Carnations: Here is how it originated! The flower - a cherished symbol of love, loyalty, gratitude and so many other different emotions - has a special significance for Mother’s Day, too. In 1908, one of the first services in the memory of Anna Jarvis, who created the Mother’s Work Day, was organized in a church in

West Virginia. At this service, Anna Jarvis’s daughter, also named Anna, handed out white carnations. White carnations were her mother’s favorite flowers. These flowers assumed a special significance for Mother’s Day when, in 1913, the House of Representatives adopted a resolution with regards to the Mother’s Day. The resolution made it mandatory for the officials of the federal government to wear white carnations on Mother’s day. Therefore flowers, white carnations and all, remain significant, to this day, in the celebration of the Mother’s Day.
