Easter is a season of flowers. Because it is positioned in Spring it corresponds with the flower blooming. It also corresponds with the greening and otherwise regrowth associated with Spring. The Easter theme for Christians is Resurrection and the renewal that Spring brings fits right in.
Many people visit the graves of their loved ones near Easter and place flowers on the graves. The ability to do this is sometimes limited by the Cemetery rules. This cemetery allows putting cut flowers out. I do not know any of the families involved but one thing that is obvious is that there is love involved.
Many of the flowers are not only beautiful, but they are costly. For some people the cost is insignificant. For other people it may be too much expense. The economy certainly has hit many very hard. So what does one do when one can't afford the expense of flowers?
Spring is great, because everything is blooming. Some Forsythia does just fine!
