The five designs named for Mom

Five designs in this collection carry Mom in the name. Mother's Sunshine pairs yellow gerberas and light pink roses with lavender snapdragons, daisies and carnations. Marvelous Mom Bouquet leans bold with pink roses and purple Asiatic lilies, while Mother’s Embrace mixes lilies, roses and daisies in hot pink and soft pink. Spectacular Mom Bouquet goes big, with thirty-some roses toned pink, peach, lavender and white and a fill of lilies and baby's breath, all in a single generous size. For the biggest gesture, Designer's Choice - Mother's Day Masterpiece is built in pink, ivory and green from whatever is most impressive at the florist that morning, in nine sizes from Standard to Unbelievable.

Gift ideas for mom through the year

Her birthday calls for her favorite colors, and our birthday flowers for mom gather cheerful choices. In fall, a centerpiece helps when she's the one hosting: Brilliant Autumn Centerpiece sets deep red and bronze mums low around a gold tapered candle, and Harvest Charm Bouquet fits a side table or a smaller dinner. At Christmas, the Traditional Christmas Centerpiece rises with real wax taper candles, meant to be lit with care, and the Christmas Boxwood Tree suits a kitchen counter or entry table. In spring, our Mother's Day flowers collect the May favorites.

Flowers for mother, matched to her taste

Think about how she lives with flowers. A mom who loves bold color will enjoy Timeless Tulips, a rainbow of 15, 20 or 25 tulips finished with a raffia bow. One who prefers classic elegance may like Deluxe Elegance Long Stem Pink Roses, two to four dozen in a tall glass vase. If she'd rather skip trimming stems and changing water, the Double White Orchid Plant can keep blooming for weeks near a bright window out of direct sun. Carnations, often called the traditional Mother's Day flower, appear in Mother's Sunshine and several other designs. Remember the other mother figures too, like an aunt, a grandmother or a mother-in-law; our Mother-in-Law Day flowers are a good place to start.

Gifts for mom: questions

What flower symbolizes a mother?

Carnations are traditionally the flower most tied to mothers. White carnations are often traced to the first Mother's Day observances, and pink carnations are commonly linked with a mother's love. Roses, especially pink ones, are another favorite way to thank Mom, and several bouquets here combine the two.

What do you get a mom who has everything?

Something that doesn't need a shelf. Fresh flowers fill a room for days and then make way, and a card in your own words often means more than another object. If she loves to host, a centerpiece for her table is a gift she'll actually use.

What are low-maintenance flowers for mom?

A potted orchid is one of the easiest. Keep it in bright, indirect light, water it lightly, and it can bloom for weeks. Carnations also hold up well in a vase, and tulips do best with a fresh trim and clean water every few days. See our orchid plants for more.

Can flowers for mom arrive on Mother's Day?

Mother's Day is always the second Sunday in May, and we don't deliver on Sundays. Pick Saturday or any earlier date, and Mom can enjoy them through the holiday weekend. It's one of the busiest holidays for florists, so ordering early is the safe plan.

What is a good flower to give a new mom?

Soft colors and a light scent suit a home with a newborn, so gentle pinks, whites and yellows are popular. Keep the size modest, since counters fill up fast in those first weeks. Our new baby flowers and gifts are made for that moment.
