Getting watered
Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario will all have some well-watered flowers for mom on Monday, as well as the North and Central B.C. coast (where the flowers are very thirsty).

Bring the flowers in: The frost hurts
When the flowers close up shop Sunday evening on the Prairies, they’ll have to come inside in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with temperatures falling below freezing.
Sunday night will also be another frosty one for the vast majority of Ontario including the fringes of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
