Here is the Mother’s Day Flowers and Their Traditional Meanings

Carnations: The lovely carnation signifies purity, love, and faith. It also denotes beauty and charity. This is the most requested flower for Mother's Day and pink carnations have the most significance. According to legend, they first sprouted from the tears of Virgin Mary when she cried over her son Jesus's death. This has made the carnation the symbol of a mother's undying love for her children.

Roses: A more traditional mother may prefer roses. Roses are the most often received flower on Mother's Day after the carnation. The most traditional gifted rose is the Red rose. Red roses are associated with romantic love and the lighter red or the deep pink colors denote gratitude and appreciation.

Orchids: The lovely orchid represents love, beauty, and luxury as well as strength. It's also the Chinese symbol for lots of children. The ancient Greeks believed that when an unborn child's father ate large, new orchid tubers, the new baby would be a boy. If the unborn child's mother ate orchid tubers that were small, the new born baby would be a girl.

Tulips: These are the ideal choice for a mom who is light-hearted and easy going. They represent comfort and happiness as well as coziness. Tulips are a great choice for moms wanting to watch flowers blossom.
