The list of Anniversary Flowers was probably created and documented by florists as wedding anniversaries became a popular gift giving occasion. One of the earliest reference to this list is in the early 1960's.
This list associates flowers with each anniversary year up to the 15th and then ever 5th years up to the 50th. As some of the flowers listed are seasonal, they may not be available for some of the years, as a wedding anniversary also falls in a specific season.
Even so, it can be a lovely gesture to get the appropriate anniversary flowers for a specific anniversary, to go alongside a special gift.
