hi misha103,
You can order a dozen roses with a free box of Ghirardelli chocolates
from "Proflowers" by calling 1.888.373.7437 or you can place an order
online by going to http://www.3proflowers.com (thanks to genki2-ga for
confirming this!). Their website says that you get a free box of
Ghirardelli chocolates with any flowers you send. You should be able
to order in time as all flowers are shipped overnight by FedEx to
ensure freshness - you can also choose the delivery day. If want you
to guarantee your order to arrive the next day, you can pay a small
additional charge for next morning delivery service.
"Can I still order for Mother's Day?
Our fresh, direct from the grower flowers can be ordered through 11pm
EST on Friday May 9 for guaranteed delivery before Mother's Day.
Orders delivered through our florist network can be placed until
3:00pm EST on Saturday May 10 for guaranteed delivery before Mother's
Day.
[...]
At 25x regular weekly volumes, the Mother's Day holiday is the floral
gift industry's busiest week. This high level of demand increases
costs throughout the industry and puts extra stresses on delivery
carriers, who are now limiting availability of deliveries on Friday,
May 9 and Saturday, May 10.
In order to meet the high levels of Mother's Day demand and ensure
timely delivery, we are now offering two premium delivery options:
*	Option 1 - Guaranteed Friday, May 9 Delivery
- $5.99 extra 
*	Option 2 - Guaranteed Saturday, May 10 Delivery
- $12.99 extra 
Our standard prices and delivery options below will apply to all other
delivery dates.
 
How much will it cost?
Standard shipping charges for delivery Monday through Friday are $8.99
in most of the continental US, $9.99 in some rural areas, and $19.99
in Hawaii and Alaska.
An upgrade to morning delivery incurs an extra $1.00 for all locations
where it is available.
Saturday deliveries require morning delivery and incur an additional
$10.00 surcharge, for a total delivery charge of $19.99."
