Flowers for the mothers in your life
Giving flowers on Mother ’ s Day is a time-honored tradition . If you ’ re looking to show your mom , your grandmother or the mother of your children that you care , here are some suggestions .
Cut flowers
Fresh bouquets are sure to please the ladies in your life . Offer them bundles of cut roses , gerberas , tulips , camellias , carnations , irises , lilies or birds of paradise . Select blooms in their favorite colors or fragrances , or let your florist make a custom arrangement .
Flowers for the garden
If the mother you ’ re celebrating has a green thumb , consider giving her a new plant for her garden . Pretty perennials like primroses and peonies or flowering shrubs like rhododendrons and lilacs are all good choices . Assess the landscaping of the yard to help you make the right choice . Alternatively , ask a professional at your local nursery for suggestions .
Flowering potted plants
There are many types of flowering plants that make great Mother ’ s Day gifts . You could get an African violet or orchid for her home , or a hanging basket or rose bush for her yard . Just be sure the person receiving your gift is interested in keeping the plant alive . When in doubt , look for easy-tocare-for plants like peace lilies and Christmas cacti .
Regardless of what type of flowers you buy for Mother ’ s Day , remember to include a card . The best part about your gift is sure to be that it came from you .
