It's Friday Before Mother's Day: Here's Exactly What's Still Available, What Delivery Slots Are Left, and What to Do in the Next 48 Hours

It is Friday, May 9. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11. You have 48 hours.

If you are reading this, you are either: (a) the person who meant to order on Monday and kept saying “I’ll do it tomorrow,” (b) the person who just realized Mother’s Day is THIS Sunday, not next Sunday, or (c) the person who has been planning all along and wants to know if Saturday delivery is still available. All three of you: keep reading. We have answers.

🌺 What’s Still Available (Honest Inventory)

Here is the truth about what is in our cooler right now, Friday morning:

Roses: ✅ Yes. Multiple colors. Red, pink, white, lavender, peach. Roses are the most reliably available flower on Mother’s Day weekend because we order heavily and they hold well. You can get roses.
Lilies: ✅ Yes. Oriental and Asiatic varieties in pink and white. Classic Mother’s Day flower. Dramatic and fragrant. Note: toxic to cats — tell us if Mom has cats and we will substitute.
Hydrangeas: ✅ Yes, limited. Large, full, excellent value. White, blue, pink, and green. When they are gone, they are gone.
Carnations and stock: ✅ Yes. Abundant, long-lasting, fragrant (stock especially). These are the unsung heroes of Mother’s Day — beautiful, affordable, and they last 10–14 days in a vase.
Peonies: ⚠️ Limited to gone. If we have any left, they are spoken for or will sell out today. If you specifically want peonies, call us immediately — do not order online, call — and we will tell you honestly whether we can include them.
Garden roses: ⚠️ Limited. Premium varieties may be sold out. Standard premium roses are still available.
Ranunculus: ❌ Likely gone. Season is ending and Mother’s Day week cleaned out our supply.
Sunflowers, gerbera daisies, alstroemeria: ✅ Yes. Cheerful, colorful, great for the $35–$50 price range.

The bottom line: We have flowers. Lots of them. The premium/specialty stems are thin, but the core inventory — roses, lilies, hydrangeas, stock, carnations, daisies, and seasonal stems — is strong. You can absolutely get a beautiful Mother’s Day arrangement right now.

💡 Designer’s Choice Is Your Best Move

If you are ordering today or tomorrow, the single best thing you can do is order designer’s choice. Here is why:

Our designers use whatever is freshest and most beautiful in the cooler right now — not locked into a recipe that might include a flower that sold out yesterday.
Designer’s choice arrangements are consistently our best work because the designer has creative freedom.
You tell us the budget and the vibe (“soft and elegant,” “bright and cheerful,” “classic pink and white”) and we handle the rest.
You will get more flower for your dollar because we are not substituting expensive stems to match a specific recipe — we are using what is abundant and gorgeous.

🚚 Delivery: What’s Left

Saturday May 10 delivery:

Slots are filling but not full. If you order by Friday evening, we can get you a Saturday delivery in most of our service area.
Morning delivery windows (before noon) are likely full. Afternoon windows are still available.
Saturday is our biggest delivery day of the year — our drivers are running maximum routes. We will get there. It may be afternoon rather than morning.

Sunday May 11 (Mother’s Day) delivery:

We offer Sunday Mother’s Day delivery. Capacity is limited. Order by Saturday morning to guarantee a Sunday slot.
Morning delivery is the goal — Mom gets the flowers when the day starts, not when it is almost over.
If Sunday delivery is full, we will let you know and offer alternatives (Saturday delivery or shop pickup).

Same-day Friday delivery:

Yes, if you order before noon today. We can build and deliver this afternoon. This is actually a power move — Mom gets flowers on Friday AND whatever you have planned for Sunday. Two-day Mother’s Day. She will remember this.

🏪 Saturday Walk-In: Grab and Go

If you do not want to deal with delivery at all, come to the shop Saturday morning:

We will have grab-and-go bouquets ready — pre-made, wrapped, and priced. Pick one up, pay, walk out. Two minutes.
We will also have pre-made vase arrangements in several price ranges ($35, $50, $65, $75+). First come, first served.
Potted plants and orchids will be available for walk-in customers.
Arrive early. The best selections are available before 10 AM. By noon, the grab-and-go display is picked over. By early afternoon, it may be gone.

Walk-in is the no-stress option for people who want to hand-deliver. You pick it up Saturday, bring it to Mom on Saturday or Sunday, and the flowers are as fresh as anything we would deliver.

🌱 The Backup Plan

If cut flower arrangements are completely sold out by the time you get to us (unlikely on Friday, possible on Saturday afternoon), here are your backup options:

Potted orchids. A premium phalaenopsis orchid in a decorative pot is an elegant, long-lasting gift. Lasts weeks or months with minimal care. We almost always have orchids available even when cut flowers sell through.
Hanging baskets. Fuchsia, petunia, calibrachoa — gorgeous, outdoor-ready, and they bloom all summer. If Mom has a porch or patio, a hanging basket is a gift that keeps giving until October.
Blooming plants. Potted hydrangeas, potted roses, peace lilies, African violets. Living gifts that last far beyond the weekend.
A plant + a card + your presence. If everything else fails: buy whatever living plant we have left, write a genuine card, and show up. Your presence on Mother’s Day is the gift. The plant is just the thing you are holding when she opens the door.

📝 Don’t Forget the Card

You are in a hurry. You are going to skip the card message and write “Happy Mother’s Day.” Do not do this. Take 30 seconds and write something real:

“Mom — thank you for everything. Still. Always. Happy Mother’s Day. Love, [name].”
“You deserve more than flowers but this is a start. I love you. Happy Mother’s Day.”
“[Distance] miles away but thinking of you today. These are until I can hug you in person.”

The card is half the gift. Thirty seconds of honesty on a card will mean more to her than the $75 arrangement it is attached to.

⏰ What to Do Right Now

Stop reading. Do one of these things in the next five minutes:

Order online for Saturday or Sunday delivery. Designer’s choice, $50–$75, soft pinks or bright colors or whatever she likes. Include the card message. Done.

Set an alarm for tomorrow morning to come to the shop for grab-and-go. Early. Before 10 AM.

You have 48 hours. That is enough. But only if you act now — not after lunch, not tonight, not tomorrow morning when the Saturday slots might be full. Now.
