Yellow Flower Day, celebrated on March 21, was created from a social media trend. It is also unofficially celebrated on September 21.
March 21 was already a celebration for floral lovers, as it is National Flower Day and the spring equinox, but with the help of social media, especially TikTok, the focus began shifting to yellow flowers.
How it started
A popular Argentine telenovela “Floricienta” is about a woman who wants to be given yellow flowers. It is emphasized that the meaning of being given specifically yellow flowers is that they represent hope and true love.
The show caused a song, “Flores Amarilla (Yellow Flowers)” that was played in the series to start trending as a background audio.
The videos initially took hold in Argentina, where the telenovela originates, but quickly spread to other cultures through multiple platforms.
The other holiday
March 20, the day before, is also International Happy Day. Many people associate the color yellow with the feeling of happiness, so celebrating the period with yellow flowers made sense.
What it means now
The trend seems to have a lasting effect for now, especially in the United States. Significant others tend to give each other yellow flowers to show their love on this day. Friends also exchange yellow flowers on March 21 to express their love for their friends.
Florists can confirm that when March 20 and March 21 come around, yellow flowers are bought up rapidly.
