With the wide variety and many different flower colours, the perfect flowers or flower arrangement can be found for each individual mother.

Ultimately, it is important to choose your mother's favourite flowers or those that have a special meaning for her. An extra personal touch can make the gift even more special.

Your mum's favourite colour: what colour flowers for Mother's Day?

The colour of the flowers is very individual. Here, too, it is a good idea to consider your mum's preferences. In general, however, pink, rose and violet are the most popular colours for Mother's Day, reveals Tanja Duscher. But colourful summer bouquets in pink, purple, orange or yellow are also very popular. Tanja Duscher suggests a combination of yellow, orange and red as a third option.

Which flowers are suitable for Mother's Day can also vary from mother to mother. Tanja Duscher also likes to ask customers about their mum's preferences and find out what type she is so that she can adapt the flower colours accordingly. For the energetic type, the bouquets will be more colourful and for the gentle, caring type, more delicate colours.

Buy orchids

In Tanja Dusche's speciality shop, however, it is less the individual flowers that are bought and more the bouquet with different flowers that can be combined well. Plants that bloom in general, such as orchids, or something special for the patio, for example a small lemon tree or another speciality that the mother might not buy herself, reveal Tanja Duscher.

If they are beautifully arranged, any flower can actually be given as a Mother's Day gift. For Tanja Duscher, it's always the message behind the flower that opens the heart. However, the flowers that are not really suitable for her as a Mother's Day gift are dried flowers and cacti. They hardly express any emotion, it should be something fresh, with blossoms and fragrance.
