As you order flowers for Mother's Day or pick them from your garden, knowing a few things about their significance can transform your bouquet into a very personal one. Making note of why you chose the blossoms is a simple, meaningful touch to a timeless gift.

Every flower is associated with some meaning. Daisies, for example, symbolize innocence and patience. The tulip symbolizes fame and perfect love. Pink roses mean happiness. Sunflowers follow the trajectory of the sun and symbolize adoration. (Lemon begonias, on the other hand, warn to beware). Red roses, the most popular flower sent for Valentine's Day, symbolize passion, and a classic is a classic year-round.
