LA florists set up shop in Castle Rock - Longview Daily News

While working as a floral designer in Los Angeles, Jason Vorse created arrangements in $5 million malachite crystal urns for Princess Beatrice of York’s sweet-16 birthday party. He set up flowers for Ashton Kutcher’s wedding to Demi Moore in the middle of the night in unmarked vehicles to avoid the paparazzi.And yet, after working nearly two decades with prestigious floral design studios in Los Angeles, Vorse decided to move back to his hometown and open Pollen Floral Works with his husband, Vicente.Vorse, son of Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce Vice President Mike Vorse, started his first job at All Season Garden Center in Kelso when he was 16. All Season is now closed, but Vorse said his time there was influential.“They kind of installed that interest in the plant world and … I ran with it,” said Vorse, now 38. “I drifted over to the floral side after I started playing with the products that I was growing in my yard.”Vorse attended the Seattle Floral Design Institute and then moved to Los Angeles in 2000, honing a signature look that he describes as contemporary, romantic and modern.After years of living in a big city, the Vorses decided to slow down their pace and find a smaller, closer-knit co... http://tdn.com/news/local/la-florists-set-up-shop-in-castle-rock/article_9a9186d2-1096-58a0-aa53-0c20a45a6618.html

Esscents Candles now offers flowers for all occasions - Coos Bay World

Armstrong just recently obtained the floral cooler from Auntie Em's Floral & Gifts, which was located in the Continuum Building across Second Street from Esscents. Owner Emily Bright moved to Idaho over the holidays to be closer to family and offered to sell some of her floral equipment to Armstrong."For about 1 1/2 years I've been wanting to bring something else into the shop to go along with candles, something that goes well with the name," Armstrong said. "Everything friends and family suggested didn't quite seem to fit, then someone said, 'What about flowers?' I didn't want to do that because of Emily, so when I heard she was leaving, I started to put things into motion."Thus Esscents Candles & Floral bloomed into existence.Armstrong met experienced floral designer Natalie Brookwell through Bright and began learning how to make arrangements under her tutelage. Brookwell has been creating and teaching floral arrangements since 1978 and was educated through the Ken Gilley School of Floral Design. Brookwell lived in Bandon previously for about five years after coming from Medford and about a year ago moved back to the area from Hood River."I've wanted to get into flowers for a long time, but my mother has the green thumb, not me," Armstrong said. "But I think I'm a quick learner and I thought bringing the flowers in would mesh well with candles."Esscents Candles & Flor... http://theworldlink.com/bandon/news/business/esscents-candles-now-offers-flowers-for-all-occasions/article_e628a50b-2390-5fde-ae2a-571a0059ad89.html

Support piling up in Arlene's Flowers request for Supreme Court review - Tri-City Herald

One brief asking that the Arlene’s Flower case be considered was filed on behalf of 29 members of Congress, including Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah and James Risch of Idaho. No Washington members of Congress were among them.“This case involves more than a clash between norms of non-discrimination and religious freedom,” the court filing said.The more fundamental question in both the florist’s and baker’s cases “is whether a government can coerce religious believers to speak or act contrary to their sincerely held religious beliefs,” it said.Briefs also were filed with the Supreme Court by 14 states or their governors. They include Arkansas, Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.Among the groups that filed friend-of-the court briefs were the Cato Institute, Becket Fund for Religious Freedom, the Restoring Religious Freedom Project and the Thomas More Society.Stutzman and her corporation were sued by Washington state’s attorney general, Bob Ferguson, and the American Civil Liberties Union, on behalf of Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed, who were refused flower arrangements for their wedding.Stutzman, a Southern Baptist, said she declined her services not because of Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed’s sexual orientation, but because of her religious views on marriage. She argued that arranging flowers is artistic expression protected under the First Amendment.“As a Christian, weddings have a particular significance,” she wrote in an op-ed for The Seattle Times. “I just couldn’t see a way clear in my heart to honor God with the talents He has given me by going against the word He has given us.”But the state Supreme Court justices affirmed the 2015 ruling in Benton County Superior Court. They unanimously agreed that the owner of Arlene’s Flowers violated Washington’s anti-discrimination law and the Consumer Protection Act by declining to provide services based on sexual orientation.If the U.S. Supreme Court agrees to hear the florist’s case, friends-of-the-court briefs also are likely to be filed in support of the couple denied service. Many briefs were filed supporting the couple and the state of Washington when the case went to the state Supreme Court.“Religious freedom is a fundamental part of America,” said Kathleen Taylor, executive director of ACLU of Washington. “But religious beliefs do not give any of us a right to ignore the law or to harm others because of who they are.”When people experience discrimination, they feel they are not full and equal members of our society, she said. http://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/article169702567.html

Flowers named after famous adventurer grow in Shasta County - Redding Record Searchlight

Clarkia borealis ssp. borealis) is confined almost entirely to Shasta County.(Photo: Steve Laymon)Lewis and Clark first encountered a clarkia (Clarkia pulchella, deerhorn clarkia) in what is now Idaho in May 1806. The genus was later named after William Clark. Clarkias are in the evening primrose family (Onagraceae) and are characterized by attractive pink to red flowers that tend to bloom in late spring and early summer, leading to one of their common names, farewell to spring.California is the center of distribution for the genus. Of the 66 taxa (41 species and 25 subspecies) of clarkia in the world, all except seven are found in California. Of those seven, three, including the deerhorn clarkia, are found in northwestern United States, and one species with four subspecies is found in South America, in Chile.Thirteen taxa of clarkias have been collected in Shasta County. Of these, six are relatively common and have been found at multiple locations in the county. Three others have been found at two or three locations, and four have been found at only one location in the county. The six most common Shasta County clarkias are:The wine cup or four-spot clarkia (Clarkia purpurea ssp. quadrivulnera) is the most com... http://www.redding.com/story/life/2017/08/31/flowers-named-after-famous-adventurer-grow-shasta-county/613168001/
