My mother has always been very particular about Mother's Day and about flowers. When it comes to getting Mothers Day flowers for her, as you can imagine, great caution has to be taken. There are only certain flowers she likes, certain arrangement style she likes, and even certain wrapping paper that she likes. In general she is not a fussy person, and even about flowers she is not rude. However, if the flowers are not fresh you can hear the displeasure in her voice. This is why ordering flowers online has always seemed completely out of the question for me.
The problem is that this Mother's Day I was going to be out of town. I knew that I couldn't order flowers online, but I didn't know exactly how to do things. I figured that I would trust my sister to buy flowers for both of us. She has always been pretty responsible about stuff like that, and she knows our mother's tastes every bit as well as I do. Unfortunately, she got sick on Mother's Day. She was running a high fever, and she had to stay in all day. That was why, at the last minute, I decided to order flowers online.

Spirit of her I love,
Whispering to me,
Stories of sweet visions, as I rove,
Here stop, and crop with me
Sweet flowers that in the still hour grew,

Ordering flower online was really an act of last resort for me. I was sure that they would not get the order correct, especially at the last minute. I hadn't even thought that you would be able to order flowers online so quickly. Back in the old days, before the Internet took over everything, ordering something would take at least a week – even if it was something rather perishable like flowers. The idea that you can order online flowers from local florists and have them delivered on the very same day filled me with suspicion. I figured that something would be wrong with them, that they would get the order wrong, or that they wouldn't even get them to my mother on time.
When my mom called me later that day, I was filled with trepidation, but I had no need to be. In the end, I was glad that I had decided to order flowers online, in fact. Apparently, they got the bouquet perfect. Although it cost me an arm and a leg to order flowers online at the very last minute like that, it was still worth it to make my mother happy on her favorite day of the year.
