THE MIMOSA FLOWER
Do you know that the mimosa flower is a
Symbol for International Women's Day?
International Women's Day is celebrated
throughout the world every year on March
8th.
The mimosa flowers tradition started in
Italy in March of 1946. That year Rita
Montagnana and Teresa Mattei, two
activists fighting for equality of women,
came up with the idea of marking the UN
international women's day (8th of March)
with a symbolic gesture and started offering
branches of mimosa to other women, as a
gift and a sign of mutual respect and
support. They made mimosa flower the
symbol of the day and, since then, the
tradition took hold and the tradition is still
very much alive today.
There are many reasons why mimosa flower was chosen to mark this day.
It is practical, as this is one of the rare plants that blooms in full bloom in the
winter, so it’s a flower instinctively associated with this time of the year.
~
It's more symbolic, mimosa is a spontaneous plant, one that naturally
grows and flourishes in Italy, exactly what the women movement was working
to achieve for the women of the world: making the world a place where women
can also prosper, without having to fight for it.
Mimosa looks fragile, with its little yellow puffs, but is actually a very
strong plant, able to resist adverse conditions. A trait that many would say is
typical of women too.
