Mothers Day Flowers from M&S

Mothering Sunday, commonly called “Mother’s Day” falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent (exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday); this year it falls on 14th March. It is believed to have originated from the 16th Century Christian practice of visiting one’s mother church annually, which meant that most mothers would be reunited with their children on this day.

Most historians believe that young apprentices and young women in servitude were released by their masters that weekend in order to visit their families. Its principle purpose now is celebration and thanks for mothers.

How to Keep Cut Flowers Fresh

To keep your new arrangement looking fresh and to ensure it lasts as long as possible, follow these top tips:

• Buy your flowers from a reputable outlet
• Choose blooms with firm petals or with buds which are showing some colour
• Keep them well wrapped until you get them home
• Keep them in water until you are ready to start arranging
• Make sure vases are very clean
• Use fresh lukewarm water and add commercial cut flower food
• Remove all leaves which fall below the water level
• Take at least 3cm (1″) off all stems, making a slanted cut with sharp scissors
• Don’t smash or pierce the stems
• Avoid placing the arrangement in direct sunlight, heat, or draughts
• Keep flowers away from ripening fruit
• Don’t mix daffodils with other flowers
• Remove faded flowers as they occur
• Top up the water regularly and add fresh flower food
