About Plaisir Cadeaux Et Fleurs

Hyacinth is a Spring flower and the reason we selected it for March ‘flower of the month’. The highly fragrant, bell-shaped flower can be traced back to ancient Greece. Hyacinth is a Spring marvel and represents new beginnings, just like Spring time. It also symbolises sincerity and constancy. Legend has it the origin of hyacinth can be traced back to a young Greek boy named Hyakinthos. As the story goes, two gods (Apollo and Zephyr) adored Hyakinthos equally and competed for his attention. One day, while Apollo was teaching Hyakinthos the art of throwing a discus, Zephyr, in a jealous rage, blew the discus back, killing Hyakinthos with a strike to the head. Apollo named the flower that grew from Hyakinthos’s blood Hyacinth.
