What do Mothers want for Mother's day?
I asked 16 Mothers of varying ages and occupations what flowers they would most like to receive on Mothers Day. And here are the results:
| Name | Age | Occupation | Flower | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Karen C | 47 | Retired | Lilies | |
| Sharon L | 26 | Bar Person | Lilies | |
| Nicola T | 25 | Nursery Nurse | Pastel Roses | |
| Grace R | 84 | Retired | Freesias | |
| Marion F | 53 | Homemaker | Sunflower (best single flower) | Mixed Bouquet with plenty of greenery (best bouquet to receive) |
| Christine H | Ancient (early 40's) | Chartered Surveyor (estates manager) | Freesias and Roses | *NOTE in the graph below I have given each flower ½ a place each! |
| Christine J | 60 (However age doesn’t matter unless you’re a cheese!!) | Office manager, but soon to be retired!!! | Sweet pea – but alas these are not in season on Mother’s Day | Another favourite used to be those paper flowers the children made in class and brought home to mum from school |
| Angela L | 50 | Administrator | Lilies | |
| Alexis B | 52 | Secretary | Daffodils | |
| Gillian F-E | 41 | Police Secretary | Roses | |
| Karen G | 38 | Police Constable | Lilies | |
| Corrin R | 53 | NHS Secretary | Lilies | |
| Sheila O-W | 69 | Retired | Roses | Not keen on lilies |
| Marie C | 48 | Secretary - Systems Operator | Sunflowers | |
|
Maureen M |
42 | Administrator | Freesias | |
| Victoria F | 26 | Senior Secretary | Roses | (a bouquet of pinks and creams) |
A break down of the results.
So, despite carnations being the traditional Mothers Day Flower – they did not feature once! And the best seller (see previous blog entry) from last year – the rose – came a very close second to the Lilly!
Also... keep your eyes open because I will be asking men what they think their Mothers would most like to receive on Mother's Day – and we shall see how the results compare!
