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 coming up next week on 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 Alexandria-based 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.

“Mother’s Day counts for a fourth of all floral sales for holidays,” Scala said.
Orchids, lillies, tulips, roses, irises and calla lillies are amongst the most popular flower choices for Mother’s Day, according to ProFlowers.com. According to the website, hydrangea, azaleas, chrysanthemums and blooming kalanchoe plants are amongst the best-selling plants for Mother’s Day.

Scala said the floral industry is global, and there won’t be a shortage of flowers to go around.
Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914, according to History.com.
