1-800-Flowers.com has named the orchid and the Calathea Rattlesnake as its 2023 Flower and Plant of the Year, respectively.
“Our 2023 flower and plant of the year were chosen to inspire our customers with meaningful expressions as they seek to invigorate their home environment, or share a thoughtful gift with loved ones,” said Alfred Palomares, vice president of merchandising, 1-800-Flowers.com. “The orchid, with its elegant petals, symbolizes unity and love, while the Calathea Rattlesnake, with its distinctive leaves, breathes new life into our spaces and encourages all of us to embrace a fresh start.”
These selections could ultimately influence the permanent botanical category of home décor, which according to Home Accents Today‘s recent Universe Report generated an estimated $2.56 billion in sales in 2022.
