Mothers Day Flowers (Gifts)

Each year I like to get her something different. There are many flowers to choose from like tulips (one of my favorites), traditional roses, carnations (original mother's day flower), Hyacinth (love the smell) and lilac (another great fragrance). I could go on and on. The colors of flowers have different meanings and the type of flowers have different meanings but what really counts is what is your mom's favorite color and flower.

I like to focus first on my budget. My budget usually ranges between $30.00 to $50.00. I have my favorite online florists. You will have to do some research on your own. I love Google. I can ask it anything and it will spew at least 400,000 pages on my topic. For example if you live in Texas you can search Mothers Day Flowers Texas or Texas Mothers Day Flowers. Ultimately, you can sift through the florist sites.

I look for a florist with a great web site. It tells me that they have put some money in it and of course I love the pictures. I want to be able to talk to the florist or e-mail them in case things change or I need to let them know I am happy or unhappy with the product. In a nutshell make sure there is a telephone number on the web site and an email contact.

This year I am planning on buying her tulips, as she loves tulips. They don't last as long as the carnation but they sure are beautiful. I have read in several places that if you drop a 1/2 an Aspirin it helps the bouquet last longer. I will have to get my mom to try that this year and see how if it makes the flowers last longer. I know that changing the water every day, cutting the ends 1 inch every 4 days really helps. I also read that if you put ice cubes in the water to keep it cool that helps. I think I would only try the ice cube idea if I was going away for a couple of days to keep it cool.

Bottom line, are you ready for the up and coming Mother's day May 10, 2009? Do you know what you're buying or where you're buying your flowers? When should you buy is ultimately up to you but it is better to be earlier to get the greatest selections.

Good luck in buying your Mother's Day Flowers.
