Mother's Day Official Flower

Mother's Day was first promoted in 1908 when Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia presented five hundred carnations to friends and her neighbors on the anniversary of her own mother's death.

This simply beginning ultimately resulted in the official designation of the day by Congress in 1914.
