Mother's Day Card Pictures and Ideas

Mother’s Day Card Idea 1 – Flowers

Mother's Day Card Idea 1 - Flowers

Flowers are colorful, beautiful, and rich in symbolism. They remind us of nature, spring, sunshine, and new life. As such they make a very compelling theme for mothers everywhere.

Below, I have chosen 5 types of flowers to feature in my Mother’s Day cards-

• Gazania – Gazanias are flowering plants native to Southern Africa. As a result, they are tough, strong, and able to handle adversity. However, despite their toughness, they are full to beauty and color – just like a mother!
• Hibiscus – The Hibiscus is a wonderful flower with large, colorful petals. Nevertheless, this flower is not just a pretty face. It is also used to make paper, tea, food, and more.
• Roses – Roses have long been used to signify love and beauty. They capture the beauty of a mother’s heart, and are a great way to say “I love you mom!”.
• Pansies – Pansies symbolize thought and emotion. When we include pansies in our card, we tell our mothers that they are always in our thoughts.
• Asian Lilies – Asian or Oriental Lilies have large petals and bright colors which make them stand out. Their more unusual and exotic look make our cards unique and novel. These beauties are sure to catch the eye!

And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother.
