Popular Flowers and Colours for Mother’s Day Flowers
With the holiday falling at a time when Spring is in full swing, it comes to no surprise that the most popular flowers and colours are those associated with the season. Think daffodils, lilies, tulips and delicate hydrangeas – or anything else that conjures up images of warmer and sunnier days. Despite not being a “Spring” flower, roses are also quite popular (aren’t they always?)

In general, women prefer pastels. Coupled with the fact that pastels are associated with Spring, you can make a safe bet that arrangements featuring softer shades will impress.

Of course every mother is unique. Your mother may prefer deeper colours or a potted non-flowering plant, so ultimately, the choice is up to you.

Need help deciding? We’ve been in the business for over a decade and have seen what works and what doesn’t. Just call us at 416-FLORIST if you need assistance in selecting the best Mother’s Day flowers. You can also drop by our store and speak to our staff directly.

Tulips are hot right now! They are in season and pleasantly dot the landscape of neighbourhood gardens and yards, making them a great gift to give for Mother’s Day?

If you are planning to give tulips for Mother’s Day, remember the following things to ensure that they look their best:

Tulips continue to grow in length even after being cut, which means you might need to choose a taller vase that can accommodate. Of course, if you’re trimming the stems on a daily basis when you clean the vase, you may not notice this!

Although they still may be fresh and far from wilting, tulips can droop since they are affected by gravity (geotropic). Make sure you keep them upright in a container until you’re ready to present them to your mother.

Tulips are attracted to the light. Much like sunflowers, they’ll try their best to position their heads toward the light, which means they may curve at an awkward angle if the light source is positioned off to the side. Place your tulips directly underneath a light source so they’ll stand straight up.

A tulip’s worst enemy may be a narcissus. After being cut, the slime produced by the stems of all species of narcissi is quite harmful to tulips, shortening their lifespan and causing them to prematurely wilt. For that reason, make sure you don’t mix these two types of flowers together unless they’ve been conditioned properly by your florist.

This delightful bouquet of pink and white tulips is conditioned for longevity and artistically handtied by our master florist designers. Freshly plucked from the garden, a 10 stem bouquet is only $44.99, while a bunch of 20 is only $75.99! Makes a wonderful gift.

Order now for prompt delivery to your mother’s door, or pick them up from our retail location. Also available in vibrant orange, luscious red and pure white at the same price.

Is your mother crazy about tulips? If she is, then this is the arrangement for her!

This is a tulip extravaganza! This arrangement highlights the beauty of tulips, featuring three separate bunches of pretty blooms in varying colours arranged neatly in a glass container – that’s all. A simple but bountiful flower arrangement that is a must for the tulip lover.

Well worth $120.99. Colours may vary, however if you prefer a particular colour, please let us know when you place your order.

The Tulip was introduced to the Dutch while they were enjoying a Golden Age in the 17th century where Dutch trades, art, science, were amongst the most praised in the world. During this Golden Age, the introductory prices of tulips rose to extraordinarily high prices, and then, suddenly subsided. February of the year 1637 was the climax of ‘tulipmania’ where the prices of tulip contracts were sold off for more than 10 times the salary of a skilled craftsman at the time! Tulipmainia spread all around Europe, and even became a currency- many people stopped their livelihoods to become tulip farmers. Many people who invested in tulips were struck when the prices plummeted, and the Dutch economy witnessed an incredible shock. When there was no food available in times of famine, the Dutch and other societies would actaully eat cooked tulip bulbs for sustenance – but at 416-Florist we dont advise consuming tulips, but rather sending them to make the perfect gift for your Mother on Mother’s Day! Today, tulips remain a staple and national symbol in the Netherlands. Tulips flourish in mountainous regions that have long cool springs and warm summer and they require a period of cool dormancy.

Today, tulips represent the spring time, and make the perfect choice of gift to send for Mother’s Day. At 416-Florist, we have all your tulip needs, as all flowers are out specialty. We have many special arrangements with tulips that will make your mother smile on Mother’s Day. Order our Sunny Spring Tulips vase arrangement which is an elegant gift- and perfect for Mother’s Day- comes packed full of bright and cheery yellow tulips. Or why not check out our 10 Tulip Vase at 416-Florist? This vase arrangement consists of 10 beautiful, fresh and crisp tulips in one vibrant colour- this makes the perfect give to give to that special woman in your life- such as your mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt- for Mother’s Day, and they will be sure to appreciate the beauty of these exquisite spring flowers.

So, as you can see, looking back in history, it is evident that the importance of the female and motherhood hardly ever experienced a blind eye. So, how did today’s modern celebration of Mother’s Day – where families shower their mothers with gifts and flowers, such as roses, carnations, tulips and daisies, – come to life? It all dates back to seventieth century England, where the English would celebrate Mothering Sunday on the 4^th Sunday of Lent. On this day, Mothers were the guest of honor, and were showered with bouquets of wildflowers and sweet treats. This tradition of Mother’s Day in North America that originated in England has now been popularized as Mother’s day in England which is always celebrated on the 4^th Sunday of Lent, and is on March 22^nd of this year. Other nations that share Mother’s Day on this date with the United Kingdom are Ireland and Nigeria. Mother’s Day is fast approaching in North America, and here at 416-Florist, we deliver all across North American (and the World!), so don’t forget to send you mother, wife, grandmother, aunt, sister, step-mother or mother in law a beautiful floral arrangement designed by our top notch designers which can include the most beautiful spring flowers such as: tulips, roses, gerbera daisies, carnations, irises, freesias, astra marias, baby breath and many more!

