Flowerbud.com’s Cheat Sheet for Mother’s Day

Lake Oswego, Ore. — May 1, 2009 — Mac and cheese. Live and learn. Siegfried and Roy. Some things just go together. With Mother’s Day coming up, here’s your chance to make another perfect pairing: Mom and flowers.  

Now, for some this may be easier said than done. We understand. A bouquet is great, but what kind of flowers should go in the bouquet? It’s an age-old question that has long bedeviled sons and daughters. Too many have found themselves panic stricken in the last-minute gift scramble, not a situation we wish on anyone.

So, this Mother’s Day,
Flowerbud.com is coming to the rescue. Thanks to a special “cheat sheet” on our web site devoted to your predicament, this year’s purchase will be a snap. All you have to do is identify the type of mom you have, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Mom-in-Law ― You ditched the “law” part long ago. These days she’s your greatest ally, your biggest fan and your secret weapon. And she chose you to share her secret lasagna recipe with. That alone makes her deserving of the amazingly beautiful
Orchid in a Pot.  $99.00. (Shipping included with all orders).

Mom-to-Be ― She’s irritable, tired, nauseated and just a little frustrated at how difficult it’s become to just get into the car with that unwieldy bump she’s carrying. So give her a break and cheer her up by reminding her of the bright side of motherhood with a happy bunch of
Gerbera Daisies. $79.00 for 20.

Grandmom ― Well, there’s all she did for your mom, who turned out pretty awesome.  But don’t forget that whole lifetime’s worth of wisdom thing ― and of course the last-minute babysitting. For that and everything else she does, she deserves a standing ovation and a hearty bunch of
Mother’s Day Pink Roses. $89.00 (subject to market).

Your Earthy Wife ― For the nature-loving, organic-buying, garden-shear-wielding mom, try the
Fairy Godmother Bouquet (an armful of Stargazer Lilies plus pink and white Gerbera Daisies). $79.00.

Soccer Mom ― Always pedal-to-the-metal, this mom is Fan No. 1 ― forever on call to pick up, drop off, feed and cheer on her little athletes. For seeing nothing but dirty uniforms and the inside of her SUV, she deserves something extra pretty. Try the super sweet Mother’s Day
Pink Tulips (40 pink Tulips nestled in Salal greens for $89.00.

Den Mother ― You know her, she’s the one always ready with a smile, a plate of cookies and the best hugs going. You might not even be her kid, but after years of spreading the love, she deserves a little coming her way. How about a block-party-sized gift in the form of a continuity program like the aptly named “
Monthly Splendor,” $81.00 x 12 months.

Les Artiste Maman ― Up to her elbows spinning clay, knee-deep in yarn or charcoal-smudged over her next portrait, this tirelessly creative mom would Van Gogh wild for the colorful palette in
Mark’s Spring Special, a veritable spring medley of Hyacinths, Dutch Irises and Tulips. $99.00.
