What flowers should you give your mother on Mother's Day? Mother is the greatest woman in the world. Most people will buy carnations for our mothers on Mother's Day. However, customs vary from country to country, and the types of flowers sent may also vary. Next, let’s take a look at what flowers are best to give to mothers.

What flowers to give to mother on Mother's Day

Carnation

Carnation, which was first introduced from the West, is called the "Mother's Day flower" because the edges of its petals are serrated, just like the work of a knife or scissors, which reminds people of a loving mother using scissors to cut clothes for her children. Therefore, it was chosen as a symbol of motherhood. The flower language of carnation: passion, charm, tender love, true feelings, I love you, mother, warm blessings, love for you, kindness, selfless maternal love.

Hemerocallis

In addition to the most traditional carnation, daylily has always been known as the "mother flower" in ancient China. Daylily is also called forget-me-not, which aims to wish mothers to be away from worries and sorrows, to be happy physically and mentally, and to be healthy and long-lived. For example, Meng Jiao’s poem about a wandering son goes like this: “Daylily grows on the steps of the hall, and the wandering son travels to the ends of the earth; his loving mother stays by the door of the hall, but no daylily flowers are seen.” Therefore, it is also a good idea to give daylilies as a gift on Mother’s Day.

Jasmine

Internationally, Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May every year, while in Thailand it is August 12th every year. On Mother's Day, "Outstanding Mother Selection" will be held across the country, and then thousands of daughters will hold white jasmine flowers as "mother's flowers" and present them to their mothers.

Dianthus

In Japan, there is a custom of giving a red carnation on Mother's Day. In Japan, the flower language of carnation is noble character, boldness and positive female beauty, so giving it to mother is also a kind of appreciation for her. However, it is worth noting that those whose mothers have passed away wear white carnations, while those whose mothers are still alive wear red carnations.

Rose

Although roses are a symbol of love, it is also acceptable to send roses on Mother's Day. For example, the flower language of pink roses is happiness and joy. The flower language of eight pink roses is thank you for your care, support and encouragement. This can be used as a gift for your mother to express deep gratitude for her many years of careful nurturing.
