Do you want to give away flowers for Mother's Day on May 9th?
Then you should follow a few tips so that your favorite bouquet arrives on time.
Do you want to buy your "mom" a pretty bouquet for Mother's Day on May 9th?
Then you should remember during Corona times * that you can be a little less spontaneous this year too.
Which flowers should it be, please?
In the best case scenario, you
already
know
your mother's
favorite
flowers (or find out from someone else in the family).
Even a
colorful bouquet of tulips
in a white or glass vase ensures a good mood at home.
Tip
: Perhaps there is even a field of flowers near you that you can pick yourself - this makes the bouquet even more individual and comes “directly” from you, so to speak.

Popular flowers for giving away on Mother's Day are, for example, gerberas and roses
(the “old” rose varieties, for example “Belle Isis”, are particularly pretty).
The current trend is for very natural-looking bouquets - the colors lavender, pink or purple are popular.
But
top plants
are also a nice alternative - white or purple
orchids
, for example, are simple and suitable as gifts
.
Orders in the flower shop: take longer waiting times into account
Because of the great demand,
orders in the flower shop
should be placed at the beginning of Mother's Day week, says Nicola Fink from the Association of German Florists in a report by the German Press Agency (dpa).
This allows
waiting times to
be shortened
due to hygiene regulations
.
Or you can send the flowers via your favorite florist - then, when it comes to the acceptance deadlines, a look at the shop's homepage often helps.

Mother's Day: Order flowers online - pay attention to the conditions when buying
Anyone who
orders flowers on the Internet
should pay attention to the conditions when buying them.
Shipping, for example, plays a role - this is what consumers should know:
Does the provider deliver on a desired date?
What does this service cost?
If the flowers arrive late despite a firm commitment, the purchase price can be reclaimed.
Mother's Day is a Sunday - however, not all providers deliver on this day.
So pay attention to this when choosing.
No claim that the bouquet looks like the photo
And there is something else that consumers should
know
when
buying flowers on the Internet
- regardless of Mother's Day: There is no fundamental requirement that the
bouquet looks like the one in the pictures
, as dpa also described on the subject.
Often only sample photos of the bouquets to be delivered are shown on the homepages, according to consumer advocates.
Some dealers would also often
reserve the right
to make contractual changes to
mixed bouquets
, depending on the availability of the individual
types of
flowers.
According to the experts, buyers only have a handle if they have given
precise specifications
or the
flowers and the number have been precisely determined
