Flowers for Navruz: What to Gift for the Spring Holiday
Navruz and Flowers: A Spring Tradition
Navruz is the main spring holiday in Uzbekistan. March 21st marks a day of renewal, when nature awakens. And flowers are an essential part of this celebration.
Traditional Navruz Flowers
Tulips — the symbol of spring and Navruz. In Uzbekistan, tulips grow wild — they're our national flower. Red and yellow tulips are a classic for the holiday table.
Daffodils — among the first spring flowers. They symbolize renewal and purity. White daffodils with yellow centers make a perfect Navruz bouquet.
Hyacinths — fragrant spring flowers. Purple, pink, white — they fill the home with spring scent.
Blossoming almond branches — a traditional Navruz home decoration. A symbol of nature's awakening.
