不對，玫瑰更多情況下表示愛情。
不對，百合雖然很高雅但不是同母親節聯系得那么緊密。
不對。 雖然不少人認為牡丹是中國的國花，但它和母親節沒有直接關聯。
不錯，在中國康乃馨是母親節的一種象征，常被作為獻給母親的花。這種概念似乎更多地沿襲了美國的母親節傳統。注意，英美兩國的母親節日期不同。

不對，因為這句成語表達的是一個人過于注重細節，而忽視了整體。
選擇正確。這就見樹不見林的意思，指一個人過于注重細節，而忽視了整體。
很遺憾。Can not see the forest for its trees是一個成語，其意思不是短見。
不對。Can not see the forest for its trees是一個成語，和一個人能不能看到問題的實質沒有關系。
