With Mother’s Day coming up faster than you can spell “chrysanthemum,” you might be looking for something to surprise your mom or another special woman in your life.

This Mother’s Day — it’s on May 10, if you need a reminder — will probably be different from ones of years past, and you might be wondering how to get your gift to your mom if you can’t give it to her in person.

You could have some rosé delivered to her door or send her a sweet treat that she can have with her afternoon tea. But if fresh flowers are an annual Mother’s Day tradition for you, that’s still an option.

Pro tip: Flower deliveries, like other deliveries, might be delayed this year, so order your Mother’s Day flowers earlier than you might otherwise.

First off, you should see if local florists in your mom’s town can deliver to her. You can also check places like Floom, which delivers blooms from independent flower shops.

But there are other options as well. You have plenty of things on your plate right now, so we rounded up 10 of the best flower delivery services. Keep in mind, too, that places like 1-800-Flowers and ProFlowers are offering no-contact deliveries right now, so you might want to send your mom a text beforehand so she doesn’t miss her gift.

Check out these flowers and plants that’ll get delivered just in time for Mother’s Day:

Bloomscape

If your mom is more into leaves than petals, Bloomscape's <a href="https://fave.co/3cn0IAS" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mother's Day shop</a> will "give her a gift that grows." There's everything from a <a href="https://fave.co/3aiFa7n" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">trio of thorny cacti</a> to the playful <a href="https://fave.co/3biQwcQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">polka-dotted leaves of a begonia plant</a>. The plants in the shop range from $35 for a <a href="https://fave.co/2K7pJUT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">prayer plant</a> to $195 for a <a href="https://fave.co/2XG0gcP" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bamboo palm</a>. Bloomscape is experiencing longer ship times and says orders should ship within five to seven business days. The brand even has a <a href="https://fave.co/2xx24dF" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shipping map</a> for the transit time it'll take to get to different states. <br /><br /><a href="https://fave.co/3cn0IAS" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Check out Bloomscape's Mother's Day shop</a>.

The Bouqs Co.

<a href="https://fave.co/2XHyKf4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Bouqs</a> has a special section of its site specifically for <a href="https://fave.co/3bgBFQ0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mother's Day flowers</a>. These fresh flowers start at $49 and go up to $79. There's a <a href="https://fave.co/2Kdkseu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">"Purple Reign" bouquet</a>, filled with lavender and white roses, for the mom who's a Prince fan. And for the brunch-loving mom, there's a <a href="https://fave.co/34GtYjy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bouquet called "Mom-osa"</a> with yellow lilies. You can pick the delivery date for the Mother's Day flowers to arrive (from May 5 until May 9) and <a href="https://fave.co/2Vcygw2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">check your mom's zip code</a> to see what flowers will ship last-minute.<br /><br /><a href="https://fave.co/3bgBFQ0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Check out The Bouqs' Mother's Day offerings</a>. <a href="https://bouqs.com/flowers/mothers-day/rose-bouquet?sku=98131802"></a>

Floom

For the mom who has her own favorite local florist, <a href="https://fave.co/2RGxPYH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Floom</a> might be your go-to. <a href="https://fave.co/2RGxPYH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Floom</a> ships out flowers from independent florists across the U.S. You can enter your mom's zip code and the day you want the bouquet delivered and see arrangements from local florists. But procrastinators, you might have to plan ahead: Depending on the restrictions put in place in a state, you'll have to check to see if they can be <a href="https://fave.co/34Oq9J5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">delivered to your mom's town</a>. But the arrangements are definitely unique, since they're from a local florist. Prices depend on where you're sending flowers to. Cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco have <a href="https://fave.co/2RGxPYH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">same-day delivery options</a>. <br /><br /><a href="https://fave.co/34Oq9J5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Check out the Mother's Day offerings at Floom</a>.

Ode á la Rose

You might not have heard of <a href="https://fave.co/3bg8Sen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ode &aacute; la Rose</a>, but the NYC-based flower delivery brand is ideal if you're a procrastinator. Ode &aacute; la Rose offers same-day delivery in New York City and Chicago, plus next-day delivery to most cities in the Northeast. The brand's flowers are fresh from the farm and picked in Holland. That's a fun fact your mom would love hearing. And if you're not on the East Coast, Ode &aacute; la Rose gives free shipping anywhere in the U.S. with bouquets shipping from Holland in three to five business days. Keep in mind that Ode &aacute; la Rose says it currently has a <a href="https://fave.co/3bg8Sen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">limited selection of bouquets</a> that range from $89 to <a href="https://fave.co/34LZpZJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$200 for 80 stems</a> (that's a lot of petals). You might go for these <a href="https://fave.co/2wHHpTI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">blue hyacinths</a> or <a href="https://fave.co/3bhpPVR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pastel tulips</a>.  <br /><br /><a href="https://fave.co/2yke2Yg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Check out Ode &aacute; la Rose's offerings</a>.

For the mom that's truly a plant parent at heart, you might want to go with a plant that'll actually grow with her. And <a href="https://fave.co/2xif5r3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">plants.com</a> has plenty. While the company doesn't have a specific Mother's Day assortment, you can check out its different collections, including <a href="https://fave.co/3cw3S5l" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pet-friendly</a> and <a href="https://fave.co/2VBytYH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">easy care plants</a>.
