Also, mother love is a subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son (《游子吟》). Children in China grew up with the education of filial devotion.On Mother’s Day, people often give roses or forget-me-nots to their mothers. And, Carnations (康乃馨) are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flowers for mothers.
