these 7 flowers with negative symbolism not to give to your mother

Mother’s Day 2024 is this Sunday, May 26. If some have planned ahead, others will opt for a last minute gift. But you don’t have to rush: there are options to banish to please your mother. A survey has revealed what they really want for this special occasion. We have also selected the best feminine perfumes for you. And we found pearls for less than 30 euros for small budgets.

And for those who would like to offer flowers, another information may be useful: that on plants which have negative symbols (so avoid this weekend!). To please, a magnificent bouquet will undoubtedly have an effect, but it would be a shame if the accompanying message was not as positive as your good intention.

These flowers with negative symbolism to avoid

They smell good. They are beautiful. What’s better than flowers for Mother’s Day? Children who have decided to opt for this gift this Sunday must remember a few concepts about the symbolism. Because we attribute virtues to flowers, which sometimes even serve as an emblem, a representative. This is, for example, obvious for chrysanthemum, many already knowing that it corresponds to death. But this has only been true since the First World War, and is not the case everywhere (it is particularly positive in Australia).

Other symbolisms of flowers are more surprising, like that of white lily which is also used for burials, associated with purity and a means of paying tribute to deceased loved ones. The narcissus is, as its name suggests, linked to vanity and unreciprocated love, although it is also the symbol of hope and renewal.

What flowers for Mother’s Day?

Another flower to avoid for Mother’s Day, the yellow carnation, which may be brightly colored, nevertheless remains a symbol of disappointment, even betrayal. Bad idea then, unless you have a hidden message to send to your mother. Petunia is not a good option either: it symbolizes anger and obstacle.

As for buttercupit is the sign of the seduction and beauty of the person to whom it is offered, unless you opt for the red and yellow, colors respectively associated with betrayal and reproach. Finally, don’t choose aconite, which is also the symbol of betrayal but also of prudence and even hatred of Man. It is generally used as a warning. However, you can fall back on flowers like the rose (which is not reserved for lovers), the orchid, the hydrangea or the peony.
