Florists in the Mobile area say they have never seen a time like this.
“We turned down orders yesterday,” said Kimberly Snipes, who owns Bay Flowers in Mobile. “Today I said, I think we can fill a few more. We have so much work. I have to cover what I m already committed to,” she said.

Snipes has worked in flower shops since she was 15. This is the first time she had to say no to customers because she didn’t have flowers. The demand is more than the supply can provide.
“Valentines this year was the bomb,” she said. “The farms can t keep up with it and Mother s Day is getting ready to happen. I have a person I m connected with in Miami, she s begging from farms. Stuff s coming in and she can only get me about five or six boxes a week.”
