Creating a paradise away from the city

Although Mother's day may seem like it's an age away, the 13th of May will soon creep around. With that in mind, it's not a bad time to start thinking about what you'll buy for your mum. Using a lily delivery service, you can show her that you care in the most special of ways.

They signify devotion

Although many associate lilies with death, their original meaning stems from devotion. The Ancient Greeks saw them as the flower of Hera, the Queen of the Gods. Additionally, they're also the birth flower of May, making it the perfect time to send them.

As lilies represent devotion and have a strong historical connection with women, they make for an ideal Mother's Day flower. As such, a lily delivery service is a great way to show your mum you care.

It's an elegant way to show you care

If you aim for Calla lilies, you'll demonstrate your love for your mum in the most elegant of ways. Choosing a specific colour allows you to illustrate the thought that's going into your gift. For example:

• White lilies represent purity
• Yellow is a sign of gratitude
• Pink is for appreciation
• Red is for beauty
• Purple is for admiration
• Black is for mysterious elegance

Opt for the colour that you feel suits your mother the best regarding her character and how you see her. With the right handwritten note card, you can use a lily delivery service to demonstrate that you hold her in high esteem.

You can save time, without missing Mother's day

As with any other flower delivery service, sending lilies is a foolproof means of ensuring you don't miss Mother's Day. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, you're more likely to spend a lot of money on your mum than your dad when it comes to the male equivalent. Around $200 million each year is spent on flowers for this occasion alone, and there are good reasons for that:

• With a prompt delivery service, you reduce the risk of missing the day
• If you live far away from your mum and you can't make it home for the big day, it's a reliable means of showing that you care
• Flowers are a sign that you cherish the recipient in question, leaving your mum with no doubt that you adore her

Of course, you could choose any other flower to mark this momentous occasion. But, with their variety, femininity, and symbolism combined, lilies make for an excellent selection.
