Mother's Day Flower Prices Not Affected By California Drought

Despite the fact that 98.16 of California is experiencing moderate drought conditions, flower production in the state was on track to meet the demand for Mother's Day.

"We use a lot of important technology to make sure we get plenty of water," said Kasey Conquist CEO for the California Cut Flowers Commission.

Conquist said the only thing that can hurt their flower production is a lack of sunshine. That has not been an issue.

The state of California provides about 20-25 percent of all cut flowers sold in the U.S. The flower producing countries of Colombia and Ecuador, in South America, supply the balance.