Mother’s Day has become an International tradition; however, not all countries of the world celebrate it on the same day. The most widely celebrated date of Mother’s Day is the second Sunday in May, which is celebrated by 65 nations, among them are: Australia, Canada, Bahamas, Columbia, Turkey, South Africa, United States, Barbados, Greece and Switzerland. Although Mother’s Day was inspired by Mothering Sunday in England, it never gained enough momentum until the daughter of an Appalachian homemaker, named Anna Jarvis began the crusade to establish a memorial day to honor the role of women and mothers. In the year 1907, Anna Jarvis handed out 500 white carnations to all the women in her church’s congregation on the anniversary of her mother’s passing. One year later, the very first Mother’s Day was honored at St. Andrew’s Methodist Episcopal Church, in West Virginia, on May 10^th 1908, which was a Sunday. Soon enough it garnered attention in 46 states, and then, to most of the world. Canada adopted this tradition in 1909. Ever since then, Carnations as well as tulips, roses and daisies, have been the flowers of choice to send to Mothers as the flower was the first symbol in the holiday’s beginnings. In the states, wearing a white carnation means that your mother has passed away, a red or pink carnation means she is still alive. Soon after this official holiday had been proclaimed, giving gifts, flowers such as tulips, roses, carnations and daisies, and cards became a tradition for Mother’s Day to show your appreciation, love and ever lasting bond to your mother. At 416-Florist, we have the perfect spring flowers, arrangements, gift baskets to suit any need. Flowers such as tulips, roses, freesias, irises, astra marias, gerbera daisies and more are all available to send directly to your loved, anywhere in the GTA, North America, or World, this Mother’s Day Holiday!

India

Indians celebrate a western version of Mother’s Day in India on May 10; however there is another tradition that resembles this holiday which occurs in October. Hindus celebrate for 10 days in October in a celebration deemed Durga PujaIâ, (which is among the largest celebrations in India), Durga is a goddess recognized as the universal mother, who protects people from evil doings. Other traditions are similar to the West, such as inviting your mother for dinner so she can take a day rest from the kitchen, and of course showering her with plenty of gifts on Mother’s Day in India, such as beautiful spring flowers like roses, tulips, carnations, freesias, irises, astra marias and more- which 416-Florist has an abundance of and can design the perfect floral arrangement for your mother, grandmother, aunt or wife and have it sent directly to her on Mother’s day!

France

Mother’s day was actually encouraged by American Soldiers in WWI, and it eventually day became official on December 19 1920 as La Fete de Meres, which means The Celebration of Mothers, in French. Interestingly, there was an ulterior motivation to this celebration and it was to re populate the country due to the tragic loss of men during WWI. Women were actually awarded medals for having many children. Women with 4 or 5 children were awarded the bronze medal; 6 or 7 achieved silver; and 8 or 9 (or more) won the gold! This tradition did not last long, and a more modern version was implemented, and on May 25^th 1945 became the National Day of Mothers. Today, the French give their mothers a cake shaped like a bouquet of flowers, sweets, cards and more. Flowers are very popular to send for Mother’s Day, and at 416-Florist, your choices are endless.

Japan

Today, Mother’s Day in Japan is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, just like the rest of the world; however the history of this long-standing tradition has more to it than meets the eye. In Japan, Mother’s Day is called haha no hi, and came into practice by the Japanese Christians in 1913 based on American traditions. The holiday garnered a lot of attention around the country, and became very popular in the 1930s. And then everything changed. WWII came around, and all western influences were officially banned from the country. However, since the war was extremely devastating in nature, Mother’s day was once again resurrected in 1949 in order to comfort the mother who experienced great loss in the war. Japan even had a long running contest every 4 years where children would submit artistic renditions of their mothers all vying to win a coveted prize which was to have their drawings tour thorough the country and the world. Currently, Japan has reverted back to the American tradition and celebrates Mother’s Day just as most of the world on the second Sunday in May. It is most popular to send flowers such as: freesias, fresh spring flowers, gerbera daisies, irises roses, tulips, daisies and carnations and at 416-Florist, we have every flower and arrangement plus more to meet your gifting needs for your mother, grandmother, aunt, wife or any other special lady in your life that you would like to show your appreciations towards.

Mother’s Day in Mexico became popularized across the country based on an article written by journalist Rafael Alducin in 1922. In this article he promoted and supported the celebration of Mother’s Day in all of Mexico, rather than only in some parts. Because of his article, the holiday did become widespread, and today all of Mexico celebrates this special day on May 10^th. Some of the traditional gifts mothers are showered with include: a serenade by her family, or hired band in the morning, and a family meal to respect the matriarch despite any differences some family members may have among each other.
