HONOURING ANZAC DAY IN BRISBANE
As ANZAC Day approaches on April 25th, Brisbane prepares to honour the courage and sacrifice of our servicemen and women. At Stem Design, we believe in commemorating this solemn occasion with the natural beauty of native Australian flowers—creating arrangements that reflect the spirit of the land our ANZACs fought to protect. Here’s our blog about HONOURING ANZAC DAY IN BRISBANE.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NATIVE FLOWERS IN ANZAC DAY TRIBUTES
Incorporating native Australian flora into ANZAC Day arrangements serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and beauty of our country. These blooms not only pay homage to those who served, but also symbolize the enduring spirit of the nation.
- Waratah – With its bold red hue, the waratah symbolizes strength and courage, mirroring the bravery of our soldiers.
- Kangaroo Paw – Representing individuality and uniqueness, this flower reflects the diverse backgrounds of those who served.
- Wattle – As Australia’s national floral emblem, the wattle stands for unity and remembrance.
- Banksia – Known for its hardiness, the banksia embodies resilience and rebirth.
- Eucalyptus & Rosemary – Eucalyptus leaves are often used in wreaths, while rosemary is traditionally worn as a symbol of remembrance.
