Popular Australian artist CJ Hendry is bringing her Flower Shop exhibition to Brisbane for a three-week run after the huge turnout in Sydney.
The Brisbane Flower Shop in Fortitude Valley will run the pop-up between June 25 and July 12, meaning Queenslanders have weeks to nab one of the fake sunflowers, roses, birds of paradise, and lilies.
Sydneysiders, on the other hand, only had two days when it arrived in May.
There were chaotic scenes of people lining up for hours to get inside, with some even becoming aggressive toward one another as they fought to get the flowers they wanted.

What do I need to know about the CJ Hendry Brisbane pop-up?
Each stem at the Brisbane pop-up will be $10, with the tenth stem being free.
That’s double the price of the Sydney installation, and visitors even got a free one upon entry.
The Market that came to Sydney was more of a temporary setup, whereas the Flower Shop concept is more like a florist and lasts for weeks.
You’ll be able to find the Brisbane Flower Market at 1 Arthur St, Fortitude Valley.
The artist has held pop-ups, markets, and shops in Melbourne, Singapore, New York City, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi.
Tens of thousands of people lined up patiently to get their hands on the fake flowers in Sydney.

The Sydney event drew massive crowds, with queues described as “absolutely cooked” by attendees.
Some flew interstate to get the flowers, while some lined up as early as 3:15am to be in the front of the line.
“We’ve had no sleep…we’ve had husbands sleeping in the line, babies being fed, we’ve got dogs, we’ve got kids, we’ve got literally everyone,” said one woman.
Footage posted by CJ Hendry showed people grabbing as many flowers as their hands or bags could fit once they were inside.
Excitement even turned to anger, with one clip showing a man and a woman nearly coming to blows before a staff member intervened.
The staffer told the male attendee “you can’t touch a woman like that” and he hits back immediately saying “she took multiple bunches”.
