The capital city of Lithuania is Vilnius with the national flower being the common rue. This small yellow flower is not to be mistaken as common, as it has a long and vibrant history. Used by Pliny the Elder for medicinal purposes and by Ophelia in Hamlet, this flower has been referred to as the “herb of grace.” The small flower is also traditionally used in weddings to symbolize the purity of the bride. Flowers are also used in several festivals and celebrations, including the Lithuanian summer solstice. During the festival, wreaths are made from yellow and white linden flowers which symbolize the sun. A candle is lit and placed in the wreath to help guide and welcome the sun home. Orange day lilies are also commonly used in the celebration. Several customs also involve flowers, including never entering into someone’s home without a floral present. Today, some of the popular flowers include roses, sunflowers, irises, and brightly colored gerberas, while the pink rose is generally reserved for weddings and Valentine’s Day. Small gardens are common around homes, and one floral custom that is always important to remember is that the number of flower stems must always be an even number. This is especially true during funerals and for graveside markers.
