It’s hard to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift (especially if you’ve left shopping until the last minute), but FTD’s floral and gifting expert, Michael Skaff, is here to help with floral gift ideas for every kind of mom:

The Empty Nester – Bonsai Plant: A bonsai requires a notable amount of time and attention, making it an ideal gift for the mom whose kids have flown the coop. Example: Stunning Summits Green Mound Juniper Bonsai

The Home Cook – Oregano or Rosemary Plant: These plants are multipurpose – they’re pretty to look at it and provide a supply of fresh herbs for the mom who loves to cook meals from scratch. Example: Spice of Life Oregano Plant

The Fashionista – Floral Arrangements Featuring Purple: Radiant Orchid is Pantone’s 2014 Color of the Year. For the on-trend mom, a bouquet featuring rich shades of purple will make the perfect, aesthetically pleasing gift. Example: The FTD® Sweet Devotion™ Bouquet

The Mom On-the-Go – Orchid: These perennial plants are low maintenance and typically live for years. They require little care and bloom with gorgeous flowers every season, making them the no-fuss gift that keeps on giving. Example: Smithsonian Dream’s Discovery Phalaenopsis Orchid
