Popular Australian artist CJ Hendry<\/a> is bringing her Flower Shop exhibition to Brisbane for a three-week run after the huge turnout in Sydney.<\/p>\n

The Brisbane Flower Shop<\/a> 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<\/a>, roses, birds of paradise, and lilies.<\/p>\n

Sydneysiders, on the other hand, only had two days when it arrived in May.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What do I need to know about the CJ Hendry Brisbane pop-up?<\/p>\n

Each stem at the Brisbane pop-up will be $10, with the tenth stem being free.<\/p>\n

That’s double the price of the Sydney installation, and visitors even got a free one upon entry.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

You’ll be able to find the Brisbane Flower Market at 1 Arthur St, Fortitude Valley.<\/p>\n

The artist has held pop-ups, markets, and shops in Melbourne, Singapore, New York City, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of people lined up patiently to get their hands on the fake flowers in Sydney.<\/p>\n

(Instagram\/CJ Hendry)What happened at the Sydney CJ Hendry pop-up?<\/p>\n

The Sydney event drew massive crowds, with queues\u00a0described as<\/a> “absolutely cooked”<\/a> by attendees.<\/p>\n

Some flew interstate to get the flowers, while some lined up as early as 3:15am to be in the front of the line.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had no sleep\u2026we’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.<\/p>\n

Footage posted by CJ Hendry<\/a> showed people grabbing as many flowers as their hands or bags could fit once they were inside.<\/p>\n

Excitement even turned to anger, with one clip showing a man and a woman nearly coming to blows before a staff member intervened.<\/p>\n

The staffer told the male attendee “you can’t touch a woman like that” and he hits back immediately saying “she took multiple bunches”.<\/p>\n
