She’s not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom. Sure, sending mom flowers for Mother’s Day may seem about as groundbreaking as using a “cool mom” Mean Girls reference, but sometimes you have to give the people what they want, and what they want right now are pretty flowers and not-so-subtle allusions that take them back to yesteryear. (Not mad about it.) These seven places to buy flowers for Mother’s Day offer arrangements that are anything but ordinary, and there are options at every price point.
1. Floom
Browse floral arrangements designed by a curated selection of independent florists on Floom. Because the arrangements are designed by local artisans, selections and prices vary by location, and the blooms never look generic. You can order up to four weeks ahead, and same-day delivery options are also available.

3. Bloomscape
If your mom has a green thumb, try Bloomscape—the company will ship live plants right to her door. It has a large selection of both indoor and outdoor plants, including this adorable bromeliad pineapple ($65) that comes with its own pot. Prices start at $25 for ready-to-plant petunias and can go up to $195 for something like an extra large ficus tree, but there are many options in the under-$100 range.

4. FlowerBx
Simple doesn’t necessarily mean boring, as evidenced by the gorgeous arrangements of a single type of flower—think Italian ranunculus, peonies, and snapdragons—from FlowerBx. (Seriously, they’re absolutely stunning in a vase and sure to get an IRL heart eyes emoji reaction). You can also gift mom a flower subscription, available as a weekly or monthly delivery.
Shop now: Primrose Peony, $135 and up

The Sill is known for its beautiful array of live plants that can be delivered across the U.S., but if mom doesn’t really have a green thumb there are also several limited-edition DIY floral bouquet kits available. Just be sure to place your order by Friday, April 30 to ensure your order arrives in time for Mother’s Day.
