Blooms that make great gifts for Father's Day

Parenting is anything but a cakewalk. Embracing and celebrating motherhood has become a global phenomenon now. However, in this hustle and bustle, let's not forget the role of the father. Father's Day is one such celebration that honors our fathers and forefathers. 

This day, though not celebrated with the same grandeur as the Mother's Day, still holds importance globally. People usually celebrate this by giving gifts and holding family gatherings.

Different countries hold this celebration on different dates. The third Sunday in June is usually considered as Father's Day. It was first observed on this date in the USA and then took off to many other nations.

It was President Lyndon Johnson, who made Father's Day a holiday to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June in 1966. It was officially recognized in 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
