Celebrate Chinese Valentine`s Day 2025 with Flowers from Lillypad Melbourne
In Chinese culture, love is celebrated not just once, but twice a year. In 2025, Chinese Valentine`s Day falls on Tuesday, August 5, while the modern celebration known as Chinese Valentine`s 520 takes place on May 20. Both dates are cherished opportunities to express heartfelt emotion and appreciation - often with the timeless gift of flowers.
At Lillypad Flowers, your trusted Interflora florist in Melbourne, we help you say - I love you - with handcrafted arrangements, same-day delivery, and personalised service. Whether you`re honouring tradition or embracing the modern expression of love, our Chinese Valentine`s flowers are designed to make your gesture unforgettable.

What is Chinese Valentine`s Day?
Chinese Valentine`s Day, also known as the Qixi Festival, is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. In 2025, this falls on Friday August 29.
This day commemorates the ancient tale of the weaver girl Zhinu and the cowherd Niulang, whose forbidden love touched the heavens. Once a year, on Qixi, they are allowed to reunite - creating a story that continues to inspire lovers across generations.
Modern couples mark the occasion with romantic dates, handwritten notes, and, most memorably, meaningful floral gifts.
What is Chinese Valentine`s 520?
While Qixi honours a legend, Chinese Valentine`s 520 is a modern creation. Celebrated on May 20, the numbers 520 sound like "I love you" in Mandarin. This phonetic pun gave rise to a new romantic holiday, especially popular among younger generations.
Today, 520 is a day to send flowers, express affection, and surprise someone special with thoughtful gifts and same-day flower deliveries. In 2025, May 20 falls on a Tuesday - a perfect mid-week moment for a romantic surprise.
Say It With Flowers: The Language of Love
Flowers are a powerful way to express love and emotion. Each bloom carries its own message, making them especially meaningful for Chinese Valentine`s Day and 520.
At Lillypad Flowers Melbourne, we curate arrangements that combine beauty, symbolism, and personal touch - delivered same-day across Melbourne.
Red Roses - Passion and Devotion
A timeless symbol of love, red roses are the number one choice for both Qixi and 520. Choose 12 for classic romance, or 33 to say - I love you forever.
Lilies - Harmony and Purity
Lilies represent long-lasting affection and peace in relationships. Their soft scent and elegant shape make them ideal for mature relationships or new beginnings.
Peonies - Love and Prosperity
Full-bodied and luxurious, peonies symbolise honour, beauty, and prosperity in Chinese culture. A perfect choice for grand gestures or milestone anniversaries.
