Are you ready for Mother’s Day? It’s the perfect day to put all moms in the spotlight for their unconditional love and care.

Did you know roses are the most popular flowers on Mother’s Day? Here are some tips and inspiration for Mother’s Day.
Why Give Flowers on Mother’S Day?
But why do we actually give flowers as a Mother’s Day gift? The Mother’s Day we celebrate in the Netherlands today comes from America. The founder from the US, Anne Marie Jarvis, took the initiative to give a carnation to every mother attending church on that special Sunday. She also placed a carnation on the graves of mothers who had passed away—something she always did at her own mother’s grave, too. So flowers already played a very important role back then, and this trend continued—even after Mother’s Day was introduced in the Netherlands in 1925.
