Mother's Day is This Sunday: How It All Started

Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 8th. " It's early this year", says Ken Summerville, C.E.O. of 1-800-I-LOVE-YOU Flowers and Gifts. "This year Mother's Day most popular bouquet for us has been the Lena Liu product from Teleflora and the Galway Irish Crystal bouquet also from Teleflora." In 1905 when Anna Jarvis died, her daughter, also named Anna, began a campaign to memorialize the life work of her mother. Legend has it that young Anna remembered a Sunday school lesson that her mother gave in which she said, "I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will found a memorial mother's day.

There are many days for men, but none for mothers." Anna began to lobby prominent businessmen like John Wannamaker, and politicians including Presidents Taft and Roosevelt to support her campaign to create a special day to honor mothers. At one of the first services organized to celebrate Anna's mother in 1908, at her church in West Virginia, Anna handed out her mother's favorite flower, the white carnation. Five years later, the House of Representatives adopted a resolution calling for officials of the federal government to wear white carnations on Mother's Day. In 1914 Anna's hard work paid off when Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother's Day as a national holiday.Today, mom's everywhere expect flowers from their sons and daughters and husbands to celebrate Mother's Day.1-800-I-LOVE-YOU Flowers and Gifts will be working 24 hours a day processing orders for Mothers everywhere, most orders coming in via their web site at http://www.800iloveyou.com Founded in 1934, Teleflora is the world's leading floral wire service, providing products, services and programs to member florists in the U.S. and Canada.

Giving the gift of flowers has been a long time tradition. Flowers symbolize beauty, compassion and love and convey emotions and often communicate when words are not enough. Flowers are given for many occasions including birthdays, anniversaries, births, deaths, get-well wishes and just to say ?I Love You'. Florists can usually plan on being exceptionally busy at some peak times of the year such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Many of the top performing florists stay busy year round by specializing in funeral arrangements and other important events.

Birthdays, anniversaries and ?no-reason' gifts are in demand year round.Traditionally the local hometown florist was only a phone call away and could handle most of the client's needs. The customer just had to give them a ring, tell them the occasion and have the flowers delivered.
