Wednesday, April 11, 2018POTSDAM -- Bailey’s Canton-Potsdam Florist, on the Potsdam-Morley Road, has closed after nearly 90 years in business.Owner Joretta Creighton, now 80 years old, says her age has caught up to her and she feels she can no longer provide the service she wants for her customers.Creighton posted a message on Bailey’s Facebook page Monday:“Since 1928, Bailey's Florist has had the privilege of tending to all your floral needs. We have been there for weddings, funerals, get wells, happy birthday and just because too. The time has come, however, to close the doors.“In September I turned 80 years old and have been working for the better part of 65 years. My bones and my eyes are not as good as they once were. As much as I have enjoyed the business, I am content with the idea of resting on the days my knees tell me not to get up!! I also must admit that I no longer desire to drive on the winter roads, unless they are taking me somewhere I wish to go.“I have truly enjoyed helping so many of you for SO many years!! I will miss chatting on the phone and having visitors stop in to say Hi.“Thank you for all your support.“Always, J... http://northcountrynow.com/business/baileys-canton-potsdam-florist-closes-after-nearly-90-years-business-0222254

'A handful of little carnations': Customers complain Bloomex's bouquets don't always arrive as advertised - CBC.ca
Tuesday, April 16, 2019I looked at the card and it was from me," said Hodnett."It was just very cheap-looking … I was so embarrassed," said Hodnett. "I just wanted to hide it."5 bouquetsBilling itself "Canada's official florist," Bloomex advertises that it purchases flowers directly from growers and suppliers in order to deliver a fresh product to customers for a better price.The Ottawa-based company also claims to be Canada's largest florist and operates nationally, shipping products from eight warehouses across the country. Bloomex also sells other products, like gourmet gift baskets and balloons. To test the quality of Bloomex's products, Marketplace ordered five different bouquets from the online retailer to be delivered within the Toronto area.None arrived within the selected delivery window, even though Marketplace had paid extra for them to be delivered at that time. Delivery confirmation emails for each bouquet also arrived prior to any of the bouquets being delivered.Marketplace also showed all five bouquets to Don Waltho, a longtime florist and founder of the Canadian Institute of Floral Design (CIFD), a private career college registered with the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, asking him to compare the delivered products with the flowers that were advertised on Bloomex's website.Overall, Waltho graded all five bouquets as a "fail" due to the poor quality and condition of the flowers; he also identified many flowers that were missing or where others were substituted in. ?Bloomex's substitution policy states that "due to our order volume fluctuation, we reserve the right to substitute with similar product of equal or greater value." But with the bouquets Marketplace received, Waltho said that wasn't always the case. He noted all of the greenery in the bouquets was leather fern, for example, what he described as a cheap substitute for th... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/online-florist-delivery-marketplace-1.4913560
This florist started caring for ailing orchids on the side. He’s now babysitting 13,000. - The Washington Post
Tuesday, April 16, 2019The 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
