Mother's Day flowers

Mother's Day flowers are the purest declaration of your love. Although you might take Mom for granted sometimes, you'll always hold her in your heart!

Mother's Day, a special occasion for Mom's around the world, is an annual celebration of motherhood. In the United States, this day falls upon the second Sunday in May and in the UK, Mothering Sunday, is celebrated sometime in March usually during the period of Lent.

In the United States, Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910) first suggested Mother's Day in 1870 as a day dedicated to peace. Howe was involved with many pursuits and causes. She was an active participant in the early fight for womens' rights and the abolition of slavery. Having witnessed the devastating effects of the American Civil War (1861-65) not just for soldiers in battle but for the widows and orphans left behind, Howe became famous for public speaking about the ravages of war.
