Since the early 1900... March 8th has been set aside to honor and recognize women for their achievements. International Women's Day recognizes the challenges, achievements and accomplishments of Women in all walks of life!It's also a day to Honor the special women in our lives... and to be mindful that all women are Important, Honored and Loved for all they add to our lives. Women's day allows us to  look into the future and provide total equality and support to the amazing potential of future generations of women.Every Women's Day has a Theme... set forth by the International Council of Women...This year, the Theme of International Women’s Day is "Inspiring Change" by calling for:

  • greater awareness of women’s equality

  • more women in senior leadership roles

  • equal recognition of women in the arts

  • growth of women-owned businesses

  • increased financial independence of women

  • more women in science, technology, engineering and math

  • fairer recognition of women in sport

Back in the early 1900... we began celebrating Women's Day with Flowers! The "Bread and Roses" Campaign... signified that Women should be paid equally to men... so they could provide "Bread" for their Family... and yet still  be Honored with "Roses" for the Love and Support they share!Everyone can join in on the celebration - by giving flowers to the Important and Amazing women in their lives!The flowers you decide to share can be simple or artistic! There's so many wonderful flowers you can share - many with their own special meanings.  Take the Protea King for example, this amazing flower’s symbolic meaning represents transformation, daring courage or resourcefulness – qualities that may remind you of a woman in your life?
