Kmart was selling 4" pots of chrysanthemum plants (not just cut flowers) for $10 for mother's day but they're now discounted to $3 since the Great Annual Consumer Guilt Trip is almost over.
They're all rather sad looking flowers now, and a bit limp but the colours are easily distinguished and the plants themselves cost more at nurseries (including Kmart Garden) so if you're into gardening this is a good chance to get some cheaper chrysanthemums to brighten up the yard. There are around 40 left in Campbellfield, and I assume this deal may exist in other stores.
for when you love your mum, but not $10 worth ;)
