Say It With Flowers This Mother’s Day; The Significance Of Carnations

Carnations have been associated with mother’s day ever since its inception. Actually, it is not only the specific flower, but the fact of your having thought of your mother that is more important to her.
Mother’s day is an ideal time to pay tribute to your mother, the most influential person in your life. A family’s whole life revolves around the mother as she is the one who takes care of everything, satisfying the whims and fancy of each member. Though the best way to celebrate this day is to lavish her with love and affection, it would also be thoughtful to gift her something special like flowers to express your gratitude.

Mother’s day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May and this year it falls on May 10th. Dedicate this day to your mother and to all the special mothers in your life like your grandmothers and for a change, your mother in law too. Send them some beautiful flowers this Mother’s day in recognition for all their sacrifices and watch a smile spread across their face.

The tradition of gifting flowers to one’s mother started when young Anna Jarvis who is credited to be the founder of Mother’s day gifted five hundred white carnations, her late mother’s favorite flower, to the church service. Anna believed that a carnation typifies the virtues of motherhood like purity, faithfulness, love, charity and beauty. Since then, this attractive flower has become symbolic of Mother’s day and is gifted worldwide.

Today, many different floral bouquets of roses, irises, tulips, daffodils or even mixed arrangements are available at the local florist. For convenience, they can even be purchased and sent online for mothers who stay far away.

Always keep in mind your mother’s preferences while gifting a bouquet, for each flower expresses a sentiment, a thought or a deep profound emotion without having the need to utter a single word. Sometimes it is not just the beautiful flowers that would make her happy but the fact that you went out of your busy schedule to buy something for her.
