Flowers come in every color and shade imaginable, from deep red roses to pale white and purple orchids. While most of us have a favorite color, not all flower colors have the same meaning. Most people are aware that sending a red rose is a romantic gesture, and that pink roses are a traditional Mother's Day flower... but why? And what exactly do the colors mean?
Pink is the perfect choice for Mother's Day. Again pink roses are the traditional choice however pink camellias make a beautiful alternative. Conveying feelings of youth, joy and innocence, the color pink is associated with happiness and grace.
Lavender is somewhat similar to pink with its meanings of femininity, grace and elegance. Nearly all lavender flowers give a soothing and gentle feel to any floral arrangement. Lavender flowers are known for their delicacy and preciousness. Lavender (being a darker color) may be considered to be the mature version of pink, and as such is very suited for older Moms.
Green flowers represent nature itself, and make a great addition to any Mothers Day bouquet. The color green on its own is considered to be too bland in a floral display. However, the color green compliments virtually every other color in nature. Providing a sense of renewal and life, green flowers embody health and good fortune.

Yellow is the color of cheerfulness and joy. While in the animal kingdom yellow is a sign for danger, in flora it is an attraction color made to attract wildlife. Yellow flowers are most often associated with friendship, appreciation and happiness. Daffodils are a very fitting Mother's Day flower, if still in season and a very welcomed favorite.
