No matter what type of flower you choose to send your mom, she’ll definitely appreciate the gesture. However, some flowers are more popular, as well as more meaningful, than others when it comes to this holiday.

Here are some of the best types of flowers to send on Mother’s Day:

Roses

Roses are a classic choice as Mother’s Day flowers, and they come in a variety of colours. Red roses are a popular choice, as they symbolize love and appreciation. Pink roses are also a great option, representing gratitude and admiration. Yellow roses signify joy and happiness, making them perfect for this special occasion.

If you want to send your mom a bouquet of roses, include a mix of colours for a beautiful arrangement. You can also add some baby’s breath or other greenery for a fuller look.

Moreover, for a hassle-free experience, a Mothers Day flower service can come up with a stunning piece of custom bouquet, which can then be delivered right at your beloved mom’s doorstep.

Lilies

Lilies are another popular Mother’s Day flowers, and they come in many different colours. White lilies symbolize purity and virtue, making them a great choice for mothers who’ve always been there. Pink lilies, on the other hand, represent love and appreciation, while the red ones signify passion and respect.

If you’re looking for flowers that’ll easily stand out, try sending your mom a bouquet of stargazer lilies. These beautiful flowers are pink with purple streaks, and they’re sure to make a big impression.

Tulips

Tulips are always a great choice if you’re looking for tried and tested Mothers Day party ideas. But, apart from being effective scene stealers when used for decorative purposes, you can opt to give your mother a bouquet of hot pink tulip flowers to show your appreciation, or send a mix of tulips in different colours for a beautiful arrangement.

Tulips are a great choice for mothers who appreciate the simple things in life. Why not?  These flowers are elegant and graceful!

Carnations

Carnations are a budget-friendly option for Mother’s Day flowers. Pink carnations represent a mother’s love, red carnations symbolize admiration and respect, and white carnations signify purity and innocence.

If you’re looking for flowers that’ll last longer than a few days, try sending your mom potted carnations. These beautiful flowers can last up to two weeks when properly cared for, and they make for a great addition to any Mother’s Day celebration.

Sunflowers

If you’re sending flowers for Mother’s Day, but not in love with roses, lilies, or carnations, try sending your mother a bouquet of sunflowers. They’re associated with happiness and joy, making them the perfect choice for a mother who always makes you smile. 

When choosing sunflowers for Mother’s Day, look for those in full bloom. These flowers typically have large yellow petals with brown centres, and they make for a beautiful addition to any Mother’s Day bouquet.

Irises

Ideal for an eye-catching display that brightens up any room, a mixed bunch of irises is the perfect way to show your mom how much you care.

Irises come in many different colours. They’re also the birth flower for those born in February, making them a great choice for mothers with February birthdays. However, mothers of all birth months will, no doubt, appreciate the beauty of these flowers.

Orchids

Orchids are for trendy mothers–those who love fashion, unique jewellery, and everything that’s ‘in.’. Orchids come in various colours, but white orchids are a popular choice for mothers who appreciate elegance and sophistication. These beautiful flowers have long stems with delicate blooms. Stunning, aren’t they?

Peonies

Peonies are a great choice for mothers who appreciate the finer things in life. These beautiful flowers have large, ruffled petals, and they come in various colours as well. Pink peonies symbolize love and appreciation, while white peonies signify purity and innocence.

If you’re looking for flowers that’ll make a great impression, try sending your mom a bouquet of red peonies. These beautiful flowers are associated with good fortune and prosperity.
