May 14, 2023. You probably already sent Mom some roses. But if you haven’t done anything yet, I have a couple of ideas.

Sure, you could still run around looking for the last and most expensive dozen in town to send or bring. Or you could bring Mom to the roses. If they’re in bloom at a local botanical garden, there’ll be dozens of them. Hundreds of dozens.

Or you could send her a link to these video roses. Tell her you told me what to say. She won’t have to subscribe or log in. It’s Mother’s Day. It’s on me.

I know these video roses aren’t Better than the real thing. But they’re Better than nothing. They’re Cheaper. And Way Slower to fade. They’ll still be in perfect condition next Mother’s Day. And you never have to change the water.

Happy Mother’s Day.
