It’s Mothering Sunday in the UK, so I’m sharing these flowers in celebration of Mum. I always associate daffodils with this day because, as children, we used to line up to receive a bunch of them to carry down the hill from church to present to our mothers.
Last week, Mum retired from her Chair of Governors role for her local nursery (which has been classified as Outstanding), having carried out her responsibilities faithfully, well into her 80s. My sister and I are very proud of her.
I know she’ll be happy to share her virtual flowers with anyone else who loves them and especially with anyone who is missing their own mother today.

Lovely. Our Mothers’ Day comes in May, and our traditional flowers were violets and lily of the valley. Different flowers, but the same sentiments to go with them.
Beautiful flowers they are, too.
What a lovely gesture for your Mums. What’s not to love about daffodils? We used to bring Mum flowers though for some reason they always looked rather bedraggled by the time Mum received them, she appreciated the thought.
Ours too. A child’s hand and flower stems is a delicate combination. We perhaps had to grasp too hard just to hold them when our hands were small.
That’s kind! It’s a long time since I had a Mum. Hope yours has had a lovely day. You too!
That’s a pity. Thanks for your good wishes for Mum. She’ll appreciate them.

I very rarely have cut flowers in the house but I always get some daffodils for Mother’s Day to remember my mum who I lost 18 years ago. Well done to your mum for carrying out her duties fro so long, I hope she had a lovely day 🙂
That’s a lovely gesture. Thanks for your kind words for Mum.
A handful of daffodils! I cannot think of many flowers that are happier, and therefore so eloquent for a happy Mothering Sunday. I wish your mother a very happy day and many congratulations too!
She’ll be very happy to get your good wishes and congratulations.
Hooray! Someone else who still calls the day Mothering Sunday! I hope your mum appreciated her daffodils, both real and virtual. Like Jo, it’s very many years since I had a mum to give flowers to.
I’m sorry to hear that. Mum likes flowers, so there’s a good chance she will.
Congratulations to your accomplished mama! 🤍😊💐
Thank you! She’ll receive them gladly.
Flo brought in such a varied display from the garden
That’s nice to hear.
A very happy Mother’s Day to your mom, and many thanks for sharing the beautiful flowers. Lovely to read how active she is. My mother has been dead for 14 years. Miss her still.
The price we pay for love, to quote The Queen.
Yes, indeed. And to be mourned is to be loved.
Your Mum sounds remarkable. I hope she enjoyed her flowers and special day, and will enjoy her retirement.
She’s never fully retired, which suits her well.
Such a lovely tribute to your mother 🙂
Thank you!
Oh, Susan, this is a lovely tribute to your mother 💛 I hope she had a wonderful mother’s day.
Thanks so much, Clare.
