Unique Romanian Flower Traditions
Romanians have some days marked for giving out flowers. It is good to know these traditions so you can send the right gift at the right time.
- Martisor (March 1st): This is a spring tradition. People give small gifts and flowers with red and white strings attached to them. It is a way to welcome the new season and wish for good luck. Snowdrops and tulips are the most common flowers for this day.
- Florii (Name Day of Flowers): The Sunday before Easter is called “Florii.” It is a Name Day party for anyone with a flower name, like Florin, Violeta, or Camelia. It is one of the biggest days of the year for sending flowers because so many people celebrate on the same day.
- International Women’s Day (March 8th): This is a very bi holiday in Romania. It is often celebrated more than Mother’s Day. People give flowers to all the women in their lives from mothers and grandmothers to sisters and coworkers. Red roses are a popular choice.
- The “Odd Number” Rule: This is a very important rule. When you send a bouquet for a happy occasion, you must make sure it has an odd number of stems (like, 7, 9, or 11). Bouquets with an even number of flowers are only used for funerals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Most Popular Flower to Send for Martisor (March 1st)?
Spring flowers are the best choice for Martisor. Snowdrops are the traditional symbol of the holiday, but tulips, hyacinths, and freesias are also very popular choices because they represent the start of spring.
Can I Send Flowers to a Hotel in Bucharest or Cluj?
Yes, we deliver to hotels often. You just need to provide the full name of the guest, the name of the hotel, and the room number if you have it. We will leave the flowers at the reception desk for them.
Is it True that I Should Never Send an Even Number of Flowers?
Yes, this is a very strict cultural rule in Romania. An even number of flowers is only for funerals. For a birthday, anniversary, or romantic gift, you should always choose a bouquet with an odd number of stems.
Do You Deliver on Sundays in Romania?
Most florist shops in Romania are closed on Sundays. We can sometimes arrange a delivery if it is for a major holiday like Mother’s Day, but for regular orders, it is safer to choose a Saturday or Monday delivery date.
What Happens If the Receiver is at Work When the Flowers Arrive?
If you provide a work address, we will deliver it during business hours. If you send to a home address and they are at work, the florist will call them on the phone number that you provided to see if they can leave the flowers with a neighbour or arrange a better time.
