Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Hydrangea
A Taurus mom is usually the powerful backbone of her family, and she's particularly deserving of a gorgeous flower that'll appeal to her elegant sensibilities. While the hydrangea may look delicate, its strength comes from being made up of a bunch of smaller flowers. Your mom also has unseen might that should be acknowledged more often.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Chrysanthemum
Cancer moms are the most caring, empathetic people you'll ever meet, which unfortunately can also mean that they soak up everyone else's emotions like a sponge. To bring some joy to her this mother's day, try giving her a radiant chrysanthemum. It'll brighten up her day and help her to dispel any negative energy she's picked up along the way.
