The latest trends in Mother's Day flowers
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and the obvious way to show mum how much you care is with a beautiful bunch of flowers. But what to buy? We went to our florists and asked their expert opinions on the blooms that are in this year.
Traditional Mother's Day Flowers
Pretty, classic flowers are always popular when it comes to mum which means that these traditional Mother’s Day favourites are still safe go-tos…
Chrysanthemums
Of course we have to start with the chrissie, the traditional Mother’s Day flower in Australia. The chrysanthemum symbolises friendship and positive well wishes. They come in all shapes and sizes from smaller field varieties to the wonderfully large disbuds.

Tulips
Tulips tend to symbolise love, but different colours can say different things. Pink tulips mean caring so they’re a great one for Mother’s Day. Yellow tulips bring cheerful thoughts...also a good option. Got some apologising to do? Then white tulips are your friend. And red tulips stand for true love so maybe leave these ones alone.

Lilies
The lily symbolises motherhood and fertility so is the perfect fit for Mother’s Day. If you want to break it down by colour, white means purity, pink stands for ambition and encouragement, yellow conveys good health and wellbeing, orange is confidence and pride, and red is of course love and desire.

Roses
Roses have long been associated with motherhood, making them a popular choice on Mother's Day. However, trying to navigate the meaning of roses can be a bit of a minefield with so many variations and colours available. Let's cover the basics - pink roses convey admiration and gratitude, white roses signify virtue and purity, yellow roses stand for joy and friendship, orange are for passion and energy and once again red is for love. Whatever you do don’t send black roses, that means the end of a relationship so you probably want avoid that one on Mother’s Day.
