Have you ever just completely spaced out on something? You knew something that was really important was coming up but just couldn’t remember what it was? Then it hits you, it’s Mother’s Day. You forgot to send a card. Ok maybe not you, but what about your friend. If they did, what advice would you give them?

Flowers as a gift for Mother’s Day should express more than just a ‘last minute gift’ — which is often the case. Flowers are still a great gift, so long as you get her the type of flowers she likes and not the standard red roses.

Some simple and elegant choices for Mother’s Day flowers are daffodils, carnations, pansies, daisies, violets, honeysuckles, lilies, and other spring blooms. The ideal flower arrangement has several colors and types of flowers that compliment each other. If you don’t think you are good at picking this out, just look for one that seems to be one piece, without being just one type of flower

But where do you get the flowers on short notice? If you live in the same town as your mother, you can go pick them up in person. But what if you live across the country, or half-way around the world? Order flowers online. Seriously. Reliable flower delivery has come a long way in the age of the internet.

An online florist will be able to channel your order directly to a greenhouse grower to your mom’s house or to a shop local to your mother to get her the flowers the same day. But beware, ordering at the last minute on holidays with large demand for flowers (like Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day), prices are going to be much higher than usual. I suppose you can consider it penance for having forgotten Mother’s Day.

You can now help out a friend when he or she finds Mother’s Day is close at hand and needs a quick but thoughtful gift. You can advise them that the gift of flowers is a winner. Or, perhaps you need to send that special bouquet for Mother’s Day yourself, you will know just what to do.
