally, wearing the appropriate birthstone in each month would transfer each stone's gifts to the wearer, regardless of <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday/">birthday.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/florists/west-hollywood-spring-meadow/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-632" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_GAZERBOWL620334.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_GAZERBOWL620334.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_GAZERBOWL620334-150x150.jpg 150w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_GAZERBOWL620334-300x300.jpg 300w" alt="hollywood birthday" width="450" height="450" loading="lazy" /></a>The most valuable ruby is one that exhibits a rich, luxurious red with an overall hint of blue, making it look almost purple in some light. Therefore it is entirely appropriate that the alternate way to celebrate a July birthday is the delicate blue delphinium flower. The expert designers at French Florist can create a unique arrangement that blends the essence of the ruby with the lovely hue of the delphinium, resulting in a personal birthstone / flower inspired bouquet.</p>

This devastating illness impacts thousands of people every year. The disease is so prevalent that it touches nearly everyone either as a patient themselves or a loved one of a patient.</p>
<p>During breast cancer awareness month, people work hard to teach others about the disease. Although most people know that the disease is common, they might not realize who is at risk or the types of screenings that are necessary. The awareness activities can help remind people to get their screenings done, and early detection helps to save lives.</p>
<p>The color pink has become the color to represent this type of activism and countless people show their support for the cause by using pink to decorate. At French Florist, we have met many people interested in finding the right arrangement to show their support for this wonderful cause. These arrangements can be kept in the home or given as gifts.

This month, the designers at French Florists were inspired to create August birthstone flowers based the peridot. Although not as well known as some of the other precious gems, the exquisite hue of this stone makes it one of our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/favorites/">favorites</a> and we are not alone. For thousands of years, the peridot has been coveted and sought after, earning references in the Old Testament of the bible, as well as in ancient Egyptian culture. In fact, many scholars now believe that Queen Cleopatra, renowned for her love of emeralds, actually may have been collecting peridot and not emeralds.</p>

All shades of peridot, however, have a golden cast that tints the stone, giving it a rich aesthetic. When choosing florals to represent the birthstone, designers turn to <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/mothers-day/roses-hydrangea-orchids-/">cymbidium orchids</a>, green hydrangea and green mums, <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/flower-cluster-arrangement-los-angeles-ca/">poms</a> and roses. Adding cream or yellow florals adds the golden cast to the bouquet, simulating the effect of the peridot.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=3100">Green accents</a> add to the overall color palette, resulting a beautiful tribute to the birthstone.
