Mother's Day flowers: carnations, blush roses, and what lasts

About Mother's Day

Mother's Day is marked on the second Sunday of May. The carnation is the flower of mothers; blush roses, sunflowers and lilies are equally fitting and hold up well. Order a few days ahead — carnations come from Đà Lạt and are not plentiful in early May.

Who are the Mother's Day flowers for?

For your mother

Carnations, blush roses, sunflowers — sturdy petals, restrained tones, gratitude rather than romance.

For a mother-in-law

A refined bouquet — blush roses, lilies, carnations — correct and unfussy.

For a grandmother

Carnations and scented lilies: elegant, suited to an older recipient, and they keep on the table.
