Traditionally, it was a white carnation to honor & remember the deceased mother of Miss Anna Jarvis (who also happened to found Mother's Day). Now both white & red carnations are used - red to honor mothers who are still alive.

There are more than one traditional flower given to mothers on Mother's Day, depending on the country.

In Australia, for example, chrysanthemums are traditionally given on this occasion, as chrysanthemums are in season at the same time that Mother's Day falls, in Australia's Autumn. Also, they end in the word "Mum", which is the name Australians give to their mothers. In the United States, on the other hand, carnations are commonly given on Mother's Day.
