What do you think my chances are of the florest doing it?

Hi Cambourne, I don't know if Mum has a garden but a named rose is a lovely gift,I think there might be one called Mother's Day. Over the years I have bought roses called.
Celebration,Wedding day, Anniversary and my favourite three that I bought my husband on our anniversary where,Love, Honour and Cherish,there are lots that fit the occasion XX Jeannine
I found a lemon bush at Woolies and have potted it up in a nice new pot [not one of the old ones sitting outside in my garden]. And then if she lookes after it well she can use the lemons in her G&T!

Jeannine, you are so lovely! :) What a fantastic thought. Cam, to help you out what I would like for MD is..a bit of blimmin peace and quiet. ;)
So what's wrong with choclit ??? ;D
Lish. Nothing wrong in my book, only thing is choclit never seem to last as long as the flowers ;D ::)
Being able to eat the chocolate in peace and quiet would be my best pressie!! ;D
Emmy, thank you for the compliment re roses for my sweetie.

Hee hee hee, that made me laugh! x
I'm giving my mum a voucher for an aromatherapy massage. I normally do the ol flowers'n'chocs thing but she's had a rough few months and I reckon she deserves a bit of pampering.
I am thinking of a bay tree for my mum, not sure yet about my mother in law as she probably would not use the bay leaves.
Trying to persuade the missus to buy a trip wire.
finally delivered the bromeliad for Ray's mum, it survived, we can't get there on sunday so made it today, now she can kill it ;D
Bought my Mum a pink trug, pink leather gloves and secuteaurs. Something a bit different, that will make her laugh (we're talking Barbie pink) but I know she will use athem and it'll all last a bit longer than flowers or chocs.
I wanted to buy something long lasting for my mum.
I went on holiday with my parents in February, and my mum seemed to point out every camellia plant we passed. She was not sure if they would grow where she lives. As I no longer live nearby, I phoned her local garden centre to see if they had any. I wanted to do buy an appropriately named plant, as Jeannie suggested, but they only had 'Debbie'. It looks lovely though, and I hope she will get lots of pleasure from it.
Emmy re peace and quiet.
If you remember I said said there is of course a rose called Peace I am not sure about Quiet, well I just remembered there is one called Quiet Time. Would that do?
Peace and Quiet Time..sounds good to me

For the last few years my MD 'present' from my always-broke youngest son has been him getting up and feeding the chickens & letting them out so I can have a lie in - he is now at uni so it's get up early as usual I suppose.
