Superstition of the Week - Red and White Flowers

RED & WHITE FLOWERS

There is a superstition that says you should avoid the combination of red and white flowers, especially when planning a wedding or bouquet for a hospital. They are thought to bring bad luck because their color symbolizes blood and bandages and are even thought to cause death. If your garden has red and white flowers together, you might be in danger of being injured somewhere in your house. Removing one or both of the flowers and throwing them over your shoulder is suppose to counter the bad luck.
