Florists Are Scrambling as Flower Shortage Threatens Mother’s Day

Inventory is down and prices are through the roof for Mother’s Day flowers this year. Lilacs are a favorite for the day, if you can find them. So how can you find the moms in your life beautiful flowers at a reasonable price? Experts say, instead of placing a classic order like a dozen roses, talk to your local florist. Tell them mom’s favorite color and your budget, and they’ll usually find a way to work with you.
