International Mother's Day - 13 May
"We only have One Mom, One Mommy, One Mother in this World, One life. Don't wait for the Tomorrows to tell Mom, you love her". Across the world Mothers have a special day. In Europe most countries honour their mothers on the second Sunday in May as do the Americans.
This year International Mother's Day is on Sunday 13th May 2007. Mother's day is the occasion to pay rich tributes to the person who have had a great impact on our lives, a person whose love and care knows no boundaries, a person who does everything to keep her children happy and joyous.
Flowers are always a special gift to mothers around the world on Mother's Day although no gift in the world even equals the services rendered by a mother to her child. Indeed no other gift serves better as the flowers do on the Mother's Day to convey special thanks for all her love care for us.

"Silver Kiss" - romantic decoration from Interflora
By tradition on February 14, the Silver Rain Radio arranged a festive event in the Hermitage Garden for its listeners. A month earlier, a The Most Homeless Pair in Love contest arranged by Alexander Gordon got underway. The contest winners were supposed to spend a romantic night in the radio station office. Finalists had to pass a number of tests: they searched for their beloved tally blindfold, painted each other's portraits, and even waltzed with skis on!
As a result of the audience voting by way of the loudest applause, the worthiest pair was elected, and after the traditional mass Silver Kiss that crowned the holiday in the Hermitage Garden, a poshy automobile brought the winners to the Silver Rain office. Interflora created a romantic atmosphere decorating the room with its nice flower compositions and mosaiced a rose petal heart on the bed that was solemnly presented to the winners later.
