Mother’s Day In Australia

For more than a hundred moons, us Aussies have been smothering our mums with affection and appreciation on Mother's Day. This wonderful occasion has bloomed into a cherished custom, allowing us to pay homage to the caring superheroes who sculpt our existence. From wiping our bums to imparting pearls of wisdom, our mums merit every bit of recognition for fashioning us into the spectacular beings we've become today.

 

When Is Mother’s Day?

When May rolls around in Australia, it's time to celebrate the ultimate superhero: Mom! On the second Sunday, we shower her with love and gifts. Dates may dance, but we'll always honor our leading ladies. In 2023, mark your calendar for May 14th!

 

History Of Mother’s Day

Once upon a time, in ancient Greece and Rome, there were festivals dedicated to celebrating maternal goddesses, who were believed to embody the nurturing and caring essence of motherhood. Fast forward to the 16th century in Europe, where "Mothering Sunday" was a popular Christian holiday for visiting the "mother church" and spending time with loved ones.

But the modern-day version of Mother's Day was born in the early 1900s in the USA, thanks to a fierce social activist named Anna Jarvis. She launched a heartfelt campaign to honor her own mother and her dedication to promoting peace during the Civil War era.

Anna's first official celebration took place in 1908, and before long, President Woodrow Wilson recognized it as a national holiday in 1914. Since then, Mother's Day has become a beloved global tribute to all the amazing moms and mother figures who shape our lives with love, care, and sacrifice.

 

 

Traditional Mother's Day Flowers Australia

We all know the sweet scent of Carnations - the darling of Mother's Day! These lovelies have been twirled around the holiday for ages, thanks to the flower fanatic Anna Jarvis. Fun fact: white ones scream purity and an eternal motherly love, while pink blooms signify gratefulness and love. 

But why limit ourselves to just one type of flower? Roses scream admiration and love, Lilies represent nurturing and motherhood, and Daisies bring a playful charm. Orchids add a tropical flair while Tulips scream beauty and elegance. So, let your imagination run wild, dive into your mother's favorite colors and blossoms, and gift her with the ultimate bouquet of joy and appreciation!

 

Mother’s Day Flowers in Australia

Oh, the delightful tradition of gifting blooming beauties on Mother's Day in Australia! It dates back to the early 20th century when the holiday first graced our shores. While the exact origin of this flowery custom remains a mystery, it's likely it was inspired by the practice of giving blossoms as tokens of love and affection on other special occasions.

One theory links this tradition to Anna Jarvis, the visionary founder of Mother's Day in the US, who deemed white carnations as the ultimate emblem of motherhood. Another hypothesis links it to the UK, where flowers, especially daffodils and roses, have been lovingly bestowed upon mums for centuries.

Mother's Day Flowers: Chrysanthemums

 

Let's take a wild adventure into the fascinating world of Mother's Day flowers and how they are celebrated across diverse cultures! Some places shine the spotlight on chrysanthemums as the ultimate gift for Mom, while others down under in Australia prefer a whole bouquet of gorgeous blooms, from lovely roses to fancy lilies and playful carnations.

The Greeks started this awesome tradition to honor Rhea, wife of Cronus and the mother of many Greek deities. The Romans caught on quickly, and we've been celebrating this heartwarming occasion ever since. Fun fact: chrysanthemum comes from the Greek words 'chrysos' meaning gold and 'anthemon' meaning flower.

But wait, there's more! In Japan, chrysanthemums reign supreme as the ultimate symbol of loyalty and devotion, even used in ceremonies honoring mothers and associated with the imperial family. These delicate beauties are truly something else!

Now, what about the chrysanthemum itself? This flowering plant, also known as "mum," gets its name from the Greek words for "gold" and "flower," and people even use the flowers to make medicine. And in Australia, chrysanthemums are the go-to for Mother's Day because they're an autumn flower in May and, of course, end with "mum." So show your mom some love and appreciation with a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums, and don't forget to celebrate the magic of family and friendship!

  • Roses: A timeless emblem of affection and gratitude, capturing hearts since forever. And no wonder it's a go-to for celebrating the wonder that is motherhood!
  • Lilies: The graceful white lilies embody purity and innocence, but don't forget the cheerful pink and yellow varieties, whose maternal love vibes will make your heart flutter with joy.
  • Peonies: Behold the regal peonies, known for evoking images of motherhood, fecundity, and prosperity. These blooms exude a captivating charm, igniting visions of bountiful gardens and new beginnings.
  • Orchids: In certain cultures, these floral queens reign supreme, radiating strength and beauty with every petal.
  • Irises: Long ago in Greece, the iris was a flower that made Hera proud. The goddess of goddesses, mom of gods, and guardian of love and ladies.
  • Daffodils: The blooms of fresh starts, these floral favorites are the go-to for welcoming a precious bundle. Symbolic and sweet, they're the perfect way to say hello to new beginnings.

No matter the culture, flowers honor motherhood with love, beauty, and admiration for the unbreakable bond between mother and child. A kaleidoscope of floral tributes!
