Mother's Day Flowers - Mother's Day is May 10th

This information was passed along to me by a colleague. His research tells us the following about Mother's Day gifts this year:
"Flowers will be the most popular gift this year: 66.8% of shoppers will present mom with a bouquet, spending a total of $1.9 billion on blooms (compared with last year's $2 billion). The most popular flower for the holiday? The lovely rose." B. Tolces
