A symbol of the harvest, the cornucopia makes a perfect Thanksgiving centerpiece. If your loved ones will be far away this holiday, send a horn of plenty, overflowing with fall flowers and rustic fruits and vegetables to express your bountiful love.
Although it’s a traditional symbol of Thanksgiving, the cornucopia actually has its origins in Greek mythology. The Greek god Zeus was said to have broken off a horn from the goat Amalthea. As recompense, Zeus promised Amalthea that her horn would always overflow with nourishment from the harvest.
Today, cornucopias are usually made from horn-shaped wicker baskets and filled with fresh flowers, fruits, pumpkins, and even gourds. They make great Thanksgiving centerpieces or home décor, and are a wonderful take on the traditional gift basket. Your local florist can hand-arrange and deliver the perfect festive Thanksgiving cornucopia to your turkey dinner.
You simply can’t go wrong with a lush, lovely fall floral cornucopia from your Teleflora florist. Same-day delivery available.
