This was because it was her mother's favorite flower. She initially selected white carnations to symbolize the purity of a mother's love. Over time, the tradition evolved: if a mother is still living, a red carnation should be worn, while a white one signifies remembrance. 𓆸 Daylily: The Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao wrote in his "Song of the Wandering Son": "Daylilies grow on the hall steps, the wandering son travels afar; the mother leans by the hall door, unable to see the daylily bloom." Legend has it that in ancient times, children far from home would plant fields of daylilies for their mothers. The hope was that tending to the flowers would help mothers alleviate their longing for their children, forgetting sorrow and worry. 𓆸 Chrysanthemum: Australians sometimes choose to gift Chrysanthemums on Mother's Day. This is because the English word "Chrysanthemum" shares a similar ending sound with "Mum," a common term of endearment for mothers in Australia. Thus, besides carnations, chrysanthemums have become another popular choice for Australians to give to their mothers. 𓆸 Lily: The Lily is considered the Mother's Flower by indigenous peoples, symbolizing elegance, purity, and sanctity. Indigenous women in Taiwan wear lily ornaments to signify their virtuous character and integrity. 𓆸 Jasmine: Mother's Day in Thailand is not celebrated in May but on August 12th each year, which is also the birthday of Queen Sirikit, the mother of all Thai people. On Mother's Day, Thai children string together jasmine flowers and offer them to their mothers with a kneeling bow, expressing their deep gratitude. 𓆸 Lupine: "The stars above are silent, the child below calls for Mama, the stars twinkle like eyes, and Mama's darling is the Lupine..." Lupines grow for years in the barren soil of the countryside. After they wither, they become the best fertilizer for tea trees, fully embodying the spirit of the ancient poem "transformed into spring mud to protect the flowers." Because of this, they are known as the Mother's Flower of the Hakka people. 𓆸 Tulip: Noble love, eternal love. Purple tulips are the most visually stunning among tulips and symbolize an unbreakable love. They can be given to loved ones to express deep affection and are also suitable as a Mother's Day gift. 𓆸 Rose: While roses are used for confessions of love or expressing affection in Taiwan, they are the Mother's Flower in Vietnam and Indonesia. In Vietnam, people visit temples on Mother's Day to pray for their parents and family. Children wear pink or red roses to represent their mothers; similar to white carnations, wearing a white rose signifies that the mother has passed away. 𓆸 Calla Lily: In European and American countries, the Calla Lily is a popular choice for bridal bouquets due to its flower meanings: endless love, devotion until death, and unwavering loyalty.
