Send Flowers for Mother’s Day
Send flowers! If you’re not sure what to get your mom or another special woman in your life for Mother’s Day this year, you really can’t go wrong with a flower or plant delivery. A fresh bouquet of buds or potted green plant is sure to brighten their day. And that special feeling can last weeks if you choose the right flower and plant delivery service that provides healthy and beautifully arranged stems. Here are our favorite ways to send flowers.
Don’t forget to add a card! Here are the cutest cards for birds lovers.
Send Flowers: Urban Stems
Whether you’re looking for red roses, a minimalist white bouquet or a potted Blue Bell Fern (known as the Love Fern), Urban Stems has a wide selection with prices starting around $35. Next-day nationwide delivery is available (phew). The company also offers a subscription service if you want to regularly treat yourself or your sweetheart with fresh flowers to make any day special.

Send Flowers: Pro Flowers
Send flowers on a budget with Pro Flowers. This floral and plant company has a selection of high quality goods for under $40. We’re partial to the lavender fields mixed bouquet that consists of white Asiatic Lilies, purple Super Select Alstroemeria and purple Button Pom. Send it without a vase and you’ll have room in the budget to add an order of Belgian chocolate-covered strawberries. Yum!

Send Flowers: Terrain
If you’ve got a gardener in your life, they might like a floral bouquet but LOVE a delivery of potted flowers or bulbs—like lilies, hyacinth, dahlia, peonies and more—that can be planted in the garden for a seasonal reminder of your love. Terrain also has unique floral-adjacent offerings like quince branches that will bloom for about two weeks, and fresh heather wreaths that dry on the door into spring.
