Here at Al’s Florist, we’re gearing up for Mother’s Day, a special time of year when everyone gains an even greater appreciation for the fine gift that s make. These beauties were born to be Mother’s Day gifts; fragrant, complex, nourishing and beautiful, s are all around us and yet feel rare and exceptional. They’ve been prized since ancient times for their life-giving qualities and their aesthetic appeal. We simply can’t live without them in the grand scheme of things. It makes sense to give something so invaluable to the women we feel the same way about.

Given the season, there is a wealth of beautiful s available for gifting. Bring a bit of knowledge about your recipient into the selection process, and you’ll do just fine. Start with favorite blossoms, then consider color, then shape. You may want to offer the mom who usually has only a clutch of s on the able a vase full of showy blooms, or give the fan of tulips a design featuring them in colors she’s never had before. A garden-inspired, seasonal mix is always a winner, in our book. Watercolors is that piece.

We love the greenery here, which gives the design its interesting scale. A bulb or two of hydrangea is all you need for texture, and peach roses peek out alongside vivid calla lily. This look is modern, fresh and romantic, sure to be embraced by the mom who is lucky enough to receive it.
