Here's a simple but radical approach to giving your mother the perfect Mother's Day Flowers: Give her the flowers that she likes best and most likely she'll be thrilled with what you give her.
I know, it's a crazy idea isn't it? But you'd be amazed at how many people ignore such simple wisdom.
We've all heard the saying, "a rose by any other name, is still a rose," but that sentiment holds true for all flowers.
A stargazer by any other name, tulips by any other name...
etc.
, etc.
are still the unique and beautiful flowers that they are.
When your buying decision takes into account your mother's unique tastes, then the odds of you picking out the perfect Mother's Day flowers increases dramatically.
It may seem obvious to say that you should buy your mother her favorite flowers, but I want you to ANSWER ONE QUESTION: Do you actually know your mother's (or your wife's) favorite flowers? If you answered "yes," then congratulations to you! You are among a small percentage of people who I like to call "considerate gift givers.
" The next question is a simple one: When buying flowers for your mom, do you tend to purchase their favorite flowers, or just pick out whatever happens to appeal to you in the moment? Unfortunately, most people don't know the answer to the first question I asked, so they're only choice is to buy what appeals to their own tastes when picking out flowers.
They roll the proverbial Mother's Day dice, and it's completely unnecessary.
:^ o I have been in love with stargazers ever since I can remember and nothing warms my heart more than when someone buys me stargazers.
The gift of any flowers given to me says, "I care for you" and I appreciate that.
But the gift of stargazers to me says, "I care for you, AND I know you" and that warms my heart at level that is truly difficult to express.
And my Mom? Well, she's a tulip kinda gal.
Roses are fine, but they don't "turn her crank" like a bouquet of tulips.
And with five kids in my family, you'd think she'd want a variety of flowers, but 2 or 3 bouquets of tulips give her a way to put her favorite flowers all over the house.
She's thrilled! Three of my five siblings buy the flowers that they like, not what my Mom likes, but my brother and I just buy my mother her beloved tulips and bask in the glow of her appreciation - pretty simple.
So in the spirit of Mother's Day I must ask, "Do you know your Mother's favorite flowers?" If you do then giving her the perfect Mother's Day flowers is easy.
If you don't know, then you still have plenty of time to simply ask her.
Most moms are willing to part with such information quite easily, so it shouldn't be too difficult to pry it loose.
Then you'll have all the information you need to give the perfect flowers for her, which I'm sure is all you ever wanted in the first place.
I hope this helps you and your mother have a wonderful Mother's Day.
