And may God bless all women for their gifts that God has given them, as His special creation, though some are not mothers you also are honored today for the blessings you bring others through your own special gifts.

Mother's day or Mothering Sunday as the church calls it was at the end of March in the UK.

I remember mothers day in England...our C of E Vicar sent all us choir kids out to pick bunches of primroses from the hedge rows, to give to the mothers the following day at church.

Yes our is late here, no idea why.
And yes, Fathers Day is in about a month.

As Stranger said...over here there is a special day for everything.
Not sure that we have a cats day, or dogs day...but pretty much everything else!! lol

Our church used to give the mums - and all the women - a daffodil.

My sister in law told me long back, that wild primroses and violets were pretty much extinct now in the "hedgerows" of England.
( do the farmers still "hedge and ditch" there )
I think she said they were going to bring the violets back from Canada (where someone about 30 yrs ago smuggled the tiny wild ones over, when they emigrated...illegally) But, thankfully they are trying to repopulate England once again from them.

Not sure if she read it or saw it on TV.

I think some land owners still do hedging and ditching - I learned about hat in school. And we have primroses in our garden and there is a bank of them in our park. I have never seen violets growing wild but again, we have loads in our garden all self-seeded from one tiny plant. I always used to buy my grandma a little bunch of violets on mothers day and she'd always pin it to her dress. Never see them for sale any more.

Violet was even a common name for girls, years ago.

And Rose, Daisy, Iris, Poppy etc.

And Rose, Daisy, Iris, Poppy etc.

Yes, indeed. Not quite as popular now among Westerners, it seems. Among Chinese women -as an extra Western name to their Chinese one- these examples seem still to be popular.

Very few roses have any fragrance today.
