The national flower of Egypt, the Egyptian lotus, is the only plant that is known to produce fruit and flowers at the same time. It is an aquatic flower and usually found in white or pink colors. Equally unique is the practice of giving flowers as gifts in Egypt. Flowers are traditionally accepted for wedding, funerals, or for giving to people who are ill. However, in Egypt it is not common practice to give flowers to a person unless you know them well and know that the gift would be appreciated and would not conflict with the recipient’s religious beliefs. Giving flowers is also accepted if you are presenting them to the host of a home or a party. When presenting flowers to someone, it is necessary to present them using the right hand or both hands, but never just by using the left hand. Also, it is common courtesy to present the flowers in a vase or with a ribbon tied around the stems to hold the flower arrangement together. If you purchase the arrangement from a florist, it will probably come assembled with a vase or decorative basket. The most common flowers given in Egypt are roses, cornflowers, irises, and chrysanthemums. Floral arrangements can be purchased from local or online florists and from retail stores. If you are unable to personally present your gift of flowers, local and online florists can arrange for delivery to many areas of Egypt. Giving flowers is a wonderful way to tell someone you care or to brighten their day.
