Red, White, and Blue Blooms: Independence Day Flowers

Understanding Independence Day

Independence Day, celebrated every July 4th, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This pivotal document declared the American colonies' independence from British rule, marking the birth of the United States of America as a free and sovereign nation. Since then, the country has celebrated the Fourth of July with patriotic displays, parades, concerts, and gatherings that showcase its rich history and cultural diversity.

The Symbolism of Red, White, and Blue

The colors red, white, and blue are deeply rooted in American symbolism, representing the foundational principles and values of the nation:

• Red: symbolizes valor and courage, paying tribute to the bravery of those who have defended the country and its freedoms.

• White: signifies purity and innocence, reflecting the ideals of liberty, equality, and justice for all.

• Blue: represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice, embodying the resilience and determination required to uphold democratic principles.
