In May 1934, the United States issued the first commemorative stamp for Mother's Day. On the stamp, a kind mother, hands on her lap, looked happily at a bunch of bright and beautiful carnations in a vase in front of her. With the spread of stamps, the Mother's Day is associated with carnations in many people's minds, and carnations have become a symbol of maternal love flowers, respected by people.
