Is there a more classic pairing for springtime than flowers + cards?

Living here in California we never cease to be amazed by the endless variety of floral visions that arrive this time of year. You might’ve noticed that Masha returns to blooms over and over again in her watercolors. With so much fresh inspiration every year, what’s not to love? For this Mother’s Day we’re pairing some of our favorite (and new) cards with our dream bouquets. Let’s stop and smell the options.

For the goddess who gave you life, only the most exotic blooms will do – Orchids are a magical flower available in the potted phalaenopsis and dendrobium (or Spray) varieties. Make her day with these beauties from Bouqs.com or your local florist.

And for the mother figure in your life (Aunties and Moms-in-law count too!) who’s as warm as sunshine, radiant succulents are a perfect way to show your love. They’re beautiful and require almost no upkeep like this stunner.

Nothing says “I love you mom” like classic roses! Pink roses are used to convey gentle emotions such as admiration, joy and gratitude. Light pink blooms are indicative of sweetness and innocence. Deep pink blooms convey deep gratitude, appreciation as well as elegance and grace. Pick your bouquet to tell your mom all that!

If you are more of a do-it-yourself gifter, celebrate your mother this year with a timeless bouquet of wild flowers, harvested from the great outdoors. She’ll appreciate the thought and artistry. Pair your creation with our brand new sweetie of a card!

The Chinese call Peonies the King of flowers or the Flower Fairy. Typically in season from late April to early June, they will be sure to make Queen Mom’s day absolutely beautiful. You could find an artisanal rainbow’s worth at purepeonies.com.

And of course we can’t forget…the mom-to-be in your life! Freesia, with its simple, elegant multiple blooms along the stem, has long been a symbol of innocence and trust. One of the most fragrant flowers, freesia is perfect when Spring and newness are in the air!
