Show Her You Care: 7 Flowers for Mother's Day That'll Make the Perfect Gift

Mother's Day in the US is just around the corner on Sunday, May 12.

Make sure you let the mother figure in your life know how special she is to you on this holiday, even if it is simply with a small gift and some loving words.

Of course, deciding on a mother's day gift can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be. Why not simply get her a bunch of beautiful flowers?

Here are 7 types of flowers for mother's day that'll be a huge hit with your mom.

1. Daffodils Brighten Up Your Life

Along with Mother's Day, spring is also coming around (thank goodness!) What better way to remind your mom of the new season than with a bunch of beautiful daffodils?

These flowers represent new beginnings and are synonymous with little lambs hopping around in fields and glimmers of sunshine thanks to their bright yellow color.

Is your mom an avid gardener? Perhaps the best mother's day flowers to get her are actually bulbs. You could buy her a few daffodil bulbs so she can care for them and enjoy the plants for years to come.

2. Roses are a Classic Choice

Not sure exactly what your mom's favorite flower is? Stick to the classics and get her a mother's day flower gift of gorgeous roses.

What's your mom's favorite color? Does she prefer deep red or pink? How about a yellow or orange?
Still not sure? It sounds like you need to sit down for a chat with your mom so you can nail her favorite flowers and colors for next year!

But, for this year, why not try instead a mixed bunch of flowers in a wide array of colors and help to brighten up her home?

Our Bright Spark Rose Bouquet will definitely grab attention and have your mom feeling the love she deserves! (Even if you did get her favorite color wrong.)

3. Tulips are Synonymous with Spring

Tulips come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. However, pink is a great color to choose for your mom as this means "affection".

If you're a little late to remembering mother's day, don't worry too much - white tulips are a symbol of an apology and your mom will appreciate flowers being late rather than never arriving!

These flowers are a great reminder that spring is just around the corner and can be paired with daffodils to create a beautiful seasonal bunch.

In fact, the tulip was once such a fashionable flower than in the Netherlands, "Tulip Mania" saw bulbs rise in price to extraordinarily high levels.

Thankfully, tulips are now very affordable and look beautiful in a large vase on your mom's table.

4. Peonies Help You Honor Your Mother

Although the peony is seen as an old-fashioned choice by some, by others this classic flower is adored.

If you're not sure how your mother will feel, create a bouquet with just a few peonies. The flowers create a big show with their bloom meaning you don't need as many to make a statement.

These flowers are a little more expensive than other choices in this list, but if you're trying to spoil your mom, they're a great option.

Peonies may be bought with the appearance of large balls. But, don't worry, after just a couple of days this ball will bloom and the beauty of the flower will be revealed.

5. Sunflowers Adore the Sun Like You Adore Your Mom

Let your mom know that she's the sunflower in your life with a bright bouquet of Van Gogh's favorite.

These flowers follow and dote on the sun, just like kids do with their mom... Get your mom a huge bunch of this stunning flower and add in a balloon to let her know she lifts you up!

A sunflower is sure to put a smile on anyone's face so make sure to check out our Smile Bouquet.

6. Buy a Succulent to Last a Lifetime

If you want to buy your mom a present which will last longer than a bunch of flowers, why not consider a succulent?

These plants are also easy to keep alive so if your mom doesn't have a green thumb, it's no problem.
They also look great in any home and will keep your mom feeling positive for weeks to come. In fact, plants have hundreds of benefits on our mental health!

7. Orchids Look Elegant Just Like Your Mom

These flowers are known for their elegant long stalks and stunning flowers. They are simple and classy. If your mom is too, this is the flower for her.

Better yet, these flowers are very easy to care for and look great in your home. They aren't as delicate as they look!

When shopping for an orchid for your mom, make sure to choose a plant which has many closed buds on its stem. This way it will last longer.

As with all plants, your orchid needs to be in the light. However, it shouldn't overheat and needs to be in temperatures around 70 and 80F.

An orchid also needs to have moisture to keep it alive but it should be allowed to dry out a little before watering. Make sure your mom knows this before you hand over the plant.

Flowers for Mother's Day Should Come with a Card

Remember that your flowers for mother's day should also arrive with a card and a personalized message so that your mom knows who they're from.

Even once the good flowers have withered, your mom will have your card to remember how much you love her.

Do you need to now choose a greeting card? Check out this beautiful option, here.
If you're still wondering what to get your mom as you've realized she doesn't like flowers, how about getting her some handmade chocolate instead?
