I\u2019ll admit it\u2014I spent a good ten minutes staring at a rack of grocery-store bouquets last Mother\u2019s Day, trying to remember if my own mom prefers pink or purple. (She likes lavender, but only when it smells like soap, not perfume. Go figure.)

Roses<\/strong> say \u201cthank you,\u201d especially the soft pink or cream ones. Peonies<\/strong> (if you can find them in early May) whisper \u201cbest wishes\u201d and feel like a hug in bloom. And tulips<\/strong>? They just say \u201cI\u2019m thinking of you\u201d without any fuss\u2014perfect for the mom who keeps things simple.<\/p>\n
