Mother's Day sneak up on you? These 12 L.A. flower shops are happy to bail you out

If you're reading this, you might be a little ... stressed.

I know that you absolutely did not forget that Mother's Day is this Sunday. You totally meant to order a spectacular bouquet of carnations, maybe some lilies or even roses to let the mothers in your life know you've been thinking of them. Because you have been thinking of them, especially after a year when being a mother was more difficult, isolating and lonely than ever.

But time also passes weirdly right now and this week, understandably, sneaked up on you.

Well, you're in luck. Several floral studios around the Los Angeles area are still accepting last-minute orders for Mother's Day, while supplies last. If you really want to save yourself a bit of headache, schedule delivery for Friday or Saturday, or pick up the flowers locally.

Here are 12 flower shops where you can still order (and pick up) flower arrangements:
