Photo by GardeniaDaffodilsDaffodils are the quintessential Spring flower. Springtime is constantly associated with the light yellow color of the daffodil, especially during Easter, meaning daffodils are the most spring-like flower. Daffodils aren’t only the best spring flower because of their color, but also because of when they primarily bloom. Daffodils’ peak season is early March to late April, and even early May. Also, Daffodils achieve peak beauty during optimum Spring weather, making it the representative flower of Spring.

Photo by The Spruce / Evgeniya VlasovaTulipsTulips are constantly used as the flower to represent spring, and rightfully so. The vibrant colors of a tulip beautifully show the brightness and new growth that come with Spring. Tulips generally should be planted in November before the ground freezes, and then they bloom starting in late March. How poetic is it that these beautiful flowers can survive a harsh and dreary winter, and then bloom in the spring? So, because of their growth cycle, tulips represent how Spring brings the renewal of life.

Photo by Thompson & MorganPrimrosePrimroses bring back so many springtime memories. The moment that I see these flowers, I’m reminded of the Home Depot by my house putting these flowers for sale outside. I see these flowers and I immediately begin to reminisce on stopping by to stare at the flowers while my dad shops for tools and wood for his latest home project. While some may argue these are not the top visually appealing flowers, primroses are still a great spring flower because of the nostalgia they bring with them.

Spring time also is known for these traits, due to the familial aspect of springtime holidays like Easter and Mother’s Day.

Photo by Getty ImagesBluebellsBluebell flowers happen to share their name with a popular ice cream brand, Bluebell. In my opinion, this shared name is fitting because for me, ice cream and spring time are synonymous. Because the weather finally starts to warm up once spring starts, people tend to spend a lot more time outside. For me, one of my favorite warmer weather activities is getting ice cream. So bluebell flowers are a great springtime flower because of the connotation of their name.
