Ballyfermot florist's top tips for Mother's Day flowers

Jackie's Florist is located on the Ballyfermot Road, run by the lovely woman from which the shop gets its name, Jackie, and her daughter Sarah.

And with Mother's Day coming up this Sunday, Jackie, Sarah and the whole team are busy getting ready for one of their busiest periods.

While many a Dub will be seeking the most colourful and joy-inducing flowers for their beloved mammies this Mother's Day, Sarah shared some tips and things to know when it comes to getting the best bang for your buck when buying flowers this weekend.

"For about €10 or €15, you get some nice chrysanthemums and gerberas with a rose or two thrown in wrapped in a nice bow.

"The butterflies, windmills and love hearts all come complimentary in your bouquet."

She added: "Carnations are only a euro each. They're a lovely flower, I don't know why they got a bad name. We're getting an array of colour in and you can get a few to wrap together.
