Mothers day falls on the 22nd of March this year and as such there is little time left to choose the perfect gift for your mum! While you might be tempted to quickly head to the local supermarket and pick up a cheap bunch of flowers, you still have time to find the ideal flowers and have them delivered to your mum's home.
Rather than sticking to conventional flowers such as roses or tulips, why not send something a bit more exotic and individual this year? By choosing flowers that are less widely known and yet always appreciated, you can send a distinctive and attractive display of flowers that your mum will love.
A vibrant bouquet of lilies, iris, gerberas and proteas make for a striking display that brings a colourful and lively look to any room. By combining bright yellows, pinks, purples and reds you receive a truly stunning bouquet that looks fantastic.
For a more refined, yet exotic look why not try a mix of Pacific flowers. Shipped from overseas chilled to remain fresh, there is a whole range of flowers that are unusual and not native to England. Leucadendrons, chocolate anthuriums, lilies and willow combine to make a striking, unique and stylish arrangement of flowers that your mums of all ages will be happy to receive.
You can even add an exotic twist to conventional flowers such as roses, by choosing varieties that are unusual and unique, in colours that are not your standard red or pink! By choosing varieties of roses that will really catch your mother's eye, in vibrant colours or with two opposing tones within the same flower, such as cream and striking deep red, you will make a real impact this mother's day.
For a true gift from paradise to send your mum this mother's day, there is no flower more exotic than the Birds of Paradise. Their unusual tropical look really brings about feelings of hot weather in a wild oasis and wonderful tropical holidays. Their vibrancy and colours will cheer mums and bring a smile to their faces!
With its bright yellow to orange flowers, and remarkable shape, Birds of Paradise are one of the most beautifully exotic flowers available. Their leaves are large and somewhat similar to a banana leaf, forming a fan of green foliage.
When presented as a hand tied bouquet, perfect for a tall vase, Birds of Paradise make a wonderful mother's day gift, however they are also available in a stylish ceramic container, which not only looks fantastic but also ensures that your mother doesn't have to worry about finding a suitable container to match these truly exotic flowers.
No matter what type of exotic flowers you send to your mum, she is sure to love the vibrancy they offer. Their out of the ordinary striking looks will make for a memorable and truly unique gift.
And with such a great variety of flowers to pick from, originating from locations all over the world - choosing exotic Mothers Day Flowers is not only practical, it also allows you to add a new and exciting twist to the time honoured mother's day gift of flowers.
Mothers Day Flower Deliveries
While not all of us can go the $100 route and spoil Mom with 2 DOZEN ROSES, I'd suggest that it's money well spent on your wife!
Now she's not YOUR Mother, but she IS the MOST IMPORTANT Mother in your life! This is her one day of the year to really have the day off and feel special, and a display of 18 arranged roses in a vase would make any Mother swoon! And swoonin' is good for the Daddy's too!
How to Take Care of Mothers Day: The EASY WAY !
So many choices are available for Mother's Day Flowers this year. With the many on-line vendors the choices are endless. I've been scouring the internet searching for some of the best deals around. Ah the joys of retired life!
Here's what my Mother's Day Flower Research Found...
After HOURS of labor intensive searching here's the best of what I've uncovered. There are 25 different arrangements of Discount Mothers Day Flowers for under $50. So for what you would spend taking her and the kids to a crowded resturant for breakfast or brunch, she can have something far more memorable. Flowers make a great impact when arranged as elegantly as these are. And if your wife works, by all means have them delivered to her on the job. I worked in an office for 35 years, NEVER did I see the entire office stop the way it did when a flower delivery man walked in.
Can't you just picture the jaw dropping surprise when they announce the flowers are for her! All her co-workers will corral around her to see what they look like, who they are from, and what the card says. It's a real chance to shine. I've signed my kid's names when they were little; got to my wife everytime. You can hear those women now, "My husband would never do that for me." "Mine just takes me to breakfast, big deal." "Yeah well my superstar stops at the grocery store and gets those lame 3 for $12 dollar deals, where's the effort in that?" Next they will start telling your wife how lucky she is to have a husband as thoughtful as you. It's a double bang for your Mothers Day buck.
When she calls you, you'll be able to hear how choked up she is. She'll be flabergasted that you thought to send her flowers this beautiful, and from the kids. She will be singing your praises, telling you how you really went all out this year. How you didn't have to do that, but how happy she is that you did!
Now you can afford to spoil her! For the same price as a night out at the movies you can make this the most special Mothers Day yet. I was happy to find such an economical site, as I have not only my wife, my mother, two daughters, and a daughter in law who are all mothers. Three of which live close together, so lucky for me the variety is really remarkable!
Ornate and long lasting lily arrangements for $42.95. A stunning white rose and lily combination set in a blue glass vase for $46.95. They also have the traditional rose bouquets, a glass vase spilling over with pink and red full roses for $49.95. If you think your wife would enjoy something a little more exotic they even offer orchids for under $50. Orchids are not only precious and rare, but they last for weeks!
Prices on this site begin at $39.95, and go up to $49.95. They do have a link to another site with more selection. Prices there range from $49.95-$99.95 for the bigger arrangements. They have 10 different sets of long stem roses arranged in a vase in many colors for $59.99. Expect to pay a bit more for the exotics, orchids, and lilies as they will last through the month of May! In my opinion, worth the extra $20 to keep my gift on the counter and keep her smilin' at me the whole month long.
But I realize $20 can be a lot too many of us, so there are the beautiful mixed arrangements for $49.95. Hope this is helpful to ya'll, and I'll update you again if I come across some economical Mothers Day gifts.
