4 IMAGINATIVE IKEBANA -- JULIA RUSH

Julia Rush, a floral artist from Sydney, Australia, has a fresh approach to the traditional Japanese flower arranging art known as Ikebana. Rush’s works highlight the unique artistry of each blossom, leaf, and stem, contrasting simplicity against complex form -- kind of like a mother’s love.

5. FLORAL CLOCHE -- PUTNAM & PUTNAM

If you want to tune into mom’s old-fashioned charms, check out these Victorian-inspired cloches, by Michael and Darroch Putnam, of Putnam & Putnam.

Elegant, with muted palettes and botanical interest, each cloche is arranged with soulful yet meticulous artistry.

6. BONSAI BEAUTY -- MICHAEL HAGEDORN, CRATAEGUS

Bonsai share many of the same characteristics of beautiful mothers, with beauty sculpted over time. Crataegus Bonsai, designed and created by artist Michael Hagedorn, are truly exceptional.

Hagedorn has been infatuated with bonsai since he was a teenager. He has apprenticed under award-winning masters and has become a master himself. As a painter and sculptor, he brings an extraordinary creative aesthetic to his bonsai creations. 

Influences include global folk craft, the sculpture of Jean-Pierre Larocque, the bonsai of Shinji Suzuki, the writing of Thoreau and Jean Giono, the mixed forests of the Northeastern and Northwestern USA, and poets Hafiz and Billy Collins.

7. BARREL VAULT TERRARIUM -- H. POTTER

H Potter's Barrel Vault Terrarium sports a Wardian Case, with a removable real curved glass roof to maximize the height of the flowers and plants grown inside. Glass is held by real copper hardware, designed with exquisite period detail.

Plant an orchid, some ferns and some mosses for a magnificent gift that can live on and bring mom joy forever.

8. MAPPLETHORPE FLORA: THE COMPLETE FLOWERS

Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, one of the 20th century’s most important artists, took extraordinarily beautiful flower portraits.

Mapplethorpe Flora: The Complete Flowers, edited by Mark Holborn Mark and Dimitri Levas Dimitri, presents an opulent bouquet of the artist’s floral works. Lush photos of roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips, and other species — both common and rare, command a a stunning presence in these pages.

This stunning book will surely enjoy a permanent place on mom’s coffee table.
