Magenta and lavender flowers often deer-resistant - Charleston Post Courier

Tuesday, August 01, 2017

For a part-shade bed, purple-flowered powdery mildew-resistant crepe myrtles will provide filtered shade if a few limbs are removed. Flower colors range from plum ‘Yuma’ and ‘Apalachee’ to violet ‘Catawba’ and ‘Powhatan.’ Because some deer will eat the shoots they can reach on small crepe myrtles, as large a tree as practical should be planted so deer can’t reach the leader.Shade-tolerant perennials that can be planted under a crepe myrtle include Lenten rose ‘Royal Heritage Strain’ (medium violet red) that blooms in late winter, common foxglove (medium orchid) that blooms in spring and ‘Amistad’ hybrid anise sage (dark violet) that blooms summer to frost.Purple foliage can be added by planting purple heart (Tradescantia pallida ‘Purpurea’) and pineapple lily ‘Sparkling Burgundy.’ These perennials produce flowers in violet and pink, respectively.All of the purple plants and flowers mentioned pair very well with white cultivars of the same species or other white-flowering plants. Depending on individual color preferences, some shades of pink or blue violet may fit in a purple-themed bed. Dusty miller is an excellent winter companion for any shade of orchid, magenta, violet or purple.Gardeners who don’t have to worry about browsing deer can add purple coneflower, dianthus, petunia, pentas, and purple-leaved ornamental sweet potato.ShrubsCrepe myrtleLoropetalum ‘Purple Daydream’ dwarfRose of SharonJapanese spirea ‘Little Bonnie’ dwarfPerennialsChrysanthemumDrumstick chivesPineapple lily ‘Sparkling Burgundy’Lenten rose ‘Royal Heritage’Purple heart (foliage)Mexican bush salviaSalvia ‘Amistad’Society garlicSweet grassTrailing lantanaAnnualsAfrican daisy (Osteospermum)AgeratumAlyssumAngeloniaDwarf gomphrenaFoxglove, commonMadagascar periwinklePurple fountain grass... http://www.postandcourier.com/columnists/magenta-and-lavender-flowers-often-deer-resistant/article_40ae5b10-60ed-11e7-a2f5-7746ba715d83.html

Business Spotlight: Blooming Business - Springfield Business Journal

Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Hartman says. “I still get emails pretty frequently asking how to start a flower truck, and the whole concept is gaining momentum.”Kate Penn, CEO of the Society of American Florists, says retail floral sales have been growing – to the tune of $35 billion in 2017, a $2 billion increase from the year prior, according to a U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis report on personal consumption expenditures.Penn says the mobile floral business is catching on, and she describes it as “experiential, interactive purchasing.”“There’s a lot of innovation and entrepreneurialism in the flower-buying space right now,” Penn says, noting floral sales have steadily increased during the last decade. “There is a big trend across retail right now, and the floral industry is no different. It’s the idea of trying to do something creative that makes what you’re purchasing interactive and memorable and fun.”The consumer appeal, she says, is being able to walk down the street, stop at a flower truck and purchase flowers by the stem, or create an individual bouquet. “It’s a super smart business model,” Penn says. ... https://sbj.net/stories/business-spotlight-blooming-business,66208?

Marigold harvest a gift to workers who have kept Mellano blooming for 50 years - The San Diego Union-Tribune

Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Knott’s Berry Farm.At the request of poinsettia grower and family friend Paul Ecke, the Mellano family took over management of the American Florist Exchange in L.A. in the 1960s. And in the 1970s, Giovanni and Maria’s son Mike Mellano Sr. and son-in-law Battista Castellano moved to Oceanside to expand the family’s flower empire. Chairman of Mellano & Company Michael Mellano stands among marigolds at the Mellano & Company farm on Friday, October 25, 2019 in Oceanside.(Hayne Palmour IV / The San Diego Union-Tribune) Today, Mellano & Co. farms more than 40 varieties of cut flower products, particularly the fresh foliage and greenery that fills out most traditional floral bouquets. With locations in Oceanside, Carlsbad, Orange County and Las Vegas, it’s the largest specialty cut-flower grower in the nation, producing 6 million flower stems each year. In partnership with the Ecke family and Armstrong Nursery, Mellano & Co. also oversees the 40-acre growing and wholesale operations for The Flower Fields in Carlsbad.Michelle Castellano Keeler, the daughter of Battista Castellano, also grew up on the farm and today is the company’s corporate vice president. She and her cousin, Mike M., said the company has always had a heart for immigrant workers because of their family’s roots in Italy.During World War II when Japanese farmers in California were sent to internment camps, Giovanni Mellano purchased some of their L.A. farm properties and equipment for $1 and then stored everything for the internees until they returned after the war.At the Oceanside farm, Mellano & Co. offers onsite housing for its workers, some of whom have lived on the property for two generations. From 40 to 50 workers live there now, most of them were born in Mexican as well as a few Guatemalans and a family of Congolese refugees. Keeler said the idea for the worker housing came from her dad.“He was an immigrant himself and when we first moved here, he felt the way the Hispanic workers were treated was horrible so he built this area on our farm where they could live and be safe,” she said. Advertisement Taking care of workers is also smart business. Mellano said that 10 years ago, 50 people would show up to apply for five open jobs. Now, with the local unemployment rate at a historic low, just one person will show up to apply for five open jobs, and they may not even have the proper legal documentation to qualify.

Their Mellano & Co. now farms more than 340 acres of flowers in Oceanside and Carlsbad.(Courtesy of Mellano & Co.) Beyond the labor shortage, growing flowers is an increasingly challenging business. The cost of water, electricity and equipment keeps rising along with competition from South American growers, who have significantly lower production costs.To adapt over the years, the company shifted its growing focus away from high labor-intensive crops like gladiolus and chrysanthemums to lower labor-intensive crops like myrtle, ruscus and other greenery. The company also expanded beyond the cut-flower trade into growing hemp, succulents and potted poinsettias and hydrangeas.The company has also invested in state-of-the-art equipment, like sensors that measure the amount of water in the soil to... https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/story/2019-10-27/marigold-harvest-a-gift-to-workers-who-have-kept-mellano-blooming-for-50-years

In the Know: Ruth Messmer Florist moves in Fort Myers for first time in 62 years - The News-Press

Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Few Fort Myers businesses had been in one place for as long as Ruth Messmer Florist. For 62 years, since 1957, the flower shop sat off U.S. 41 about a mile south of downtown Fort Myers at 3366 Cleveland Ave., at the northwest corner of Maravilla Avenue. Not anymore. Last month, the shop moved for just the second time in its existence. Florist co-owners Heather Messmer, daughter of the late Ruth Messmer, and Jessica Gnagey, a granddaughter, moved the shop to 1850 Boy Scout Drive, just west of U.S. 41 and east of Sam Galloway Ford on the far-right corner Sunview Business Center. They are in the former location of Golf Shoes Plus and have signed a five-year lease. The shop began on the front porch of Ruth Messmer’s home in 1952 on the northwest corner of Page Field near what is now the La-Z-Boy Furniture Gallery. It also had a satellite location for about 25 years at The... https://www.news-press.com/story/news/2019/11/05/ruth-messmer-florist-moves-fort-myers-first-time-62-years/4075874002/

A funeral director for the community - Dallas Voice

Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Green Funeral Home and Hardware. Today it’s just Green Funeral Home.But Jeremy Lewis and Ben LaFleur do have a related business in downtown Ferris. A Bundle of Love is a florist that provides flowers for its funerals and sells directly to the public but also sells gifts like Tyler Candles, LaFleur Brothers Seasonings and Hops Farm Soap made in flavors like beer.When Lewis and LaFleur bought the business a year ago, they had architect Mark Nelson tear down walls and modernize the funeral home. And they moved the florist a few doors closer to the town square into a larger space.Three generations of the Green family operated the funeral home. When Helen Green took over the business, she became one of the first women licensed by the state of Texas to become a funeral director. While the Green family is gone from the business, Lewis and Lafleur respect the company’s history.Lewis said being a funeral director is something he wanted to do since he was a child. While other kids were playing cops and robbers, he was playing funeral home. And, yes, he does understand how disturbing that is.When he was 16, he applied to work at a funeral home near his house in Joplin, Mo. They turned him down suggesting the local McDonalds was hiring.“If I wanted to work at McDonalds, I would have applied there,” Lewis said.So when he was 18, he applied aga... https://dallasvoice.com/a-funeral-director-for-the-community/
