Mother's Day is a special occasion to honour and show appreciation for everything our mothers do for us. Giving flowers on Mother's Day is a beloved tradition, and choosing the perfect bouquet can be a truly meaningful gesture full of love and care. In this article, we highlight the 5 most popular flowers for Mother's Day in Spain, explain their symbolism, and share why they make ideal gifts for this occasion. We also invite you to browse our Mother's Day bouquet collection at Persa Flores, where you'll also find plants, accessories, and unique extras to personalise your gift.

1. Roses

Roses are a symbol of love and affection, making them a classic choice for Mother's Day. Red roses represent deep love and respect, while pink roses convey gratitude and appreciation. White roses symbolise purity, and yellow roses bring joy and friendship. Pink roses, along with white and yellow ones, are also among the best flowers to give at this time of year.

A mixed rose bouquet can be a wonderful way to express your feelings for your mum. You can choose an arrangement with different colours, sizes, and rose varieties to create a one-of-a-kind bouquet, full of meaning and emotion. You can also add chocolates, a soft toy, or a card with a personal message to make it even more special.

Lilies are majestic flowers that symbolise purity, motherhood, and unconditional love — making them a perfect choice for this occasion. Gifting your mum a bouquet of lilies is like saying "thank you for everything you do" with every petal. Their elegant shape and delicate fragrance make them one of the most sought-after arrangements for this kind of celebration.

White lilies represent nobility and devotion, while pink lilies speak of admiration. In some of our products, you'll find arrangements combining lilies and roses — a failsafe pairing to celebrate maternal love.
