(ARA) - For some, selecting a meaningful gift for Mom is more
difficult than finding presents for any other person. How does one show appreciation for
the woman who gave you life? This year, use Mother’s Day as the perfect opportunity
to show your mom that after all of these years, you understand her with a personalized
bouquet of fresh flowers. Join the fun new trend of matching your mom’s personality
to the arrangement. Did you know that each and every flower has its own meaning?
Take a moment to consider who your mom is and what she loves.
Then, personalize your message with the fresh, beautiful gift of flowers. Here are some
tips from FTD on matching your mom with the perfect bouquet. Constant Companion
I f your mother has been the constant, calming influence in your
life, then paint a living picture of her as the woman who has always been there for you
using seasonal florals such as lisianthus and freesia nestling against a backdrop of roses
or cradled by gerberas and larkspur. Your message will tell your mother that her patience
and sensitivity is recognized each day and especially celebrated on Mother’s Day.

Lively Lady
Is your mother your best friend and confidante? If you
regularly share fun moments of silliness or adventures together, show her you recognize
her as your partner in crime by sending her a delightful bouquet of tulips and daisies.
This pure, yet lively depiction will capture the fun the two of you have together as well
as your energetic and engaging personalities.

If your mother is a feminine woman with a sensitivity to the past and great pride in
your future, show her you care -- even from a distance -- with a fresh bouquet. Mix
colorful sunflowers with alstroemeria to show your appreciation for her generous and
devoted affections. For a broader presentation of personal affection, add dahlia to show
her that she’s a source of inspiration in your life.
