An estimated 82 million American mothers receive gifts each Mother's Day, Christmas and birthday — and most of those moms appreciate flowers. Flowers for Mom delivers the perfect floral-related keepsake book that will go straight to a mother's heart. Mothers rarely need extravagance and complexity. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best way to say "I love you, Mom." Flowers for Mom is the first gift book to honor motherhood by comparing Mom's special qualities to those of flowers. Its striking photography illustrates the sentiments on each page, creating a warm and inviting message that mothers will find irresistible. More than 60 images capture the allure, beauty and mother-like characteristics of soft roses, striking sunflowers, blooming cacti, magnificent orchids and woodland wildflowers. Cleverly interwoven through this splendid bouquet is Kuchler's memorable ode to mothers, motherhood and the universal attributes that endear moms to their children, whether they're toddlers buying gifts with Dad's help or grown sons and daughters evermore appreciative of what they've gained from a parent's special influence.
