Have You Ordered Mom Flowers for Mother's Day Yet?
Experts say you should order your Mother's Day flowers sooner, rather than later, as it's is the second-busiest day of the year for florists.
Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday, May 12, and besides the brunch reservations and jewelry, people will be scrambling to buy their No. 1 lady some flowers.
Jenny Scala, spokeswoman for the Society of American Florists said Mother’s Day flower and plant sales are second only to Christmas and just above Valentine’s Day, which is third on the list of busiest days for florists.
