Jasmine, a symbol of
Mother’s Day.
Florist Nim Ngamdee said her central Pattaya shop
has stocked up on cut jasmine, plants and bouquets for Sunday’s
holiday. Sales have come from youths, but also hotels and department
stores. The shop sources its flowers from Issan and has gotten some
large orders.
Jasmine remains popular as it’s also a symbol of
prosperity. Hundreds of flowers are used to make garlands for
worshipping and its white color and fragrant blossoms are symbols
for motherhood in many Thais eyes.
