The Best Flowers for Mother's Day
Sending flowers on Mother’s Day is even better when the flowers you pick are as meaningful as they are magnificent. That’s why florists don’t just choose the freshest blooms available, they also design each bouquet according to what you need to say, so it does your thoughts and emotions justice.
This magic comes from knowing a thing or two about floriography, aka the language of flowers. Here our florists have given us a few pointers on how every bloom can help tell your story (remember you can always request a certain bloom in your Interflora bouquet if you especially love the meaning).
Carnations say: ‘I’m so lucky to have a mum like you’
Roses
Roses = love? Yes, but they also say a lot of other things depending on their colour. Yellow roses mean friendship and joy, and pink roses signify admiration, gratitude and appreciation (and boy do mums deserve that!) Peach roses mean you’re missing someone – an ideal choice to show your mum you’re thinking of her.
Yellow roses say: ‘You’ll always be my best friend’
Pink roses say: ‘Thanks for everything you do’
Peach roses say: ‘Missing you loads – can’t wait to see you soon!’
Sunflowers say: ‘I’ll always be there for you, just like you’re there for me’
Gerberas say: ‘The time spent with you is always the best time!’
Tulips say: ‘I love you so much’
Violets say: ‘You mean everything to me, Mum’
Orchids say: ‘I wouldn’t be the person I am without you’
Lilies
Like roses, lilies can say many things – from the calla lily which represents beauty and magnificence to the tiger lily which symbolises strength and confidence. But whichever lily you choose, all lilies signify devotion in one form or another, making them a fool-proof flower for Mother’s Day (and they smell lovely too).
Lilies say: ‘Whenever you need me, I’ll be here’
Freesias say: ‘I’m always thinking of you’
Alstroemerias say: ‘Our friendship is special’
The language of flowers is just one way to send a message with gorgeous blooms. We know sometimes it might just be a feeling, a memory or a sentiment you want to communicateyou’re not sure how to express it, our florists can help. They’ll focus on all the little details to make sure your blooms say everything you need them to, and more.
