A Mother's Day guide to flower shops in the Dayton region
Apr. 22—Consider this your reminder that Mother's Day is approaching quickly, and florists want patrons to make their orders as early as possible. This year, it falls on May 12.
Flowers symbolically represent the bond between a mother and a child. In many countries, carnations are a popular choice to send to moms because they represent eternal love as well as gratitude. In the U.S., other popular flowers are roses, tulips, lilies and orchids. Pink and red colors, often the most popular choices, symbolize love and admiration.
According to the National Retail Federation, consumers spend nearly $300 on mother's day gifts annually.
