Brisbane Flower Market is extending its trading hours in the lead-up to the biggest event on every florist’s calendar: Mother’s Day. Surpassing Valentine’s Day for flower orders, Brisbane Flower Market florists are expecting high demand for Mother’s Day at the wholesale flower hub in Rocklea from both wholesale customers and the general public, with their cold rooms full of flowers in anticipation.
Brisbane Flower Market spokesperson, Luke Leeson, said that while supplies have been impacted by February and March’s wet weather, a range of flowers, including tulips, chrysanthemums, dahlias, carnations, roses, and lisianthus continue to flow into the market, ready for Mother’s Day. “While there are plenty of flowers available for Mother’s Day, to keep bunches cost-effective, we recommend going for florist’s choice seasonal mixes and preferred color schemes rather than specific flowers,” he said.
“Most florists have online ordering and delivery options available, just make sure you get your orders in early to ensure your florist has enough stock available and to ensure your bouquet can be delivered on time. So, no waiting until the Mother’s Day weekend this year!”
The Brisbane Flower Market will be trading as usual from 5 am to 3 pm on Tuesday to Friday, 3 to 6 May, and will open from 6 am to 1 pm on Saturday, 7 May, and 6 am until sold out on Sunday, 9 May to ensure no one misses out on flowers for Mum. To see the Brisbane Flower Market and its cold rooms at their fullest, the media are invited to attend the site to take footage on Wednesday, 4 May, before 10 am.
