On Anzac Day, we all take some time to remember, recognise and honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served in our armed forces; in particular, those who lost their lives defending their country. Flowers have always played a role in this remembrance to show respect and gratitude.
At Moss n Stone, we understand the significance of this important day on our national calendar and like creating floral tributes that honour the men and women who have served our country. Let us take a look at some of the floral symbolism associated with Anzac Day and how we can help.
Best Anzac Day Flowers
Red poppies are the stand-out flower of remembrance on important occasions like Anzac Day. This stems back to World War I, where these bright red blooms were the first to grow in the aftermath of the battlefields across France and Belgium. Poppies were the inspiration of poets and writers alike during this time. Today, these blood-red flowers continue to symbolise the blood shed by those who served their country.
Another popular choice for Anzac Day floral arrangments is native Australian flowers that remind us of our national pride and strength. Examples include kangaroo paw, wattle, banksia and eucalyptus.
Other favourites for this occasion include simple and elegant blooms in white, red or muted colours. Examples include chrysanthemums, lilies and carnations. These flowers represent the seriousness of the commemoration with their understated dignity.
