White Flowers
Dedicated to the beauty of white flowers, which have inspired artists and
poets over the centuries. White flowers are often used for the
bridal bouquet at a white wedding.
White Roses
Although
pink or red are the most common colors for roses, there are also a large
number of white rose species and cultivars. Probably the most famous
white rose cultivar is 'Iceberg', which is widely grown because of its long
and prolific flowering season. Historically, the white rose has been
adopted as a symbol by a number of groups (see White
Rose - Symbolism).

Beautiful bouquets of fresh white roses make stunning gifts, or just spoil

Fresh White Flowers
A bouquet of white flowers looks fresh, and totally stunning. White flowers also
complement other flower colors in a bouquet, making them seem more colorful and
lively.
White Daisies
It is thought that the name "daisy" is a corruption of
"day's eye", because the whole head of these charming flowers closes at
night and opens in the morning. The earliest daisies were white,
although cultivars have been developed in many colors.
White Jonquils
White
Jonquils are one of the earlier spring flowers. They belong to the Narcissi
(plural of Narcissus), a group of hardy spring-flowering bulbs, including the
daffodil. This botanic genus is named after the character Narcissus
from Greek mythology. The most common colors of Narcissi are white and
yellow.
White Lilies
A
variety of white flowers referred to as 'lilies' bloom throughout the
warmer seasons, many of them quite unrelated to the true lily plants
The Easter Lily
Because
the traditional Easter color is white, a white lily has long been considered
to be the Easter flower. The Easter Lily, Lilium Longiflorum, is a Japanese
white lily introduced into America in the 19th Century, and now grown
commercially in America for the Easter season. The beautiful
trumpet-shaped white flowers symbolize the spiritual essence of Easter
- purity, virtue, innocence, hope and life.
White Blossom
Trees
Many beautiful white spring flowers bloom at Easter time in the Northern Hemisphere, including the white
cherry blossom, which has inspired so many poets.

Wedding
A white wedding is a traditional wedding. This

traditional weddings.
