May 11th, Mother’s Day is the peak sales season for the flower industry in the United States every year. But this year, due to the impact of the Trump administration’s tariff policies, flower prices have risen significantly compared to previous years, and business for merchants is clearly not as good as in previous years. According to CNN, about 80% of the flowers sold in the US market rely on imports, and the price of flowers in the market this year is almost twice as high as during Mother’s Day last year. Under heavy pressure, experts suggest considering emerging “origami bouquets” to save costs. According to a survey by an online consumer platform in the United States, due to tariffs and concerns about the economic outlook, American consumers’ Mother’s Day related spending this year has decreased by 14% year-on-year.
