Mother’s Day mania: For area floral shop, sales spike late with last-minute shoppers

By David Krotz Winona Daily News
.Sunday was a big day for sales at Nola’s Flowers “because everyone has a mother and what better way to express your love and appreciation than through flowers?” said Nola Morawiecki.Last-minute Mother’s Day shoppers stopped by frequently as Morawiecki filled their orders as well as other orders that arrived by phone and the Internet.She describes her store as a “fun and funky shop.”Real flowers share space with brilliantly colored artificial flowers, gifts, collectables and an incomplete sketch of William Shakespeare that stares from an easel.Improbable giant blossoms perch in one window and flower stands spill out onto the sidewalk, as though to say, “Nola’s Flowers is open.”“I keep getting phone calls. People are panicking. Some of them say, ‘I can’t believe you’re open,’ ” Morawiecki said.Chuck Kosel stopped by to pick up a big vase of carnations for the kids in Cathedral Choir, including his daughter. It’s a tradition for them each to give a flower to their moms during Mass, he said.Mother’s Day is one of the biggest flower sales days of the year and Nola’s Flowers felt the impact Saturday.“We ran out of flowers yesterday. A wholesaler had to deliver to me at 1 o’clock. Today I’ll run out as soon as I finish all my orders,” she said.Orders came from all over the world, from travelers and military personnel, fueled by the nolasflowers.com Web site.Her son Nicholas designed the site. The orders came from New York, Korea, Iraq, Greece and Amsterdam.“It was fun. On the Internet, they can find you easily,” she said.While her husband Frank Morawiecki made deliveries, Nola filled a walk-in order for one of her regular customers, Bob Haney, who was buying a bouquet for his wife. He even bought a carnation for his dog Teddy.Nola hoped to finish by midday so she and Frank could make a couple deliveries in Cochrane and Trempealeau before taking her mother to dinner at Sullivan’s Supper Club.“I’m going to plant three geraniums for mom today,” she said.Nola is a mother herself, but her three children were away in different parts of the country completing their studies. Nola didn’t say whether the kids sent her flowers.Contact reporter David Krotz
