Peonies
Peonies have been treasured for thousands of years across the world, so much that they even have roles in ancient Greek and Chinese legends! Needless to say, this gorgeous, billowy flower has taken on a variety of meanings over the years.
The multiple petals of this cupped bloom signify romance, good fortune, prosperity and wealth, joy, honor, compassion, and bashfulness. Whether you get a monochromatic moment or a blended bouquet, peonies add a graceful touch of color and delicate beauty to any gift. They come in a variety of colors so that each arrangement you order can be just as unique and fresh as the last. Some of our top peony picks include The Pearl, The Grower's Choice Peony, and The Peony Sunrise.
Tulips
Garden Roses
While standard roses have a pointed shape and an iconic rounded center, garden roses have a softer, puffier silhouette. The petals circulate several center points to create a more circular shape with a more unfurled and ruffled look. If you’re looking for an arrangement with beautiful pink garden roses, check out The Coquette and The Pretty in Pink. If your mother enjoys high-end arrangements that leave nothing to chance, she will be impressed and moved by these intricately designed bouquets!
Ranunculus
Known for its countless petals closely wrapped in a cute disc, these pretty dome-shaped blooms are popular companions in multi-floral arrangements for their proximity to roses and double tulips. The ranunculus also stands well alone in single-stem arrangements. This flower often symbolizes charm and beauty, so it’s a wonderful gift for a mother who you think is beautiful in both appearance and character. Some of our favorite mixed bouquets that include ranunculus are The Margot, The Aphrodite, and The Pink Lady.
