Question: where is a good place to buy mother's day flowers in the beaverton/portland area?

Answer #1
Hey there, if you go to 800 flowers or pro flowers website, they will deliver flowers to your mom from local florists. I do it all the time for my mom for special occasion where she lives. The website is below and they have a great selection.

http://www.1800flowers.com

http://www.proflowers.com (pro flowers is my favorite...the flowers last much longer)

I agree with the previous answer, although I'd caution you to order flowers delivered in a box (which is how pro flowers and the 1-800-flowers products marked "fresh from our growers come)--if you're concerned with making an immediate impression. Often, flowers that come in a box need to be taken out of the box, cleaned, arranged, cut, and put into water. Often they come still budded, so it takes a few days for them to open up. Don't expect them to be presentable immediately--it's like buying green bananas at the supermarket...they last a long time, but they might not taste their best the first day you get them.If you want to make an immediate impression, I'd say stick with florist delivered flowers. 1-800-flowers has these (look for product marked "hand delivered by a local florist), as well as companies like teleflora. You can also use yellowpages.com to find a local florist in that area--although the benefit of going through one of the 'big' flower companies is that they'll fight for you in case something goes wrong--they generally have strict guidelines for accepting florists into their network. I wrote to someone else that I'd recommend getting the flowers a few days before Mother's Day--even on Friday or Saturday. The rush on Sunday will be so great that if you buy earlier, you'll almost certainly get a much better product. Good luck!
