Angee's Flowers offers flower arrangements for every occasion - Carlsbad Current-Argus

Lamberth said her tropical flowers are typically flown in from Hawaii via distributors. Roses come from Ecuador. Flowers come from Honduras or Guatemala, and bulbs come from Holland. "It's a global market," Lamberth said.  For that custom touch, Lamberth goes to the cooler stocked with dozens of species of flowers, greenery and plants. "I picked up experience from doing flowers different ways," Lamberth said of her experience in arrangements, weddings, event planning and home decor. "It's important to keep in mind the occasion, because flowers act differently and you arrange for that occasion." More: Doña Ana Community College recognizes outstanding graduates Back to business At the age of 14, Lamberth took a job in her aunt's flower shop - which, coincidentally happened to be in the same building that now houses Angee's Flowers. By word of mouth - at the Elk's bunco night - an acquaintance learned of a building for sale. When Lamberth learned the address, she said she recognized it as the "old Flower Patch" building. "To be able to come into this building and help remodel it into the way I know I can work, taking everything from all the shops I've ever worked in and begin able to make it mine — I love it," Lamberth said. Angee's Flowers is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Visit the shop's website at angeesflowers.com. Anyone struggling to choose the perfect arrangement was recommended by Lamberth to ask about the "Free Spirit," a bi-colored orange and red rose she stocks year-round. It's her favorite.  Jessica Onsurez can be reached at 575-628-5531, jonsurez@currentargus.com or @JussGREAT on Twitter.

A little bit of the tropics comes to Moraga - Lamorindaweekly

Orchids Away." The entire room was bathed with the scent of multi-colored and varying species of orchids. A virtual vacation for the olfactory glands. Centerpieces involved displays with boats, leis, Hawaiian statuary, bird cages, ornate pottery and even Easter egg ornaments. The décor did not outshine the club members who came dressed in outfits bearing flower motifs. As if all of this wasn't enough to prove what the Moraga Garden Club is all about, the luncheon's guest speaker sent the day's theme over the top. Valerie Lee Ow, proprietor of J. Miller Flowers and Gifts in Oakland, whipped up beautiful flower arrangements with such speed and precision, the crowd was left begging for more. Ow, a 15-year member of the Lafayette Garden Club, has taken over the 49-year-old helm of her family-owned florist shop. If any proof was needed to confirm her skills as a master florist, Ow's creations have been featured in the de Young Museum's prestigious Bouquets to Art exhibit for 20 years. This year's museum exhibition marks the 35th anniversary, and according to the DeYoung it's "one of the Museum's most popular events." It's a "weeklong display of floral designs inspired by the works of art in the de Young's galleries." Explained Ow, "I didn't initially want to do the Bouquets to Art, because I'd have to drive into San Francisco every day to replenish the flowers." This year's displays feature the arrangements of 150 designers. Ow's assignment this year is to florally replicate painter Frederic Edwin Church's masterpiece "Rainy Season in the Tropics." "There are no awards or prizes," Ow said. "It's the thrill of being part of the event." During the luncheon, Ow recreated several of her previous Bouquets to Art entries which her daughter, Jacqueline Ow, compared with copies of the original works of art.

After A Fire Destroyed 7000 Of His Plants, Kansas City's Orchid Grower Comes Out Of His Cave - KCUR

David Bird never gets bored with his plants. Orchids, he notes, are the largest family of blooming plants on Earth, with almost 30,000 species. He's been hooked ever since a family trip to Hawaii in 1978, when he bought five Dendrobium orchids.In 2001, he began growing orchids in a cave on East 23rd Street near I-435 at the Interstate Underground Warehouse. Bird's Botanicals had 10,000 plants in five rooms. "It was a very unique situation. We were becoming a tourist attraction," Bird says. "When you'd drive into the cave to see us, it's kind of dark, it's kind of dingy, and all of a sudden, you open up this door and there's this room full of thousands and thousands of plants. You could smell them with the fragrances and the color." All of that changed in the fall when the cave's owner burned a large pile of trash that had accumulated on top of the cave. Smoke from the fire seeped into Bird's ventilation system, instantly affecting the delicate flowers. He estimates that he lost nearly 7,000 plants. "I think watching your plants die is the worst thing you could possibly have to deal with," he says, "after 16 years of watching your plants grow and flourish and bloom."
