Flower of the Month - Daffodil

Ah, daffodils—the ultimate sign that spring has officially arrived! 🌼 These bright, cheerful blooms pop up just when we need them most, bringing that first hint of sunshine after winter’s gray skies. They’re like little floral trumpets announcing, "Hey! Warmer days are ahead!"

The Meaning Behind Daffodils

Daffodils have been around for centuries, symbolizing new beginnings, happiness, and hope—which makes perfect sense, considering they’re one of the first flowers to bloom in spring.

Fun fact: In many cultures, daffodils are considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity (especially if you see the first daffodil of the season!). So, if you’ve been looking for a reason to treat yourself to fresh flowers… consider this a sign. 😉

Daffodils also make a meaningful choice for sympathy flowers & bouquets, symbolizing renewal and remembrance when honoring a loved one.

How to Use Daffodils in Floral Arrangements

Daffodils are bold, bright, and full of personality, making them a gorgeous statement flower in any bouquet. At Twigs Florals, we love pairing them with:

🌿 Tulips – A perfect spring combo, bursting with color
🌸 Hyacinths – Adds texture and a beautiful fragrance
🌼 Ranunculus – Soft, romantic, and oh-so-lovely with daffodils
🌾 Eucalyptus or greenery – A fresh, natural contrast to the golden hues

Daffodils are also perfect for office decor, adding a cheerful vibe to any desk, reception area, or dining table. Need something long-lasting? Try our dried flower arrangements or succulent arrangements—ideal for offices with no windows.

How to Keep Daffodils Fresh Longer

Want to keep your daffodils looking their best? Follow these simple tips:

💦 Keep them separate at first – Daffodils release a sap that can shorten the lifespan of other flowers. Let them sit in water alone for a few hours before adding them to a mixed bouquet.
✂️ Trim the stems at an angle – Helps them absorb water better.
🌡 Use cool, fresh water – Change it every two days to keep bacteria away.
☀️ Keep them in a cool spot – Away from direct sunlight, heaters, and ripening fruit (which releases ethylene gas that speeds up wilting!).
