Flowers in New Zealand are often indigenous and not naturally grown anywhere else in the world due to its unique location and the isolation it has benefited from. This means that often, florists in Auckland and other places have a choice of very exotic blooms which are rare and unusual.
The Calla Lily for example is one of the most popular flowers in New Zealand and is often exported to other countries. Other popular flowers in New Zealand are blooms such as Pieris and Erica which normally grow in New Zealand's colder months. Erica is often used for Mother's Day flowers since they bloom during the month of May. Many florists in New Zealand use the Kiwi and local themes for their floral arrangements. When customers decide to send flowers such as Mother's Day flowers with a New Zealand theme, they can expect to see decorative touches such as local mosses, sea shells and local seasonal flowers. Other local additions such as driftwood found on neighbourhood beaches and local hand woven baskets can also be used for Kiwi themed floral displays. These themed bouquets would suit mothers of all ages and are a universally accepted floral gift for any occasion.

Florists in Auckland have a huge range of flowers to choose from when creating floral displays and bouquets. For their customers who want to send flowers there is a large selection of locally grown, fresh flowers available. Mother's Day flowers prepared by florists can be purchased with a very distinct New Zealand theme. Often florists decorate their bouquets with other local products such as shells, palms and regional ferns. Mother's Day flowers with this national theme can use flowers from Christchurch, mosses from Auckland and exotic flowers from Takapuna.
Since these flowers are not travelling long distances creative flair can be utilised to full effect. For example, orchids can be displayed in delicate, Japanese inspired vases and vibrant sunflowers can be delivered in an eye-catching glass bud vase.
