Roses are red, violets are blue and on Mother’s Day, the flowers are in full bloom. So much so, that Americans spend more than $3 billion dollars on flowers every Mother’s Day, according to Statista. At Pike Place Market, Mother’s Day is the busiest holiday for many of the flower stands there. FOX 13 spoke with one family who has been selling flowers there for 25 years. They said they started setting up shop at 4 a.m. on Mother’s Day and will likely go through 4,000 flowers.
