What is Yellow Flowers Day?

It’s not an age-old holiday but a cultural trend that mixes TV references (the series Floricienta), the symbolism of the color yellow (joy, friendship, and prosperity), and the celebration of the International Day of Peace. In Colombia, the date coincides with Love and Friendship Day (the third Saturday of September), which makes September 21, 2025, the perfect day to travel and give yellow flowers.

When is it celebrated in 2025?

The main celebration in 2025 will take place on September 21, a day many people use for meet-ups, gifts, and outdoor activities. If you’re planning to travel, buy your tickets early: demand increases and the best seats sell out fast.

What is the most popular yellow flower in Colombia?

The chrysanthemum is the most sought-after yellow flower thanks to its vibrant color and durability; it’s grown in regions like Cundinamarca, Antioquia, and Boyacá. Other popular choices are yellow daisies, tulips, and roses, each with its own emotional meaning.
