This year, I decided to deviate from the norm and get my mum paper flowers instead of fresh flowers for Mother’s Day! I hope that my mum will appreciate them. I saw these potted orchid flowers by my friend Miss Petal and Bloom and I just loved them! Plus these flowers will last longer so maybe I’ll get to see them when I go back next year. I always felt a little sad that I’ll never get to see the fresh flowers my mum got from me every time I send them to her.
Here’s a picture from the website, you should definitely check out her other flowers too! She does weddings and flower making workshops among other things.
Here’s the mother’s day note I wrote for my mum, hope it’s not too cheesy xD
亲爱的妈咪，
母亲节快乐！今年女儿送的花比往年特别，是胡姬花、像妈咪一样漂亮高贵。这盆花也不会凋谢、好让妈咪长久的保留着。这样妈咪想念女儿的时候，就可以看着我送的胡姬花而感到欣慰。希望下次我回家的时候，我们能一起欣赏这美丽盛开的花朵。
我人虽在美国、但依然会想念你跟爸爸。希望你们继续健康快乐、青春永驻！
