I asked16 Mothers of varying ages and occupations what flowers they would most like toreceive on Mothers Day. And here are the results:
| Name | Age | Occupation | Flower | Comments |

| Karen C | 47 | Retired | Lilies | |
| SharonL | 26 | BarPerson | Lilies | |
| Nicola T | 25 | NurseryNurse | PastelRoses | |
| GraceR | 84 | Retired | Freesias | |
| MarionF | 53 | Homemaker | Sunflower(best single flower) | MixedBouquet with plenty of greenery (best bouquet to receive) |
| ChristineH | Ancient(early 40's) | CharteredSurveyor (estates manager) | Freesiasand Roses | *NOTEin the graph below I have given each flower ½ a place each! |
| ChristineJ | 60(However age doesn’t matter unless you’re a cheese!!) | Officemanager, but soon to be retired!!! | Sweetpea – but alas these are not in season on Mother’s Day | Anotherfavourite used to be those paper flowers the children made in class andbrought home to mum from school |

| VictoriaF | 26 | SeniorSecretary | Roses | (abouquet of pinks and creams) |
A break down of the results.
So, despite carnations being the traditional Mothers Day Flower – they did not featureonce! 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!
