June 12 - Red Rose Day

Red Rose Day

June 12th is Red Rose Day. Give a loved one a red rose to celebrate. Today, I'll think about the first red rose I received from my man. It was a single, perfect, thornless, red rose. The day I received that rose? That was a good day.

Did you know that different color roses mean different things? That each flower has a meaning? You'd better think twice before you send your next bouquet.

June 11 - Kamehameha Day

Kamehameha Day

Let's face it. Any king who can unite the Hawaiian Islands and form alliances with the major Pacific colonial powers in order to preserve Hawaii's independence deserves a holiday.

Get lei'd in honor of King K today! You know, with a lei...made of flowers...get your mind out of the gutter!

May 30 - Water a Flower Day

Holiday Insights

Although the official name of this holiday directs you to water a single flower, you should probably go ahead and water any plants you may have around the house. We don't want to discriminate against any kitchen herbs and dwarf citrus you may have sitting around the house.

Take the time today to make sure your plants are getting enough sun and think about adding some fertilizer. Also, you may want to wipe down any large leaves that may have collected dust, and prune back any dead parts or thorns.
