Lilies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s quite the story behind the meaning of lilies, so prepare to regale your mum with this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greek myth<\/a> has it that Zeus, the king of the gods, cheated on his goddess wife, Hera, with a mortal princess named Alceme. He fathered Alceme\u2019s son, the famous Hercules, and asked Hera if the baby could feed on her heavenly milk. Understandably (!), Hera refused, so Zeus drugged her and allowed Hercules to suckle. Hera awoke, flung the newborn away, and sprayed milk across the sky. Most of it formed the Milky Way, but some droplets fell to Earth and blossomed into white lilies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This crazy tale made the lily a symbol of motherhood, making it the ideal choice for Mother\u2019s Day. Many of our bouquets feature lilies, be they pink<\/a>, white<\/a>, orange<\/a> or rainbow<\/a>, so if Mum loves this fragrant flower, you\u2019re in the right place!

Chrysanthemums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re called \u2018mums\u2019 for short, need we say more? Chrysanthemums have long been a Mother\u2019s Day go-to for us Brits, with the pink variety used by the Victorians to convey well wishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But over in their native Japan, yellow mums represent the sun and the light, with the annual Festival of Happiness honouring this \u2018golden flower\u2019. So if Mum puts a smile on your face (most of the time, anyway!), you know what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tulips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mother\u2019s Day couldn\u2019t fall at a better time \u2013 spring is in the air<\/a> and there\u2019s a plethora of colourful seasonal blooms<\/a> available. Tulips are one such March jewel, and they stand for all kinds of love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 19th century language of flowers, they meant \u2018There\u2019s sunshine in your smile\u2019. How cute is that? Let Mum know she makes life jollier with our Springtime Tulips or our fabulously fragrant Shades of Spring.

Iris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Honour your matriarch with the iris, meaning wisdom and royalty. Its name comes from the Greek for \u2018rainbow\u2019 \u2013 in Greek mythology<\/a>, Iris, the messenger to the gods, used rainbows as bridges between heaven and Earth. She would act as a companion to female souls as they travelled to the afterlife, which is why Greeks still plant these striking flowers on women\u2019s graves. Irises are also commonly given to parents as a sign of respect.

Hyacinths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Heavenly hyacinths are hard to beat on the fragrance front; they\u2019ll fill Mum\u2019s home with the scent of spring. In the age-old language of flowers, they symbolise commitment, constancy and love, making them ideal for thanking a stellar mum who never lets you down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Shades of Spring features budding blue hyacinth, backed up by pink and purple tulips, spray carnations and alstroemeria \u2013 simply gorgeous!

Lavender<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve never met a mum who didn\u2019t love lavender, such is its calming aroma (try sprinkling it into a hot bath \u2013 bliss!). These bee-friendly purple flowers will bring soothing fragrance and delicate colour to her home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lavender’s meaning matches it’s positive qualities, as it represents healing, serenity and luxury. Because let\u2019s face it, if anyone deserves a moment\u2019s relaxation and indulgence, it\u2019s our mums!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it, no list of the best flowers would be complete without roses, no matter the occasion. They\u2019re perfect for Mother\u2019s Day, especially if you plump for pink roses, which simply say \u2018thank you\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow roses signify friendship \u2013 and nobody\u2019s got your back like your mum \u2013 while white roses are closely linked to Christianity\u2019s most celebrated mother, the Virgin Mary. Most of our bouquets include roses because, well, everybody loves them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carnations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s another must for Mother\u2019s Day flowers<\/a>, with a moving story behind them. Some Christians believe that as the Virgin Mary mourned her son, Jesus Christ, at his crucifixion, carnations bloomed where her tears fell. They have therefore taken on the meaning of a mother\u2019s love, making them a thoughtful choice for a new mum<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Shades of Spring<\/a> bouquet features delicate pink spray carnations, or plump for a pop of colour with the bright green variety in our Peach Sundae<\/a>. For a vintage twist, look to the stunning antique carnations in Letterbox Blush<\/a>. Good luck choosing just one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orchids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orchids don\u2019t have any obvious link to motherhood, but they do <\/em>symbolise sophistication and strength. Considered rare and exotic in Victorian times, and still striking to this day, they\u2019re our top pick for any mums with discerning taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find all kinds among our range, from stately scented dendrobium orchids to classic phalaenopsis orchids in pink, white, and yellow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
