8th of March, International Women’s Day
International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8, is not such an old holiday. For the first time, this celebration took place on May 19, 1911 in Germany, Austria, Denmark and several other European countries, where socialist marches and demonstrations took place. The date was chosen by German women because, on the same date in 1848, the King of Prussia had to face an armed revolt and promised to make a series of reforms, including the introduction of the vote for women.

Fresh Flowers for 8th of March
It is extremely important to celebrate International Women's Day to honor and celebrate the various achievements that women have made around the world, regardless of the area: society, economy, politics and culture. It is also a time when we can remember those who have yet to hear and continue to be prevented from reaching their potential because basic rights such as health and education are still not recognized for some women in the world.

St Valentine’s
Among the legends of Valentine's Day's association with the famous Saint "Valentine" or San Valentino in Italian, the bishop and martyr of the Italian city of Terni who lived between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, is his protection of lovers and lovers.
Saint Valentine was born in the city of Terni in 176 into a pagan family, but converted to Christianity when this cult was still steeped in paganism. The Roman bishop devoted his life to the Christian community and the city of Terni, where persecution against the followers of Jesus intensified. He became bishop of the city in 197 at the hands of Pope San Feliciano, then became the protector of love all over the world.
Valentine clashed with anti-Christianity in those years, particularly between Emperors Claudius II and Aureliano.
But despite his rescue from Claudius II, Aureliano managed to arrest and kill him in Rome on February 14, 273 AD by the soldier Furius Placidus, and he died on the Via Flaminia, where his remains were buried.

The Power of Sunflower
Sunflowers are originally from North America and have been cultivated for over 4,500 years. This is partly because the entirety of the sunflower plant is edible, so the leaves, stalks, and roots could all be used as food. In fact, sunflowers were grown as food in North America before other crops such as corn commonplace.
In addition, sunflowers were milled to create flour, and their seeds were roasted and eaten. As is still the case today, sunflower oil was used in cooking. The oil and pigments could also be used for various cosmetic applications such as dyes, and the stalk could be used in construction.
Sunflowers became popular as a decorative flower when Spanish explorers brought the seeds back to Europe in the 1500s.Sunthe power of sunflower

FLOWERS FOR QIXI – CHINESE VALENTINE’S DAY – COLOR CHOICES AND MEANING
Fleur De Ioana's Fleur De Ioana's Fleur De Ioana's
The Qi Xi is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. It is the particular Chinese “Valentine”, in memory of an ancient legend that speaks of the love between a shepherd and a fairy.
The traditional festival Qi Xi has its origin in the ancient legend that tells us about the love between a shepherd and a fairy. Many years ago, there lived a young shepherd named Niu Lang who fell in love with Zhi Nü, the beautiful fairy seamstress of Heaven.
Soon, the two married completely in love. But the wife of the Jade Emperor, the supreme deity of Taoism, forcibly separated the couple. Leaving the sad husband and wife on both sides of the Milky Way, looking at each other without being able to reach each other. His faithful love moved the magpies that every seventh day of the seventh month thousands of birds flew creating a bridge for the two lovers to meet at least that day.
Due to this beautiful legend, Qi Xi has become the day chosen by Chinese lovers to show their affection. That night, if it went clear and with the sky full of stars, people used to go out to take the cool with a stool.
They sat tasting a cup of tea and watching the bright Milky Way in an attempt to recognize the two stars called Shepherd and Fairy Seamstress. In some regions of China, people hid under clusters of fruit clusters, because according to legend, this way you can hear secretly the soft whispering between Niu Lang and Zhi Nü.
Qi Xi is also known in China as the Qi Qiao party or the Girls’ Day. According to the legend, Zhi Nü is a beautiful and skillful fairy. During that romantic night, the girls place seasonal fruits to make offerings and pray to Heaven under the clear moon so that the fairy seamstress gives them skills in making and especially ask for a happy marriage. In addition, in the past, needlework contests were held that night.
Throughout the province of Zhejiang, on Qi Xi day each family kills a rooster convinced that if the animal sings announcing the dawn, the pastor and his wife will separate.
Women today are almost no needlework, so some of the traditional customs of this party are disappearing. However, the legend of Qi Xi continues to circulate and people still consider it a romantic day for lovers. In 2006, the party was included by the State Council on the National Intangible Heritage list and was officially considered China’s Qixi Valentine’s Day.
