A Dozen Unique Mother's Day Bouquets For Mom, Because Roses Are SO Out

Roses are the traditional Mother's Day go-to flower choice. But, shocker, there are so many other flowers to choose from! Some may even give your mom a good laugh. Here's a list of flowers other than roses to get your mom for Mother's Day.

1. Epiphytic Orchid

This orchid looks remarkably like a baboon. This would be perfect for your mom if she's a monkey-lover (or as an apology for "monkey-ing" around).

2. Naked Man Orchid (Orchis Italica)

This orchid could look just like you and your mom. The two little flower people even seem to be smiling! Happy Mother's Day mom, here is a flower of us smiling together and holding hands!

3. Psychotria Elata

Also known as Hookers' Lips, this is a flower you won't want to give your mom unless you have a *special* relationship with her. If she has the right sense of humor, you might get a laugh out of her.

4. Impatiens Bequaertii

Also known as Dancing Girl Impatiens, this flower is perfect for its small shape. Not to mention that it will remind your mom of you as a child! These are super cute, tiny and the perfect Mother's Day gift.

5. Impatients Psittacina

These pretty flowers are also known as the Parrot Flower. These are perfect for the bird-loving mothers out there. Look how cute they are!

6. Caleana Major

These are also known as the Flying Duck Orchid. They're also perfect for the bird-loving mothers! The colors are also so pretty and will light up any room.

7. Orchid That Looks Like A Tiger

This flower is the perfect one for any animal-loving mother. It looks just like a tiger, the colors are beautiful together and it goes with just about any piece in a house. I know I would love to have this one in my home!

8. Calceolaria Uniflora

Happy alien is a fitting name for these orchids as they literally look like smiling aliens. These wild colors will be perfect in any room to liven it up a little. Give these to your mom if she's looking for more out-of-the-box flowers!

9. Peristeria Elata

Also known as the dove or Holy Ghost orchid, these flowers will be perfect if your mother loves doves or is religious. Or, ya know, if your mom is into the paranormal, too.

10. Antirrhinum

These flowers look oddly similar to the Death Eaters from Harry Potter. So if your mom is a Slytherin or really into Harry Potter, these might be perfect for her!

11. Dicentra Spectabilis

These are also known as bleeding heart roses and are often mistaken for Valentine's Day decorations! But nope, they're just flowers. These are super pretty and any mom would love to get these on Mother's Day!

12. Habenaria Radiata


This bird-like flower is enough to make any mother happy on Mother's Day! Get your mom these flowers to add to that empty vase on the kitchen table. The cat will probably like these too!

So don't be generic this Mother's Day. Roses are out, these flowers are in! Get your mom one of these flowers to make her special day ~extra~ special.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
