Carnations
The carnation is actually the original Mother’s Day flower. Carnations were delivered to all of the mothers at the very first celebration hosted by Anna Jarvis. She delivered single white carnations to mothers as a symbol of purity and a mother’s love. She chose the carnation as the staple flower of this holiday because it was her mother’s favorite flower.
Tulips
Whether potted or in a bouquet, tulips are a favorite because you can find them in almost any color and they last for a long time. Tulips are associated with new life, spring and charity.
Roses
Roses are also traditionally associated with motherhood and are known as the flower of love. This beautiful flower was sacred to the Greek goddess Isis, seen as the ideal mother.
