Let this page serve as your reminder: despite the month of March feeling like roughly three days ago, Mother’s Day is next weekend. And as much as “the real gift is being a mom,” you don’t want to be the one who forgets flowers and a card, at the very least. Luckily, Tampa has tons of great spots for fresh flowers.
Keep in mind that Mother’s Day is up there with Valentine’s Day for the busiest time of year for florists, so shops will be busy, but Tampa has a plethora of great locally-run spots with fresh flowers to brighten up any day. We’ll refrain from listing out every single one (though let us know if we missed your favorite), and instead highlight a mix of the top-rated spots spread throughout the area.

And a quick note before we begin: roses aren’t the only good flowers for Mother’s Day! Carnations are classic, tulips are coming back in season, and nothing fills a room with sweet scents like a blooming lily. Don’t be afraid to venture beyond the standards, which may be rarer and more expensive anyway. Oh, and if you need some brunch plans, we have you covered there, too.
