Price of flowers
Why is it the price of flowers always goes up round mothers day and valentines day and easter?
I went to buy some flowers for mothers day and okay i was looking at yellow roses because they were my mums favourite flowers and they were £7.99. If i'd bought them last week they were only £4.99 at the same shop. All the kids though buying a bunch of flowers for mothers day out of their spending money you would have thought they'd have made enough profit anyway. |

Re: Price of flowers
Did you ask the florist why they had put the price up?

Re: Price of flowers
I'd far rather have a bunch of flowers bought for me on any other day of the year than have someone forced to buy them on Mother's day - it means much more!
