Erfurt's bouquet surprised: This is how the Lonely Bouquet Day is celebrated!

A colorful bouquet of flowers that was discovered on a tree in the Brühler garden caused a sensation last week. An Erfurter took the little bouquet with a loving note with the message "Take me!" hung. The note on the piece of paper came from the Flowereffects team and encouraged to either take the bouquet with them or pass them on to other people. The campaign aims to promote joy and humanity and not to pursue a commercial purpose, such as thueringeningen24.de reports.

The finder of the bouquet passed it on within his family and shared his beautiful experience on Facebook. These reactions were consistently positive and witness to the great interest in the idea of the Lonely Bouquet Day, which has been launched by Belgian Emily Avenson since 2013. Since then this special day has been celebrated on the last Sunday in June - for the 13th time, on June 29, 2025.

The Lonely Bouquet Day: an international phenomenon

What started in Belgium over a decade ago has developed into an international event. In Germany, many people actively participate by placing small bouquets in public places such as park benches or bus stops. Each bouquet bears a note that invites you to take it with you. The idea behind it is simple: spread joy and surprise people without expecting a consideration, according to the action, such as presseportal.de explained.

This year an additional incentive was created: Fleurop offers a DIY set that contains everything you need for your own lonely bouquet. The set includes fresh cut flowers, cups and plug -in foam. Fleurop, a well -known company based in Berlin, supplies over 25 million flower arrangements annually and works with around 50,000 partner florists in 150 countries.

The joy of the florists

Especially florists like Manuela, who have been involved in the Lonely Bouquet Day for nine years, observe the reactions of the finders with a special pleasure. In recent years, she has distributed between 20 and 30 bouquets, but had to reduce the number this year because of her new role as a mother. The hustle and bustle on the Lonely Bouquet Day has also conquered her heart and creates an atmosphere of connection in the community.

For everyone who wants to share joy, there is a way to share their experiences: on social media you can post pictures and stories on the bouquet on the hashtag #lonelybouquetday. So the community of flower lovers and the knacks, which give great joy with a small gesture.

Overall, the Lonely Bouquet Day impressively shows how floral gestures of charity can still find a place in our modern world. You can find more information about the tradition and how to take part in fleurop.de.
