Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday, May 14th, so it’s time to start thinking about gifts and plans for celebrating the Moms in your life. Lowe’s has an easy solution. According to Lifehacker, the home improvement chain is having a Mother’s Day flower giveaway, but to get in on it you’ll need to plan ahead.

Here are the details:

  • You’ll have to sign up on the Lowe’s events page. Registration opens on Sunday, April 30th.
  • The freebie is a “one-pint flower,” and supplies are limited, so sign up as early as possible.
  • The event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Mother’s Day (5/14) and is supposed to include “fun activities and giveaways for all to enjoy.”
  • You’ll even receive a $10 coupon for your next $75 Lowe’s purchase.
  • At some point before then, Lowe’s is supposed to email everyone who registered with more information and instructions for pickup.

According to the Lowe’s events page, the flower giveaway is “a thank-you to the Moms and other special friends in our lives.” So even if you’re not a Mom, you can still score a free flower. Mother’s Day is also a day to celebrate that you were brought up by a Mom. And don’t feel guilty that you’re trying to get a freebie for your Mom. She’ll probably like the fact that you’re being smart with your money.

Can You Guess North Carolina's Favorite Flower? It's Not The Dogwood

Spring is in the air, and the flowers are blooming. I absolutely love looking at all the gorgeous flowers decorating Charlotte these days. And on my to-do list for this week is to purchase a bouquet of flowers to brighten up my house. My favorite flower is probably an orchid or tulips. But have you ever wondered what flowers other people enjoy the most? A study by Primrose revealed the favorite flower in each US state.

To do this, the experts at Primrose analyzed Google search data for 1,085 plant and flower variations to determine favorite flowers and plants in each country, US state, and UK city. So which flower is number one in North Carolina? I’ll give you a hint: the flower that topped North Carolina’s list is also the most popular flower overall in the United States. It was searched in North Carolina 853,500 times. That’s a lot!

The study analyzed Google searches across each US state to reveal that residents of North Carolina love their roses. In fact, the state has searched for roses over 853,500 times in the last year alone. As you’ll see below, North Carolinians are in the majority with their love for roses.
