It's National Bring Flowers to Someone Day today, May 15. This photo from the Museum and Archives of Vernon shows a man presenting a woman with a nice bouquet (no names with the picture) in 1945. May you repeat the gesture to someone special in your life, today, or any day for no particular reason.

There doesn't have to be a reason, or a particular date or anniversary, to give someone special or important the gift of flowers.

Today, Thursday, May 15, is National Bring Flowers to Someone Day, according to daysoftheyear.com

"Flowers have always been known to be a popular way of showing appreciation, expressing love, remembering a loved one, or apologizing to someone you treasure dearly," said the website.

Bring Flowers to Someone Day nevertheless is about giving someone flowers for any reason. Whether it’s to kindle an old spark, apologize for something you did, or celebrate a life event such as a graduation or anniversary, giving flowers can be a great way to express emotion and send messages to the people you care about.

If you have no one in mind, purchase a bouquet for yourself to bring liveliness back into your home and do some self-care.

Flowers all have their own significant meaning and depending on the one you choose, you can convey anything you want to. On this day, people take the time to purchase flowers at a local flower shop or send flower bouquets by purchasing them online.

History of Bring Flowers to Someone Day

Flowers have always had meaning, but what started it? In Ancient Greece, Rome and China, giving someone flowers was a way to communicate the floriography of flowers, also known as the language of flowers.

Or, if flowers aren't your bloom, it's also National Chocolate Chip Day
