Dorothea Eileen Culhane, 87, 'den mother' of Bronx neighborhood, dies - Newsday

She died surrounded by family at a hospital after complications arose when she broke her hip a week earlier.“Our house was like the community center for the neighborhood,” said her son Terry, of Oakdale, a retired MTA deputy police chief, who was one of nine children. His brother Thomas, of the Bronx, said their mother was popular in the neighborhood.“We and our friends would play ball in the backyard all day. . . . Afterward our mother would feed everyone sausage heroes and Kool-Aid,” he said. “Our friends would hang out with her even if we weren’t there.”While she was not directly involved in her husband’s politicking, Terry Culhane also said his mother would feed 30 to 40 campaign volunteers nightly during the fall election campaigns.“She cooked massive meals and the multitudes came,” Terry Culhane said.Despite her large brood, Culhane’s children said their mom always had time to give them individual attention.“She was always a good listener and always there to do homework with all of us.”Family members described their mother as a voracious reader. She was also a highly competitive Scrabble player and for much of her life played almost daily.

This florist started caring for ailing orchids on the side. He’s now babysitting 13,000. - The Washington Post

The business is known for boarding customers’ orchids between bloom cycles. Even within Richmond’s redbrick historic neighborhood known as the Museum District, Art Chadwick’s florist’s shop seems like a quaint throwback to an earlier time. A bell chimes as you open the door, and fans swirl below a pressed-tin ceiling. Cymbidiums, cattleyas and other flowering orchids are presented in decorative pots on round tables. Along one wall, a green pleated sofa invites patrons to linger and chat.I am here on a mild Friday afternoon in winter, and a small but steady stream of customers arrive, chatting in relaxed fashion with the proprietor. Chadwick, 56, is dressed casually in a brown cable-knit sweater, and he seems to be a guy comfortable in his own skin, smooth and urbane — in sum, exactly what you might expect in the genteel and luxuriant world of orchids.For all the delight of this little flower shop, I can’t help thinking that it should belong to a time before mass merchandisers (nevermind the Internet) came along and did away with mom-and-pop haberdashers, milliners, green grocers and the like. But Chadwick & Son Orchids is thriving and preparing to expand. To understand why, you have to perch yourself on that green sofa and observe carefully. You will come to see that the customers aren’t just leaving with orchids, they ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/home/this-florist-started-babysitting-ailing-orchids-on-the-side-hes-now-boarding-13000/2019/04/03/e5bc550e-3ba1-11e9-a2cd-307b06d0257b_story.html

Rosa Ashby of Rosa Flowers, Witney, blames Brexit as store shuts - Oxford Mail

A SUCCESSFUL florist who will close her Witney town centre shop today says Brexit was the 'last straw'. Rosa Ashby has run Rosa Flowers in Witney since November 1997, but the store will shut for good today due to rising costs. Mrs Ashby imported flowers entirely from the Netherlands, but she said prices had risen by a fifth since the Brexit referendum in June 2016. The Witney resident believes costs are likely to increase further, making it even more difficult to run the store. Read again: Florist says Brexit uncertainty means businesses have 'no clue' She said: “It’s been an uphill struggle for the last five years, but since the referendum things have got harder. “When the [value of the] pound dropped it made the costs go up. “People say ‘buy flowers in this country’, but I can’t, all we’re growing are tulips. I can’t stock flowers with one or two varieties. “The Dutch know what they’re doing as they’ve been doing it for hundreds of years." The decision will come as a shock to thousands o... https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/17558447.rosa-ashby-of-rosa-flowers-witney-blames-brexit-as-store-shuts/
