Orchids by Westerlay Orchids:
“Orchids are a popular alternative to roses or carnations on Mother’s Day, particularly phalaenopsis orchids for their long-lasting blooms and classic appearance. Orchids carry the connotation of refined beauty, strength, love, and elegance, qualities attributed to the contemporary mother. They are given as potted plants rather than cut flowers, which appeals to the modern desire for sustainable and lasting gifts.”
