The kinds of flowers used are most important when choosing mothers day gifts. Mothers day flowers are usually pink, red or white in color in order to represent the love that should be present on this special day. However, some prefer some other soft colors such as yellow or even multi-colored flowers. Floral arrangements in these color schemes can be made up of only one kind of flower, but can also be unusual mixtures which create a unique look. Cut flowers are also not the only option and it is also possible to give mothers day flowers that are in pots and which will not die after a couple of weeks. |
According to florists and retailers, the most popular flower used in mothers day arrangements is the white carnation. Pink is a close runner-up. However, there are many other flowers that are suitable for this occasion. For example, there are blooming red roses or red tulips. In some cases a variety of roses in different colors are put together to make a stunning bouquet. Other floral arrangements are supposed to be particularly fragrant and not just beautiful.
