Flowers are the perfect Mother’s Day gift: they brighten up a room, they smell beautiful, and you can personalise almost any bouquet to show your mum how much she means to you.

As we’re dragged kicking and screaming into winter, the types of flowers available are of course subject to change.

Forget roses – here are some popular flowers in season right now include:

  • Blushing Brides

  • Anemones

  • Poppies

  • Violets

  • Ranunculus

  • Queen Anne’s Lace

  • Jasmine

  • Sweet Pea

  • Tulips

Tanya Shaw from ‘Oh Flora’ tip to make your bouquet sensational

Winning Mother’s Day bouquets should be filled with fluffy Chrysanthemums and frilly edged tulips mixed with other sweet-scented and textural blooms like jonquils & sweetpeas arranged in a modern, wilder display rather than a traditional posy.

Adding surprising elements like fruiting branches & herbs is a fun touch and opens an invitation for a sense of nostalgia.
