Colourful Wheel of Edible Primulas
If you answered mostly A...
Your Mum can juggle it all! Your Mum loves trying new things and mingling with lots of new people. Nothing seems to phase her and she is happy to go with the flow. We would suggest getting Mum a Mother’s Day Edible Flower Selection Wheel. You can decorate until your hearts’ content with this one and you’ll be sure to find a surprise in there that she will love. This edible flower wheel is bright, colourful and perfect for the occasion.

If you answered mostly B...
Your Mum is sweet and caring! She is conscious of other people’s feelings and sometimes she can work a little too hard, which leads her to feeling stressed but not expressing herself! We recommend treating Mum to a cake decorated with Viola flowers this Mother’s Day. They possess a velvety texture with a slightly sweet flavour – the perfect treat for Mum. They’re reminiscent of a wintergreen – staying vibrant in colour even through the wintery months, ideal if she’s wishing she was away in a winter wonderland!

If you answered mostly C...
Your Mum really goes with the flow! Your Mum’s flavour palette is varied and can go from intense to more mild flavours. This is similar in her day-to-day – she is often bold in her decisions, but this can result in her getting stressed. If your Mum needs a break this Mother’s Day but craves some flavoursome food, Dianthus edible flowers are a great choice. With bright colours from lilacs to reds and flavours going from sweet to spicy, dianthus is a great surprise for Mum this Mother’s day. Why not treat her to breakfast in bed decorated with these beautiful edible flowers?!

If you answered mostly D...
Your Mum is bold! She loves tart citrus flavours and is incredibly courageous – she is always putting herself out there! We know the perfect flower that will be just right for your Mums taste and bold personality – Tagetes. Also known as Marigolds, edible Tagetes lift any plate or cake with bright yellow and orange colours, and even brighter flavours. With a citrus taste, edible Tagetes will set off any lemon drizzle loaf you bake this Mother’s Day. Tiny Tagetes sprinkled over the top would act as a beautiful decoration, as would dried edible Tagetes.

If your answers were a little bit of everything...
Don’t panic! We recommend using some Mimulus (or MUMulus!) edible flowers. Each flower is unique in bold and pale colours and spotted petals. Mum’s eyes will be mesmerised and they can be used to decorate and garnish absolutely anything. These delicate little flowers will set off any breakfast in bed, cake, starter, main course, drink or dessert! Make Mother’s Day special this year and serve up beautiful dishes that she’ll be proud of.
