Florists in Waterville, Fairfield, Oakland experience busy May - Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel

A lot of people who grew up here aren’t here anymore,” Karter said.Roland Hallee, who will be taking over July 1 as the superintendent at Pine Grove Cemetery in Waterville, said he has noticed that most of the arrangements are placed in the newer section of the cemetery, toward the back. There are fewer flowers in the section by Grove Street, where headstones bear dates going back to the 1800s, he said. “It seems like most of those families no longer have people around to take care of the flowers,” Hallee said.While Hallee hasn’t been with the cemetery long enough to say whether the number of arrangements at graves has decreased or increased, he said he’s observed that most are potted plants or bouquets; and while there are some planted perennials at graves, that’s “the exception.”At KMD Florist and Gift House on Kennedy Memorial Drive, manager and master florist Jesse Rowell said Memorial Day historically has been a busy time for the shop. It does fresh flower arrangements; red, white and blue flowers; wreaths; and containers with flowers. “It’s quite an abundance in the diversity of sales,” he said, adding, “Every- and anything you could ever think of.”Like Benner, Rowell said the entire month of May is typically busy for KMD, with some nights going as late as 2 a.m. He said last week and this week have been busy, but the store will be closed Sunday through Tuesday. Memorial Day and Easter tend to be smaller holidays, he said, with the bigger ones being Mother’s Day, which can last an entire week, and Valentine’s Day, which is usually just a single day. Christmas is also a busy time, but Rowell said that stretches out over the month. Lisa Rossignol, the owner of Vision Flowers and Bridal Designs in Oakland, said Memorial Day is a good holiday in terms of flower sales, but not one of the busiest. She said over the years, her business has had regular customers who stay true and buy flowers for Memorial Day, but it also has been fortunate to pick up new customers. Like others, Rossignol said May has been a busy month, but the business stays prepared.Colin Ellis — 861-9253[email protected]Twitter: @colinoellis... http://www.centralmaine.com/2017/05/26/florists-in-waterville-fairfield-and-oakland-experience-busy-may/

Tulpehocken St., Pine Grove.PINE GROVE — Renee Warner’s late mother, Marilyn Murray, thought her daughter’s favorite flowers were yellow lilies.When Renee, and her Pine Grove native husband, Clint Warner, were preparing to wed in Las Vegas, her mother sent a dozen yellow lilies to her for the special occasion. As it turns out, the Texan was hoping for calla lilies instead. A southern drawl during the translation somehow turned “calla” into “yella,” Renee Warner recalled Monday in her Pine Grove floral shop, Petals.The Warners, two Air Force veterans lured by Pine Grove’s small-town charm, returned to Clint’s Schuylkill County roots to launch their new business venture and incorporate Renee’s southern flair.

Man Says Indianapolis Florist Denied Him Service Over Gay Marriage - Newsweek

Many people in the LGBT community feared that the law could be used to discriminate against people for their sexual orientation, The Indiana Star reported.In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado baker had the constitutional right to deny service to a gay couple in 2012 because of his religious beliefs. The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, Jack Phillips, refused to sell a wedding cake to Charlie Craig and David Mullins, a gay couple. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and claimed Phillips was discriminating against the two based on their sexual orientation. Phillips said he wouldn’t sell them the cake due to his religious beliefs. The Supreme Court sided with Phillips, saying "the reason and motive for the baker's refusal were based on his sincere religious beliefs and convictions."This story has been updated to include comment from David Elliott. .node-type-article .article-body p:last-of-type::after, .node-type-slideshow .article-body p:last-of-type::after{content:none}... https://www.newsweek.com/man-denied-service-florist-gay-marriage-1040569

Nevada Ave., a full-service florist and gift shop.The charming 1899 house she bought probably was never a carriage house, but the name hearkens back to Berdon's childhood, when she and her siblings played in a friend's carriage house in the Old North End - not far from her new shop. "I just love this part of town. It's a great location," she said. "From here we can attract students from Colorado College and residents from the North End. We also have a ton of clients from Mountain Shadows, Peregrine and The Broadmoor neighborhoods."Berdon said she knew a downtown or shopping center site wouldn't be right for her vision. She sought out the quaint multi-room home with a large re... https://gazette.com/life/floral-design-and-gift-shop-is-colorado-springs-native-s/article_480fe80d-37e6-515c-b78d-de049d4293f6.html
