A story of flowers celebrating family

When you think of Mother's Day, you might have a strong image of carnations.

In America, red carnations are given to mothers if they are still alive, and white carnations if they have passed away.

In fact, there is a flower that is said to be a symbol of Father's Day.

It's roses. It originated from Sonora, who invented Father's Day, offering white roses on the grave of her late father. In America, if your father is still alive, you give him red roses, and if he has passed away, you give him white roses. In Japan, yellow flowers have somehow become the symbol of Father's Day due to the "Yellow Ribbon Campaign" for Father's Day.
