Mother's Day: Yes, it's still about the flowers

At Artistic Floral in Edina late last week, the orders came in fast and furious: tulips, snapdragons, lilies, orchids. “The real gardeny stuff,” said owner Shawn Davis, who makes about 16 percent of total sales around Mother’s Day. While it may feel like a Hallmark holiday, the event that always falls on the second Sunday in May gained widespread acceptance in 1914, when a proclamation from President Woodrow Wilson called on Americans to give mothers a public expression of reverence. The tradition was first championed in 1908 by Anna Jarvis, a Civil War-era peacenik and social activist from West Virginia who later was said to be disgusted by the commercialization of the day. http://www.startribune.com/mother-s-day-yes-it-s-still-about-the-flowers/378447601/
