I am a mother and I think I would prefer to get the flowers on the actual day
that mother's day is celebrated. It would be a nice surprise.

One "trade secret" that surprisingly few people know about is that during
Mother's Day and Valentine's Day it's actually best to get your flowers sent a
few days in advance. This is because of simple supply-and-demand--there is only
a limited supply of flowers during this period grown by all the flower farms in
South America, Europe, and the US, and they go very quickly. This is also why
prices for roses go up prior to Mother's Day and Valentine's Day--it's not
"price gouging" as many people think...it's really to try to slow down the
demand so flower companies can fulfill as many orders as possible. Personally,
what I like to do is get flowers delivered to *me* a couple days in advance. I
clean them, prepare the vase and the flower food, and arrange them myself, and
then hand-deliver them myself on the holiday (see the link below, which provides
some good advice). This way, I'm assured of having the best quality flowers, and
I'm not competing with thousands of others trying to compete for the last
wilting rose on Sunday itself. If you order florist flowers, I'd recommend
getting them delivered on a Friday. If you order flowers delivered by UPS or
Fedex, I'd suggest getting them up to 7 days in advance--this is because those
flowers often come in bud form, and are hardly presentable--you need to cut them
and arrange them in warm water for them to open up. Bottom line--in general, the
earlier you order the flowers, the more likely you'll get the highest quality
ones, whether from a local florist or from a company that delivers flowers in a
box.
