Shamrock – Ireland’s Lucky Charm

The national flower of Ireland isn’t actually a flower but a clover with three heart-shaped leaves. Yes, you might not find a bouquet of this one in flower shops in Ireland, but it sure is available in abundance across the country. As per the Druids, the plant displayed the foundation of our world. Ancient Celts, who once inhabited Ireland, believed that anything important that entered or emerged in this world was in groups of three. Just like the three dominions - sky, sea, and earth, three phases of the moon, and the three ages of man, this plant is considered a symbol of the Holy Trinity. St. Patrick used the Shamrock to propagate his teachings. Every year on St. Patrick’s Day, people use decorations with Shamrock’s symbol to commemorate the saint’s teachings.

However, in today’s world, it is considered a lucky charm but very few people know that the modern belief is a part of Irish lore. As per Celtic lore, Shamrock is capable of warding off evil and Druids revered it, which is why St. Patrick made it a part of his teachings to spread Christianity in and around Ireland. Another interesting fact about this clover is the fact that it is known to predict the weather. People say that its leaves turn towards the sky in case a storm is brewing. The national flower of Ireland may not be a flower but is just as interesting as one.

Popular Flowers In Ireland

While vendors from all across the globe send flowers to Ireland, some variants are particularly popular in the land of saints and scholars. Irish flowers are too beautiful to even be real and despite the chilly climate, they blossom across Ireland. Here are a few enchanting variants that are popular amongst the Irish people:

White Clover – This flower generally grows freely in the countryside and blooms between May and October. An interesting usage of White Clover is as a crop cover because its leaves attract butterflies and bees.

Wild Cherry – This is one of the most beautiful flowers in Ireland. The color is anywhere between white to pale pink and it blooms around the spring season, decorating landscapes across the country.

Buttercups – This Irish flower got its name from the tiny cup-shaped scales that consist of the flower’s nectar. Unlike many other Irish flowers, this one blooms during the warmer months of the year. You can easily find them at any florist in Ireland, especially during the summer season.

Poppies – Over 100 years ago, Poppies became the symbol of World War-I. They are worn to commemorate those, who sacrificed their lives during the war. The reason why they are considered a symbol of this war is that people observed them growing over battlefields in Europe. These controversial yet pretty flowers have papery red petals that surround their black center.

Bog Rosemary – Found in the center of the country, these wildflowers are pale pink and have small delicate structures. Native to Ireland, the Bog Rosemary usually blooms around May.

Primrose – An early spring flower, this one is said to be the key to heaven and is considered sacred. This fragrant flower is placed by the doorways in Irish households. It is believed that they attract fairies and urge them to protect the house and its residents from evil of all kinds.

Sheep’s Bit – Quite similar to Scottish Thistle, this purple flower blooms between May and September. The Sheep’s Bit plant has extremely thin leaves and the color of the flower is a blend of blue and purple.
