 hile all flowers are in general popular at Mothers Day, certain flowers seem to take prevalence over others. Especially popular flowers include the gerbera - especially in pink at Mothers Day. Highly popular and contemporary, the gerbera is also popular at other times of the year, thanks in part to the fact that it is available in a veritable array of colours, year round.
Freesia is always a firm favourite on Mothers Day - highly aromatic, colourful and charming. Florists up and down the country will be vying for the freshest and most colourful freesia from their local market or flower wholesaler this Mothering Weekend.
 Roses – especially in shades of pink, white or yellow – are another popular Mothers Day flower, certain to impress. Roses are a time tested success for Mothers Day, with origins dating back to the 17th century. |
 Lilies are another popular choice, perfect in a vase or bouquet by themselves, or in a bouquet with other blooms. With their subtle scent, they also go beautifully with freesia.
Tulips have become much more popular at Mothers Day in recent years. Understated and subtle, yet extremely chic and equally classy, they – like freesia – are available in a massive range of colours. Pink, white and purple are, however, the most popular choices for Mothers Day.
Carnations represent excellent value for money and are another popular Mothers Day flower choice. Often overlooked, the carnation is very much back in fashion thanks to new cultivars and exposure by so-called celebrity florists. The stunning pistachio green and deep burgundy varieties are especially popular, thanks in part perhaps, to their lovely subtle perfume. |
