Mothers Day Flowers Florida Predicts Strong Holiday Flower Sales

(SANEPR.com) May 11, 2009 -- Miami, Florida - 5/6/2009 - Mothers Day warmth cannot be chilled by the winds of economic storms, at least not Mothers Day flowers in Florida. This tradition and the many layers of deep meaning behind it make flowers the most impactful Mothers Day gift, according to former banking executive, Margaret Hampton. She insists that even with holiday sales expected to drop 14.7 percent overall, the flower segment should hold up. Flowers mean too much to Mom, and she needs them now more than ever.

Recent economic news has been less than hopeful and, at best, full of uncertainties. In these times, people need more hope, warmth, and comfort - including the kind presented through a loving gift of flowers. As Hampton expresses it, "Flowers are like brilliant bursts of color and fragrance which bring joy and delight to mothers, a bright light in the midst of the dark economic chaos."

True, flowers are a cost-effective Mothers Day gift. But Ms. Hampton says their true value lies in the "qualities and attributes of flowers that express motherhood, sending a personal, intimate message that penetrates more deeply into a mother's heart and memory than other things, even jewelry." She contends that nothing shows Mom more that she is honored and appreciated than flowers. "That's all the thanks she asks for years of sacrifice, caring, and devotion to family, a seemingly thankless job, and flowers express that."

Ms. Hampton learned much about the complexities and intricacies of flowers from her mother, a former Master Judge of the National Council of Flower Show Judges and Director, Florida Federation of Garden Clubs. As a mother herself, she also knows the heart of a mother, and identifies with the many ways flowers are like mother, explaining:

"Flowers display a fragile beauty, simple and elegant, but also complex and wild. They speak of the gift of life, springtime, and renewal, just as a mother gives life to her baby, and expends much of her life for her family. Flowers endure storms, then rise majestically off the ground and above the thorns of life. Like women, they come in a great variety of sizes, forms, colors and hues, with a sweet fragrance to fill the senses and imprint lasting impressions in our memories."

"As the representation of motherhood, fresh flowers shout a refrain of 'I love you' and 'I appreciate you.' That's why Mothers Day began with flowers - white carnations for purity. Then we saw red carnations and red roses representing life, love, courage and passion. Now just about anything goes, such as royal purple and gold to match a particular mother's character or favorite colors, to reach deep into her heart on Mothers Day."

Ms. Hampton's explanation for the strength of Mothers Day flower sales? "Even in the midst of economic chaos - perhaps more important because of it - the penetrating song of love, appreciation, and hope for renewal proclaimed by flowers is just what Mom needs now!"
