Easter and Spring
Easter: A Celebration of Renewal and Rebirth
Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is observed on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, which usually falls between March 22 and April 25. For Christians, Easter is the most important holiday of the year, as it commemorates the event that forms the basis of their faith.
But Easter is more than just a religious holiday. It is also a celebration of spring and renewal. In many cultures, eggs and bunnies are associated with Easter, representing new life and fertility. These symbols have their roots in pagan traditions that predate Christianity, but they have been incorporated into the Christian celebration of Easter over time.
One of the most recognizable symbols of Easter is the egg. Eggs have been associated with fertility and rebirth since ancient times, and many cultures have incorporated them into their springtime celebrations. In Christianity, eggs represent the empty tomb of Jesus after his resurrection. They are often dyed or decorated and given as gifts or used in Easter egg hunts.
Another symbol of Easter is the bunny or rabbit. In many cultures, these animals represent fertility and new life, as they are known for their ability to reproduce quickly. In Christianity, the bunny is often associated with the resurrection of Jesus, as it is believed to emerge from its underground burrow just as Jesus emerged from his tomb.
Of course, no Easter celebration would be complete without flowers! Tulips and lilies are two popular choices, with lilies symbolizing purity, hope, and new beginnings, while tulips represent perfect love. At ATX Flowers, we love creating beautiful Easter floral arrangements that incorporate these lovely blooms, as well as other spring mix flowers. Our florists are passionate about their craft and take great care to ensure that each arrangement is perfect for the occasion.
The history of Easter goes back thousands of years, and its traditions have evolved over time. Today, Easter is celebrated in many different ways around the world, with customs and traditions that vary from region to region. In some places, the holiday is a solemn religious observance, while in others it is a joyous celebration of spring and new beginnings.
Whether you observe Easter for religious or cultural reasons, it is a time to reflect on the themes of renewal and rebirth that are central to this holiday. It is a time to appreciate the beauty of spring, to spend time with loved ones, and to celebrate the miracle of life that surrounds us. So this Easter, let's come together and celebrate this special occasion with beautiful flowers from ATX Flowers.

Impress Your Valentine With a Little Botany Knowledge
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.

Why a Local Flower Shop is Best
What can go wrong when you order flowers online from a big-name third party?
Suppose you order an arrangement that should have eight roses, five—six stargazer lilies, eight—twelve carnations and many filler chrysanthemums. But instead, your recipient gets a crappy bouquet with three roses, zero lillies, eight carnations, and only some chrysanthemums, three of which were broken off at the stem.
Unfortunately, this happens to many customers. And it happens because of third-party online floral ordering services like FTD, Just Flowers, 1-800 Flowers, and Teleflorist.
How Do FTD, Just Flowers, 1-800 Flowers, and Teleflorist Work?
First, these websites are not connected to their own store that services customers. All work is done by local florists, who must pay an annual member fee of $1800—$3500!
When a local flower shop gets the order it receives only 90%—70% of the customer's payment. When combined with the annual fee, this leaves little money left to buy and arrange the flowers.
Example:
- Customer orders a $100 arrangement from a third-party ordering service.
- Of the payment, 10%—20% is fees, reducing product payment to $80.
- The local shop receives this, then keeps a profit of 10%—20%, leaving about $72.
- Then, about 5%—10% is lost due to the annual member fee, leaving about $60.
- Now, the local florist still might subtract $10—$15 for third-party delivery, leaving about $50.
- Employees must be paid also, leaving only about $30.
In the end, a floral designer can only add about $30 worth of flowers for this $100 order (about a third of which would belong the third-party floral service in the above example).
With only one-third the money left to use, a local flower shop has no choice but to cut corners, or they lose money by working with a third-party ordering service.
So, please get a better arrangement—support local flower shops!
