Mother's Day Flowers

     Mother’s Day is the largest floral holiday of the year and only 3 1/2 weeks away. Every mother wants to feel appreciated every day of the year, but especially on Mother’s Day. Show her just how much she means to you by sending a beautiful bouquet to her!

  As a spring holiday, many of the traditionally spring flowers are big hits for Mother’s Day like tulips and hydrangeas. Sunflowers, roses, lilies, and carnations are other great choices.

A Brief History of Mother's Day

   Mother’s Day as we know it goes back only 108 years to 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday of May as Mother’s Day. Anna Jarvis, who was determined to create a day to honor her mother and all mothers, started the tradition after her own mother passed. Anna gave out carnations to her fellow congregation members in the early days of the holiday. The popularity grew in her own hometown and spread, leading Anna to write to congressmen urging them to make the day official.

    While Mother’s Day does have it’s roots in flowers through Anna’s carnations, motherhood goes hand-in-hand with the themes of spring: Life; Fertility; Beauty. But the most important reason we give flowers on Mother’s Day is because moms love flowers!

Best Flowers

    Tulips are arguably one of the most popular flowers in the world. In the spring, even more so! Each tulip color has its own meaning, which you can read more about here. They are a staple and many people cannot imagine their home or garden without a tulip this time of year. Luckily, we sell both the fresh-cut and bulb plant versions!

  One of the most popular Mother’s Day flowers, hydrangeas are classic and elegant. Hydrangeas come in a variety of colors; white, blue, green, pink, and purple. Whether you want an all hydrangea bouquet or one that features the hydrangea, we can make it. We will have both the plant and the cut flowers available.

    Sunflowers are the epitome of happiness and positivity. They reach for the sun, and even track the sun across the sky during the day. What better way to express love to your mother than sending pure happiness and sunshine.

    Roses are a flower for every love in your life. Each color has a different meaning, much like the tulips. Instead of the romantic red rose, many will opt for the pink or yellow rose as a way to show their gratitude and admiration.

    The lily is a beautifully fragrant option. The scent of spring will just fill the air, bringing fresh a sense of calm and relaxation to your mom.

     Early is always best. Especially if you have a specific flower or arrangement in mind. We can special order many things for next-day or two-day shipping into the store, like tropicals or other novelties that are not in our cooler daily. The spring staples and our typical year-round flower assortment, we will definitely have available.

Other Gifts
