We Ordered Bouquets From 6 Online Flower-Delivery Services - New York Magazine

Our thoughts: Our grown-in-California flowers (the Ace arrangement) arrived two days after ordering (although you can opt for next-day or same-day delivery depending on the type of bouquet). As described on the site, the rainbow freesias (ours were purple, yellow, and white) came in bud form, which, while maybe not the most stunning upon first impression, lasted longer than some of the flowers that arrived already opened up. If you’re buying these as a gift, though, we’d recommend choosing an in-bloom variety — like this chrysanthemum, pink carnation, purple rose, and solomio bouquet, since the buds make for an underwhelming presentation. TL;DR: These cut-... http://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-flower-delivery-services.html

California is in the midst of another ‘super bloom.’ Here’s when Daffodil Hill will open - Modesto Bee

Although the winter deluge has ushered in a ‘super bloom’ among California wildflowers, it also stalled the annual opening of the Amador County tourist destination Daffodil Hill. The family that runs Daffodil Hill announced Monday on Facebook that it will open for the season Saturday. But if you’re interested, you should go soon. The McLaughlin family, who owns the Gold Rush-era ranch, warned that rain next week could take the bloom off the annual show. “It is unknown how long this season will last as we are expecting more rain 4/2-4/7. We are only open as long as the weather allows so please check the weather forecast before visiting,” Daffodil Hill wrote on Facebook. While much of California has enjoyed a super bloom, it’s been a slow season for daffodils. Video posted two weeks ago to the Facebook page showed young daffodil sprouts with a few sparse yellow flowers. On a good year – as in spring 2017 – more than 300,000 flowers can explode across the ranch’s 36 acres, drawing visitors from across the region, though remaining open for only a couple weeks before closing. Daffodil Hill, which is home to peacocks, chickens and miniature donkeys in addition to the flowers, was purchased by the McLaughlin family in 1887. Gold Rush mining and farming equipment are on display and an original 1880s barn still stands on the ranch. If you go ... https://www.modbee.com/news/state/california/article228152509.html

One Creative Couples Wedding at an Los Angeles Antique Shop - Brides

Facebook in March 2014, and were soon messaging, then texting, and then chatting before they realized that, yes, something was there. The only problem: Claire was living in California, while Eric was in Delaware. "Long distance had been something we’d both tried to avoid, so a 3,000-mile distance barrier seemed daunting," Claire says. "Nonetheless, we fell for each other! So after a few months of back-and-forth trips, it felt like the easiest decision ever when Eric packed up his car and his beloved dog, Etta, and we drove cross country all together to move him to L.A.."After settling into Los Angeles, the couple continued their relationship there—and even bought a house—before Eric popped the question at Claire's favorite bar on her birthday, September 23, 2016. "Eric got down on one knee and proposed in a massive backyard full of random 20-somethings," she recalls. "All I remember saying was “F*#& yes!” and then a few of my closest friends jumped out of the bushes and started celebrating with us. It was an epic night." Of course, the couple chose to marry in Los Angeles as well, and found Big Daddy's Antiques, an authentic shop that doubles as an event venue, as the place to house their 205 guests. "We stumbled upon it almost by accident, but walked in the door and knew it was perfect," Claire explains. "Our relationship is a lot like Big Daddy’s, which has some of the most unique, priceless antiques in town but also s... https://www.brides.com/story/one-creative-couples-wedding-at-an-los-angeles-antique-shop

This D.C. florist secret to surviving 114 years and four generations - The Washington Post

People say, ‘Gosh, why don’t you put a shop in Virginia? Why don’t you put one in Maryland?’” Mike said. “The thing about this is we like to have control over the product and the employees and everyone. That way, you can take care of your quality. If you start branching out more and more, then you have more headaches.”Boxes of flowers come in the back door, and beautiful arrangements fly out the front. Besides the trucks, they have some refrigerators and a computer. “With flowers, you want to move those out two, three days after you get them in,” Mike said. “It’s not like food where you can put it in the freezer. You want to keep that product moving.”The Washington economy does its part.“You are insulated by being in D.C., between the government, the individual businesses and the law firms,” he said. “We have been at this location since 1968. The rents keep escalating. I try to get in as long a lease as I can. I signed one a couple of years ago for 10 years.”[A first lesson on the stock market: Don’t run from a good sale]Mike’s brothers, Tim and Steven, split responsibilities. Tim takes care of technology and billing. Steve handles hard and soft items such as vases and fruit. Phil orders most of the flowers and is the ambassador and face of the company.Everything about Phil is flowers. He lives in a Montgomery County neighborhood called (I am not making this up) Flower Valley. His house is on Jasmine Drive.
