Gerberas are loved by people all over the world for their wide variety of colors and adorable flowers. Not only are cut flowers often used in bouquets and flower arrangements, but they are also popular among gardening beginners because of their ease of care. In this article, we will introduce you to "Gerbera Days," which are related to gerberas.
The origin of Gerbera Day
Gerbera Day was established at the National Gerbera Growers Exchange Meeting held in 2005. There are three reasons why the date was chosen as April 4th:
- The name "Gerbera" was first registered in Japan in April 1958.
- April is the peak shipping season for gerberas.
- The mnemonic for "418 = good flower"
There are no set events for Gerbera Day, but we recommend spending the day enjoying the charm of gerberas by displaying them at home or giving them as gifts.
Three reasons why gerberas are a great gift
Gerberas are also popular as flower gifts for milestone celebrations and important anniversaries. Their appeal goes beyond their cute appearance. There are three main reasons why gerberas are a welcome gift.
- A wide variety
- Long-lasting flowers
- Positive flower language
A wide variety
Gerberas are actively bred, and it is said that there are over 500 varieties. New varieties are born almost every year, with a huge variety in color, petal shape, and blooming patterns (single, double, spidery, etc.). Being able to choose a color and shape that matches the recipient's preferences and atmosphere is a great benefit for both the giver and the receiver.
Long-lasting flowers
Gerberas have very long-lasting blooms, and if you drain and change the water regularly, you can enjoy their beautiful appearance for 2 to 3 weeks. Since regular cut flowers last for about 1 week to 10 days at most, gerberas can be enjoyed for a long time even after giving them as a gift.
Positive flower language
Gerberas are well known for having many positive "flower meanings." In addition to the meanings common to all gerberas, different colors have different flower meanings, so it's a good idea to choose a color that matches the message you want to convey.
- General: "Hope," "Positivity," "Beauty"
- Pink: "Noble beauty," "sublime love," "compassion," "gratitude"
- Red: "Always positive," "Mysterious love," "Passion," "Endless challenges"
- Yellow: "Friendliness," "kindness," "ultimate beauty"
- Orange: "perseverance," "adventure," "mystery"
- White: "Hope," "Purity," "Duty"
Pink and red gerberas, which have flower meanings related to "love" and "beauty," and white gerberas, which are perfect for bridal occasions, are also recommended as bouquets for proposals.
