Your mother is special, and one way to show her how much you love her is by sending her a lovely display of mother's day flowers. Selecting freshly cut, aromatic, and beautiful flowers in all of her favorite blooms and colors will show her how much you appreciate the years of love and care she has given you. On mom's big day, remember to think beyond the bouquet. Honor her with a simple and pretty corsage when you take her out to lunch, or have the grandchildren gather a bunch of wildflowers to present to her with a card and a hug.
In most climates, mother's day means spring, so you have the good fortune of being able to choose a seasonal collection of flowers for your mother. If she has a favorite flower, make sure you include it in the bouquet. Such attention to detail will show her that you know her well, and appreciate her taste in flowers. If you are not sure what her favorite flower is, or she has a lot of favorites, use a little creativity and intuition to put together the perfect collection of blooms. Roses are popular for any occasion, and there are a variety of colors to choose from. While red roses are always popular and classic, consider adding a few stems of yellow, white, or pink roses to the vase to represent faith, trust, and friendship.
Perhaps you want something a little different. Choose a bright, happy spring flower such as a lilac or a lily. They are colorful and pleasing to the eye, and they will look good on mom's kitchen table, night stand, or desk. If your mother has an exotic side, consider something unusual such as an orchid or a bunch of tropical flowers. You have a lot of options when it comes to sizes, numbers, and colors, but do not get overwhelmed. Select a few pretty flowers that really stand out, and ask the florist for help if you need it.
Mother's day flowers do not have to be confined to a vase. Most fresh cut flowers are beautiful but short-lived. They will stay alive and fresh for about a week. If you want something that will stick around a little longer, consider a bonsai tree or a strawberry plant. These will give your mother plenty of hours of entertainment if she likes to garden and care for plants and living things.
The specific flowers and colors that you choose are important. It shows your mother that you are thoughtful, attentive, and loving. However, what will matter most to most mothers is that you took the time to make her day special. Whatever mother's day flowers you choose, your mother will likely love them. You might want to make flowers a theme for the holiday, especially if it is a sunny spring day that you will spend together. She might enjoy a stroll through the botanical gardens if you have one nearby, or even a visit to the park.
