This Mother’s Day, see various flower-themed gifts that go beyond the traditional bouquet.
Since American activist Anna Jarvis founded Mother’s Day in 1908, the holiday has always been associated with flowers, with the white carnation serving as its emblem. When selecting the flower, Jarvis described white carnations as a symbol of “truth, purity, and broad-charity of mother love.” A flower that, as it fies, hugs its petals close to its heart, as mothers hug their children.
Through the years, other flowers have also become associated with the holiday, with roses, lilies, tulips, and orchids being among the most popular blooms. Aside from the traditional bouquet, here are floral-themed gift ideas for Mother’s Day.
