The guides are reviewed before each date. If a tradition from your country is missing, tell us about it.

Each guide explains where the date comes from (a song, a legend, a law or a hashtag), in which countries it is celebrated, which flowers are given and which ones are a good alternative if you can’t find the typical ones. At the bottom of each guide are the sources consulted: at least two media outlets from different countries for each trend.
