It’s the truth, mother’s are like saints. They carry a growing child inside their body for almost a year and they endure horrible labor pains to bring that child into the world. We might not be able to give them everything that they want but with mother's day flowers, we can definitely see them smile with happiness. Here a few tips on how to choose the best mother's day flowers which are guaranteed to make her smile with happiness and pride.
Popular mother's day flowers
Not much is known about the origin of Mothers day. One legend states that a devoted daughter started the day to commemorate her mother’s hard work and devotion. Her mother loved carnations and the daughter wore carnations all through the month to celebrate her mother. As a result, carnations are considered the best flower to gift on mother’s day. Pink and white carnations in a glass vase would be ideal. However, times have changed. Your mother might not like carnations or she might be allergic to them. You can choose from a whole range of traditional flowers like roses, chrysanthemums and tulips which are also ideal as mother's day flowers. Florists may recommend yellow or orange roses which indicate love and affection. Sunflowers, gerbera daisies, and tulips are great as they are a symbol of playfulness, cheerfulness and youthful joy. However, white flowers are not gifted for mother’s day as they indicate a deceased parent. For modern moms, the best flowers would be blooming flowering plants like orchids or even potted bulbs which your mother can water and grow slowly by herself. Orchids may seem expensive and delicate but they are not. They can be ordered online and they are a very resilient breed. Other popular flowers include orange blossoms, bluebells, forget-me-nots, asters, bluebells, tulips and magenta zinnias.

White and pink colored carnations are considered traditional but you will also be able to get white and pink colored orchids and roses which are just as good. Yellow carnations or tulips are great to signify appreciation and love while white daisies, Magnolias, lilies, jasmine and calla lilies are beautiful too. Modern mums do seem to prefer living flowers that can be carefully grown and cultivated as a reminder of their child’s love. As a result, we do suggest buy living flowering plants like lavender bushes, heather and lilac which are great as potted plants and bouquets too. If you ask for it, florists will be more than happy to send potted herbs like lavender, lilac, heather, lemongrass etc as bouquets to your home.
This year, take a beautiful mother's day flowers bouquet over to your mother and spend some time with her. Mother's love their children unconditionally and for them, nothing that their child does is wrong. Nothing we give them can compensate for all that hard work during pregnancy, labor and all those years bringing us up to be ideal citizens. Believe me, your gift does not have to be expensive but flowers and your precious time is more than enough for any mother.
