Flowers Convey Heartfelt Thanks on Mother's Day

She was your first connection to this world. She was your nurturer, caregiver, first teacher. She kissed your boo-boos and dried your tears. She was your nurse, your cook, your best friend. As you grew older, she was your counselor, your chauffeur, sometimes antagonist, but always there for you. Whether she carried you under her heart for nine months or in her heart, there's no one like her...Mom.

From the moment we're born, moms give of themselves to give us what we need--and they never stop. They are the epitome of selflessness, unconditional love and acceptance. That's why Mother's Day is the most observed holiday of the year. Even more than Christmas, people take the opportunity on Mother's Day to express their love and gratitude to Mom for all that she does and all that she is.

Mother's Day is Sunday, May 9, 2010, and what better time to send a stunning flower arrangement or gourmet gift basket to your mom? Mother's Day flowers always make a huge statement and express love and care. Carnations are generally associated with Mother's Day. Why carnations? Julia Ward Howe and her daughter, Anna Jarvis, made it their life's mission to see that mothers everywhere were recognized and appreciated. It's a Mother's Day fact that white carnations were Julia Ward Howe's favorite flower, so her daughter made the white carnation the official flower of Mother's Day. When mixed with roses, orchids, daisies and other Spring flowers, they are symbols of strong women who fought to honor mothers and motherhood in the late 1800's.

Gourmet gift baskets are another great gift for moms. They can be anything you can imagine, depending on what your mom likes. Chocolate, gardening, gourmet cooking, shopping, the outdoors, theatre--whatever her interests, your local florist can help design a basket that uniquely suits your mom. Of course, a traditional carnation corsage she can proudly wear to church or to brunch is always a welcome gift--and a sweet way to say "thank you" for kissing all those boo-boos.
