In fact, giving a bouquet of flowers is considered as the most elegant way of showing your admiration towards your mom.
Traditionally, Mother's Day has been associated with carnations. In fact, the association between Mother's Day and carnations goes a long way. As per a Christian legend, carnation is the plant that sprung up when Jesus Christ's mother - Mother Mary shed tears of distress, seeing her son enduring sufferings. The tradition of giving flower first originated in the US, where, in 1906, Anna Jarvis started wearing of her mother's favorite flower, a white carnation. Since then, carnation is regarded as the traditional flower for Mother's Day.
On the occasion of Mother's Day you can opt for pink carnations or red carnations, both of which are given to mothers as an expression of love. On the other hand, white carnations are worn in respect for those mothers who are no longer in this world. These, bright and cheerful, flowers will definitely be a boost to the spirit of motherhood. Be a part of the tradition and gift your with a lovely bouquet of red or pink carnation flowers. Let your mom know how much you love her!
