Mothers Day Flowers
Mothers Day, originally known in the UK as Mothering Sunday, it is a time when children pay respect to their Mothers. There are many stories which try to explain how Mothering Sunday started; the most convincing is when the fasting rules of Lent were relaxed to celebrate the feeding of the five thousand.
Mothers Day in the U k is not on a fixed date because it is always celebrated on the middle Sunday in Lent. This means that Mothers day in the UK always falls on a different date.
One of the most popular gifts to give for Mothers Day has always been flowers, small bunches were often given by the church to children who took them home to Mum. It was also quite common for children to pick wild flowers to take home.
Of course, today, times have changed and lavish hand tied bouquets or arrangements of roses, lilies, orchids and several varieties of tropical flowers, spring flowers and tulips are also a popular choice.
Now that children tend to live in different towns and cities from their parents it is quite common for the flowers to be delivered by the local florist rather than delivered by the children.
