To Mom, With Love – Mother’s Day Flowers

Everyone knows that flowers and Mother's Day just seem to go together. In fact, the flowers that will be given to mothers, stepmothers, and grandmothers over this holiday represent 25% of the flowers that will be exchanged all year! This means that not only do we adore our Moms - but we also love sending them gorgeous floral arrangements on Mother's Day. Of course, this tradition is not a new one. We have evidence that flowers were used to honor mothers as far back as ancient Greece and Rome. In America, Mother's Day was first officially celebrated in 1908, and with 85 million mothers in the United States today, it is clear that the holiday is here to stay. Which Mother's Day flowers are right to send to your mother this May 14? That's up to you!  Read More about To Mom, With Love – Mother’s Day Flowers »
