1914 - 2014...
2014 will mark the centenary of the start of World War I. For four years, starting in 2014, the nations involved in this conflict will be commemorating the event at sites of remembrance. To help you mark this centenary, EUROFLOR offers the possibility to decorate villages, roadsides and areas surrounding the various monuments associated with the Great War, using a range made up of the flowers which best symbolise the millions of soldiers who died at war.
The poppy in Great Britain and the Commonwealth countries, the red of the poppy symbolises the blood spilled during battle.
The cornflower originally referred to young French soldiers arriving on the battlefield and wearing new, grey-blue uniforms; thereafter, the cornflower symbolised those who died for France.
