There is no one like our Mom! And although this role may have been filled by a stepmother, a grandmother, or adoptive mother, the love we feel for these amazing women is certainly something to be celebrated. They are our closest friends and our strongest allies, and we simply love honoring them.

Julia’s Florist has the flowers and gifts that you will need on May 14, to show this very importunate person just how much you value and cherish her. Check out our Mother’s Day collection, or give us a call to speak about a beautiful custom floral bouquet made just for her.

Here are a few fun statistics related to Mother’s Day:

* This special day has been celebrated in the United States since 1908, but its equivalent in Europe (Mothering Sunday) began in the 1600’s, and celebrating moms goes as far back as ancient Greek and Roman festivals. Although to be fair, the ancients worshiped the goddesses of motherhood more so than their actual physical mothers.
* There are over 85 million mothers in the United States.
* Nearly one-quarter of all flowers sold annually are sold over this holiday. We sure do love our Moms! (this is also a great reason to call Julia’s Florist early!)
* Pink and white carnations are among the most popular flowers sent and received on Mother’s Day.

The gifts and flowers at Julia’s Florist include such beautiful arrangements as Fantastic Garden, shown above, which showcases jewel-tone fuchsia gerbera daisies and pink roses; or Loves Purple, a gorgeous arrangement of lavender roses, green mini hydrangea, asters and alstroemeria  – all looking perfect in purple. Julia’s Florist has many arrangements to choose from, and we are confident that one is just right for your very special Mom.

Mother’s Day will be here in just a couple of weeks, so now is the time to contact us and schedule a delivery of the most beautiful flowers she has ever seen. Check out the flowers above and similar selections at our Mother’s Day Flowers collection online. At Julia’s Florist, we love the annual opportunity to take a moment out to thank Mom for all her love and sacrifice – let us know how we can help you, whether right here in Wilmington or across the miles.
