MIL got upset with the $80 flowers I organised for mother's day

None of her 4 sons had organised a mother's day gift for her so I decided to organise a bunch of flowers and a card and asked everyone to chip in.

We planned to visit later in the day at 3pm to line up with everyone else's schedules. When we got there, none of the other family members were there. Then she was upset about the gift, said it was thoughtless and cheap and expected more than $80 bunch of flowers and complained she didn't receive them first thing in the morning. She then pointed her finger at me and said that as a daughter I should have known better. She kept harassing me so my husband told me to get my things and said we're leaving. We stayed for 5 minutes.

This was my first mother's day experience as her daughter in law and that was the last mother's day gift she ever got from me.

Fyi, this was the exact same present I organised for my own mum from myself and my siblings, and my mum was very happy with her gift.
