More Than A Flower: The Freesia

We look deeper into the flower and find its personality. This helps with clients who are indecisive about their floral plan.  It also adds an extra special dimension knowing that your flowers are a reflection of you!! Continuing with our "More Than A Flower" series, we feature the "Freesia"!! 

It’s a wonderful flower to show appreciation to a trusted friend, in return for an act of kindness. The 7th wedding anniversary flower, in the language of flowers, freesia are said to symbolize innocence, friendship, and thoughtfulness.

The freesia originated from South Africa and is a newcomer to the western world. It was almost unknown until the 1950’s, but it is now one of the most sought after cut flowers. Its popularity is linked to the flower’s fragrance and the small delicate blooms.


As much as for the beauty and grace of the blossoms, freesias are enjoyed for the light, sweet fragrance. These flowers are perfect for wedding bouquets, headdresses, corsages, and boutonnieres or you can add fragrance to a room in your home! The most popular freesia varieties are called Ballerina.

Thanks to its meaning of sweetness and innocence, it has become a common flower given to a new mother to welcome a new baby, the sweetest and most innocent thing in the entire world.
