If calm and soothing are traits that describe your mother, then the bluebell flower is a good choice for her arrangement. Bluebell flowers bloom in April and May of each year-just in time for Mother’s Day. Their soft blue colour and pretty shape have come to represent humility and constancy

If your mother prefers plants over fresh-cut bouquets, the long lasting camellia plant is a wonderful option. Camellia plants are native to China, Japan, and South East Asia. They come in a variety of rich and vivid colours and give off a light, delicate fragrance. Camellias are believed to represent longevity and gratitude; making them a perfect way to say thank you to your mom on Mother’s Day.

4. Carnations

Mother’s Day initially became a national holiday due to the campaigning of a woman named Anna Jarvis. During her tireless efforts, Anna sent 500 white carnations to her local church for the mothers in attendance, and the tradition was born. Carnations have since come to signify purity, faith, love, beauty and charity; all traits thought to represent the virtues of motherhood.

Lilies are an Asian emblem for mothers. The lily is famous for its beautiful appearance and symbolic association with motherhood and Mother’s Day. Because they come in a variety of bright colours, including vivid oranges and yellows, you can find a lily that’s perfectly suited to your own mother at just about any florist shop.

If your mother is very traditional, roses might be the best option for her. While red roses are traditionally associated with romantic love, a lighter red or deep pink colour denotes gratitude and appreciation. In addition, yellow roses are believed to represent a caring nature, while white roses are associated with purity and brightness.

If your mom is a light-hearted, easy-going person, the tulip flower definitely belongs in her bouquet. With a fresh, happy looking appearance, no flower says spring quite like tulips. They have come to represent comfort, coziness and above all happiness, making them an ideal gift for Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day flowers don’t end with roses. Another elegant choice is the lilac. Lilacs tend to symbolise new love (making them a popular choice at weddings) but they also signify love between mother and child, which make these beautiful flowers a special choice on Mother’s Day.
