Emeralds have been catching the eyes and hearts of people for centuries. Since Ancient Egypt, people have been fascinated by the vibrant gemstone with the deep green hue. The stone represents renewal and vitality, causing even Cleopatra to covet this unique treasure, famously draping her jewelry and clothing with the gemstone. The emerald is one of only four known precious gems – along with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, And although these jewels may not be the easiest gift to present to the May birthday honorees in your life, there is a way to celebrate the gem in a more practical – but no less beautiful – way.

The Emerald Delight vase is the ideal floral gift to pay homage to the birthstone of May. The emerald is a special and rare gem that inspires beauty, and these blooms are no different. The unique presentation of these green cymbidium orchids is far from an everyday gift and is sure to make an impact in any environment. No other color more perfectly embodies the spring season than green, and its associations with new life and renewal match that of the emerald.

Looking for a new and unique type of arrangement for the special person in your life? Green flowers are uncommon, rarely used in floral displays. In fact, green is achieved with leaves and stems, not the flowers themselves! But the expert florists at Blossom Flower Shops can make recommendations on some flowers that wear green just beautifully. Aside from the elegant orchid, spring classics like hydrangea, carnations, mums and the dramatic bells of Ireland all shine brightly in green; while an unconventional gift such as bamboo is not only emerald green but also represents the good luck in life that the gemstone does.
