" ... offering flowers to my mother for her birthday.
Shouldn't the English translation read, "I'm giving my mother flowers ... " rather than "offering"?
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate offrir/souffrir in the present tense in French (Le Présent)"

Yes, that would sound more natural in English. But the "offering flowers" gives you more of a clue as to what to use in French.
