* Order early. Mother's Day is the busiest time of year for a florist.
* If you order online, don't rely on random banner-ad offers that promise same-day delivery. Work with a local florist and a name you can trust to ensure satisfaction.
* Seek advice from your neighborhood florist; they have the experience and design skills to deliver memorable bouquets.
* Send flowers that 'fit' her personality - Classic: Roses -- for Mother's day there is a wide range of rose colors, from pink and lavender to peach, blush and yellow. - Exotic: Orchids -- both fresh cut and an orchid plant make ideal gifts. Dendrobium, Cymbidiums, Phalaenopsis and Cattleya orchids will amaze mom. - Hip/Cool: Gerbera daisies -- in every color imaginable; mix and match these sunny blossoms to your delight - Traditional: Carnations -- the traditional flower of Mother's day since the holiday's founder made her mother's favorite flower the "official" flower symbol of the holiday.
* Make Mother's Day last. Order flowers in a high-quality, limited-edition crystal keepsake container, such as Teleflora's premium quality Galway Irish Crystal basket.
* Don't disappoint Mom by buying the 'direct-from-the-grower' flowers that arrive unarranged in an overnight shipping box. She works hard all year; don't make her arrange her own gift.
* Don't forget your grandmother, aunt, sister and other special women in your life. They will all love the gift of flowers!
