“The truth is that no matter how old we are, as long as our mothers are alive, we want our mother.” – Goldie Hawn

Carnations have a special connection with Mother’s Day.
Anna Jarvis, who urged President Woodrow Wilson to establish Mother’s Day as an official holiday, began the tradition of wearing a carnation to pay tribute to mothers. Typically, red or pink carnations are lovely gifts to celebrate your mom, whereas white carnations serve to honor a mother who has passed on.
