Cyclists from the Tamar Bicycle Users Group (TBUG) will be delivering lily bouquets this weekend via Harvest Market's online store.
In other news:
Harvest Market manager Caroline Williamson said the lilies are from Lily Farm, who still have an abundance of flowers due to planting them before the coronavirus took root.
"One of the stallholders that have found they have a glut of produce they would've planted many months ago before the coronavirus is Lily Farm," Ms Williamson said.
"They have hundreds of thousands of lilies so they've put together some amazing Mother's Day bouquets."
"They just don't know what to do with them so it's a great way to be able to support local businesses."

Proceeds from the deliveries will be donated to the Launceston Benevolent Society.
TBUG member Malcolm Cowan said it was a great initiative to be a part of given Harvest's and TBUG's shared goal of sustainability.
"It really fits in together, it's a nice little match of two organisations that can help out," he said.
You can order flowers at harvestmarketonline.org.au until 3pm on May 6.
