Mothers Day Flowers

Anna Jarvis, daughter of Anna Reeves Jarvis, was the power behind the official establishment of Mother's Day. As a youngster, she helped her mother look after her flower garden that comprised of a large number of white carnations. Incidentally they were her mother's favorite flowers. When Mrs. Jarvis died on May 5, 1905, Anna was determined to honor her. She had made it her life's mission to continue her mother's project, and establish a Mother's Day, to honor mothers living and dead. In 1907, she passed out 500 white carnations at her mother's church, one for each mother in the congregation. Though the governor of West Virginia declared the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day in 1910, it gained popularity in 1915.
People often give their mothers red carnations, the official Mother's Day flower. If their mothers are deceased they may bring white carnations to their graves. This is the peak sales time for florists across America. There are numerous unique arrangements, and a wide assortment of flowers for the occasion. It is obvious that flower preferences vary widely so stores offer a wide range of flowers.
Mothers Day flowers must be ordered early, so that they are delivered on time. A request to include a special note with a personal sentiment can be made. Food is arranged on a tray with a vase containing a single flower. It is a Spring Time celebration, and children can pick a tulip or a daffodil from the garden outside. Cards and small presents from the children are placed on the tray before it is presented to the mother in bed. Unique flowers for mother's day are available at local flower shops, florists and online stores. Potential buyers may indulge in comparison-shopping in order to find an affordable and feasible unique flowers deal.
