Mothering Sunday
In the UK, Mother's Day, also known as Mothering Sunday, falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is three weeks before Easter Sunday. It is thought to have originated from the 16th century Christian practice of visiting one's mother church, where you were baptised, once a year. This meant that most mothers would be reunited with their children on this day. Historians believe that young apprentices and young women in servitude were released by their masters that weekend in order to visit their families.
Mother's Day Flowers
Flowers are now generally used to show appreciation to one's mother on Mother's Day, but it is still recognised in the historical sense by some churches, with attention being paid to Mary as well as the traditional concept of 'Mother Church'.
Some scholars claim that Mother's Day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece, where a festival to Cybele was celebrated. This festival was held around the Vernal or Spring Equinox, and then later in Rome from the Ides of March.
Mother's Day Gifts
The Romans also had another holiday, called Matronalia that was dedicated to their goddess Juno, and it is believed that mothers were given gifts of flowers on this day.
Rose Sunday is another name that is sometimes used as an alternative title for Mother's Day, as can be seen by the purple robes of Lent being replaced in some churches by rose-coloured robes. This name possibly also refers to the tradition of posies of flowers being collected and distributed at the service and given to all the mothers, and then later to include all women in the congregation.

Testimonials
“I've used Interflora for years spending about £40 each time. On the off chance I only had £20 to spend, I couldn't get anything from Interflora for this price so tried flowers4. I never looked back. Apparently with Interflora both florists and Interflora take a cut from the order value whereas flowers4 don't. This make a massive difference. Try ordering a £20 bouquet from both and see the difference... you'll be surprised!”

“I rang them up on Valentines morning not expecting to be able to get anything delivered as I had left it late. They not only did the order but it was delivered to my girlfriend within 2 hours - she was really pleased. I would really recommend this shop.”
