Flowers have long been a timeless way to say “I love you,” especially on Mother’s Day. But did you know that many blooms also carry their own special meanings? Choosing flowers with heartfelt symbolism can make your gift even more meaningful. Here’s a look at the beautiful messages behind some of our most-loved Mother’s Day blooms at Little Petal Farm:

While red roses symbolize romantic love, pink and white roses are perfect for moms.

  • Pink Roses express gratitude, admiration, and sweetness.

    A bouquet with soft rose tones says “thank you for everything” in the most beautiful way.

Tulips – Comfort & Joy
