Feisty and headstrong, Shelby (played by Julia Roberts) is a modern-day Scarlett O'Hara. She loves to love, and may test your limits, but never forgets who her real friends are.

In celebration of Shelby's signature color, order your mom the Sweet Pinks Bouquet featuring pink roses and white hydrangea. The bouquet delivers in a beautiful satin pink cylinder.

For the Truvy Jones

Brash, funny, and loving―Truvy (played by Dolly Parton) is a true Southern friend. There to laugh with you in good times and cry with you in bad, but never too shy to tell you when you ought to have worn a girdle.

Perfect for bold and beautiful Southern moms, Teleflora's Burgundy Blush bouquet features several different types of flowers including roses, hydrangeas and Asiatic lilies.

For the Ouiser Boudreaux

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.

For the Clairee Belcher

Graceful, elegant Clairee (played by Olympia Dukakis) is a true Southern lady. Otherwise, how could she ever tolerate Ouiser? Clairee is funny and charming and never looks down on those less fortunate than herself.

Teleflora's Springtime Serenade is a stunning floral arrangement fit for the classic Southern mom's beautiful foyer. She'll love the perfect mix of pink and lavender roses, peonies, snapdragons and more.

For the Annelle Dupuy

Sweet and gentle Annelle (played by Darryl Hannah) is as fresh as a flower and nearly as delicate―but never backs down when defending her beliefs.

Ethereal Cymbidium orchids blend with hydrangea, roses, button spray chrysanthemums and waxflower to create this lovely combination of fragility and fortitude. Teleflora’s Love Song is delivered in a pink Teleflora Satin Collection Cylinder.

For the M'Lynn Eatenton

M'Lynn (played by Sally Field) is the strong Southern mom who will always be there for you―even when you're making the worst decision of your life. She's no wallflower, she just lets her children shine.

For traditional moms like M'Lynn, Teleflora's Spring Tulips bouquet is simple yet resilient featuring ten beautiful purple blossoms in a glass vase.
