41 to 59 year old Mothers

Mothers 60 years and above.

As you can see – the difference in preference is quite outstanding. One of the most significant differences is that Lilies made up 50% of the favourites for the 25-40 age group, but did not feature at all in the 60+ group. When I followed this up, it seems that the older generation still associate lilies to some degree with funerals thus their dislike of them being received on what should be a happy occasion. Lilies are more popular with the middle age bracket – so I think that these views are “dying out”, which is great as the lily is a beautiful flower, which we have seen, many love to receive. Roses unsurprisingly feature in all 3 age brackets – so are probably the “safe bet” if you are at a loss as to which flowers to go for!

So, what do you think about the results? Do they surprise you? Do you know what flowers your own Mother would like to receive on Mothers Day? Possibly not, as it is not a question that we ask – in fear of “giving the game away” and is probably not something we think of asking around December time for example so that we know what to buy when Mothers Day comes up. Possibly some detective work would be in order? Or why not use out survey results as a guide?!
