Explore the Meaning Behind Mother's Day Flowers

Mothers are always there for support no matter a person's age or location in the world. We appreciate everything mothers do but often forget to express gratitude. Flowers for Mother's Day are a common thank-you gift for mothers. Different flowers have symbolic meanings though. With Mother's Day coming up on May 12th, here are 6 popular flower choices for Mother's Day and what they represent:

Carnations

Carnations, which come in a variety of colors with different meanings are the traditional and one of the best options for Mother's Day flower arrangements. A pink carnation symbolizes a mother's pure love. It represents a mother's undying love for her children that is as vibrant and long-lasting as the flower's lively pink color. A red carnation signifies admiration. Giving a red carnation to your mum on Mother's Day is a great way to show her how much you appreciate all she does. A white carnation indicates luck and good fortune. You can gift a white carnation to wish mom luck or to represent how fortunate you feel to have her in your life.

Orchids

Next, orchids carry the meanings of luxury, thoughtfulness, and love. The intricate and exotic appearance of orchids makes them feel special and luxurious. Gifting an orchid literally communicates how much thought you put into choosing the perfect flower for mom. The intensity of colors in some orchid varieties also expresses deep feelings of love for the mother. So get an orchid from a local Coshocton florist - it will remind Mum of your thoughtful love for her long after Mother's Day has passed.
