Mother’s Day is a recognized holiday in many countries that acknowledges and celebrates mothers for all the hard work they do in raising their children, and this has come to include more than only human kids. Many people choose to use the day to honor mothers of children of the furry, feathered and even scaly varieties, too!

Pet-Friendly Plants and Petals for Pet Moms

Here are some safe and stunning plant gifts for Mother’s Day that pets can be around:

 

Alstroemeria

Also called Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, alstroemeria are actually safe for your furry friends to be around! If your pet parent is partial to pink, the Jumping for Joy bouquet will be ideal, or say ‘yes’ to yellow with the Sweetest Sunrise bouquet.

 

Orchids

These blooms require a bit of extra care, but that’s not a problem for lots of pet moms! We have a wide array of gorgeous exotic blooms that are perfect for mom and pet alike. Consider the Opulent Orchids for fans of a classic white flower and the Imperial Purple Orchid for people who prefer purple.

 

Daisies

Commonly associated with joy and cheerfulness, daisies are sure to bring a smile to your pet mom’s face this Mother’s Day. We love the brightness and fun of the dazzling yellow Sweet as a Daisy arrangement and the patterned Polka Dots and Posies bouquet.

 

Roses

With so many different colors, each with their own unique meaning, some roses are just right as a pet mom gift! The pink hues of the Make Me Blush bouquet symbolize gratitude and admiration, while Rosy Glow. bouquet’s yellow tones represent friendship, and what are pets if not best friends?

 

Violets

These lovely blooms are a particularly good pick for people who love purple. Originally from Africa, these flowers are often listed as safe for pets. We have several arrangements containing violets, and you can choose from ones presented in a basket like the Violets and Butterflies and Sweet Violet Trio, or the Splendid Violets plant which arrives in a mesmerizing hand-painted ceramic vase.

 

Boston Fern

If your pet mom likes plants more than she does flowers, this will be ideal for her. Our Heartwarming Thoughts fern is exhibited in a classic Gardens of Grace container that will keep it safe and sturdy for many months until it needs repotting.

 

Caution: Keep These Toxic Plants Out of Your Pet’s Reach

Lilies aren’t safe for cats (even inhaling the pollen can seriously harm them), but they’re bad for dogs, too. You should also keep poinsettias, tulips, irises, daffodils, chrysanthemums, aloe vera and eucalyptus away from critters. Check out our more comprehensive list of toxic and dangerous plants here.

No matter which of these pet-friendly Mother’s Day plants or flowers you choose, you’ll be guaranteed that Mom will love her gift and her pet will, too!
