The blue iris means faith and hope, while white means purity (as most white flowers do). Blue irises look fantastic mixed with red and white roses.

Peonies

Peonies bloom right around Memorial Day, and that is why I have always associated them as being popular Memorial Day flowers. Additionally, peonies mean healing-what better way to heal your grief than by decorating a loved one's grave with these lovely flowers.

Red and White Roses

Red roses symbolize passionate love while white symbolize purity. It can be said that our fallen soldiers had a passionate and pure love for their country. Mix these with blue flowers or decorate with flags or ribbons to create a patriotic arrangement.]]> 2017-04-28 14:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mrios4306/v4hs893ki3v0/wish/168887577 mrios4306 https://padlet.com/mrios4306/v4hs893ki3v0/wish/168888055 While decking out head-to-toe in red, white and blue is commendable, feel free to take a more versatile approach to dressing and throw on a blue-and-white-striped panama hat or navy espadrilles.
