Mother's Day Statistics

Mother's Day can be traced back to the 1600s when the ancient Greeks paid respects to mother goddesses, Cybele and Rhea. This established a special day being set aside to celebrate one's Mother.

On May 10th 1908, the first Mother's Day observation was held in Grafton, West Virginia. This day commemorated the death of Anna Jarvis's mother. In general Anna Jarvis has been credited for generating the idea of Mother's Day in North America. Anna Jarvis played a major role in trying to get the government to establish a national holiday to honor mothers. On May 9th 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in May Mother's Day.

Ideas for Mother's Day

• Serve your mom breakfast in bed, complete with an arrangement of her favorite fresh cut flower on the side.
• Personalize mom's arrangement by including her favorite flowers or favorite color in it.
• Pick an arrangement that goes with mom's taste or personality. If she is upbeat and active, an arrangement with vibrant orange and pink flowers such as our Fiesta bouquet would suit her nicely. If she is more traditional, a good choice would be more cream colored or pastel colored flowers, such as our Pretty In Pink bouquet.
• Try to suit mom's interests. If she is a gardener send her something to give her joy all season long. Good ideas would be azaleas or lavender plants.
