Everyone knows tough-as-nails, earthy Ouiser (played by Shirley MacLaine) is a softy at heart. She marches to the beat of her own drum and doesn't give a whit what anyone thinks of her.

Like Ouiser, practical Southern moms want something long-lasting and dependable like Teleflora's Heavenly Hydrangea. This beautiful plant is delivered in Teleflora’s Grecian Garden urn.
