This is because white carnation typifies virtues of motherhood, and its whiteness represents purity, faithfulness and love.
Pink carnation is a popular flower for Mother's Day, as it can be traced back to the belief that they appeared on earth from the Virgin Mary's tears, thus becoming the symbol of a mother's undying love.
