Which PPC Ad Won Mother's Day 2013?

A combination of all would make a near perfect ad. I say "near perfect" to stress the idea that no ad is perfect, and that there's always room for optimization and improvement.
1-800-Flowers.com wins in relevance with it's repeated use of the word "flowers" in its headline and body copy. Blooms Today wins big in value with its specific and compelling offers and promotions. None of ads had enticing calls-to-action, but Teleflora had a clear "order now."
That being said, could you write a better ad? Could you take 1-800-Flowers.com's relevance, Blooms Today's value and Teleflora's call-to-action to create an ad? Share your version in the comments below.
