LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Sadly, Mother s Day may look a little less colorful this year because florists are facing some significant pandemic challenges.
“I m always looking for something different,” said Michael Wolfolk, a Little Rock man shopping for flowers.
It’s the busiest time of year for florists with customers like Wolfolk out to buy flowers for the moms who raised them. I alternate between my wife and mother-in-law. She s the only mother I have left here. So, this year she gets the flowers, my wife gets something else,” said Wolfolk.
