Sang, Cuffe rule Bridge of Flowers

That’s when Chicopee’s Amos Sang came charging, however. Sang, the 2014 champion, closed the gap on the downhill portion following the summit, and eventually took the lead as he and Leibold turned onto the brief spell of Route 112 just before Mile 4. It was tight down the stretch, with the pair swapping spots twice, before Sang broke free late and crossed with his second Bridge of Flowers title in 25:13. Leibold settled for second place, nine seconds back in 25:22.“Today was more about conserving speed,” began Sang of the race. “After (Crittenden Hill), it’s a gradual downhill so I was able to pick up momentum and speed. I didn’t want to do anything crazy the first mile and a half. Just keep (Leibold) in sight and try and reel him in later in the race.”Leibold, who starred at Georgetown and was eventually an All-American at Stanford, said his strategy was to make a move on the uphill portion of the race. Growing up in Virginia, he said Crittenden Hill reminded him of jaunts through the Shenandoah Valley near his grandparents’ house.“(Crittenden) was longer and steeper though,” he said with a laugh. “I used it as a place to go for the win. I was trying to get away on the hill and keep pressing down the hill. I was able to get some momentum and open up the pack a bit. (Sang) kept the pressure on.”Indeed, Sang’s closing speed in the final mile-plus was the difference. The 29-year-old 2014 champion is part of the Western Mass. Distance Project, and he’s fresh off a New England 5-mile championship back in June.“I really made a point of having that closing speed,” explained Sang. “I was able to pick it up around Mile 3 and then that fifth mile, it was a sprint.”Framingham’s Benjamin Groleau finished third overall in 25:37, as he was in the lead pack for much of the first half of the race before Sang and Leibold separated themselves. Two-time champion Glarius Rop of Agawam was fourth in 26:03, followed in fifth place by Teague O’Connor of Burlington, Vt. (26:10). Shelburne Falls’ Dan Smith was the top local runner across the Iron Bridge, finishing ninth in 27:21.Cuffe and Leibold moved to Massachusetts just two weeks ago, as Leibold began medical school at UMass in Worcester last... https://www.recorder.com/Bridge-of-Flowers-19415790

Thorns and roses: Looking at the good, bad and ugly of the Philadelphia Flower Show - PW-Philadelphia Weekly

But to its credit, the Flower Show did host the first Philadelphia Water Summit where experts discussed water issues and realities here on Earth and the joy of finding it in Space – for $100 a ticket.As I gathered provided information on the designs behind each display, I realized some didn’t even have a word on the design and were rather about the companies, particularly landscaping companies, trying to market themselves. Even one of the gardens had the sponsor Subaru cars in it.“Come on!”But while much of the show was a fake as a plastic plant, through the thicket of over-commodified stands and pandering displays were the small designs by flower artists and enthusiasts as well as garden clubs with hopes of recognition and possibly a blue ribbon.TWITTER: @ANDREAJCANTOR ... http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/news/thorns-and-roses-looking-at-the-good-bad-and-ugly/article_6da6f636-27ad-11e8-8d89-37fd47ffa0a9.html

FIORE florist grew business out of grit and hustle

Florist Shannon Pallin, owner of FIORE on Main Street in Pensacola, offers far more than exquisite and unique flowers and arrangements. She also designs, styles and executes chic events including weddings, parties, and other events in Pensacola and across the Gulf Coast. The unexpected journey from scrappy college-aged entrepreneur to New York florist to downtown Pensacola business owner took a lot of drive and persistence. Pallin’s 25 years of experience is comprehensive and hard-earned. She quit college at the age of 19 to open her first floral shop, All Occasions. “I told my dad, ‘I’m going to drop out of college and open a flower shop.’ He said, ‘No, you’re not,’ and I said, ‘Yes, I am.’ And I did. I had some flyers made, got on my bicycle and rode around La Jolla, an affluent community near San Diego where we lived, putting flyers on the windshields of Mercedes Benz and Rolls Royce’s, offering to sell flowers, do home decor design and help with events. My grandparents helped me get my business off the ground,” Pallin said. Her parents met in Pensacola — her mother lived here and her father was a pilot in the U.S. Navy. When Pallin and her brother... https://www.pnj.com/story/life/2018/08/25/pensacola-florist-grew-fiore-business-out-grit-and-hustle/1070517002/

A Florist's Romantic Wedding at Ryland Inn

December 2013 and hit it off nearly nine years later. After dating for another four years, John suggested they take a trip to California to celebrate Valentine's Day. (The bride is a florist at Twisted Willow Flowers and it was the first holiday she was taking off from her shop, so it was an occasion to celebrate on its own.) But John had other plans in mind when we proposed at the La Jolla cove in San Diego on February 11, 2017.Just over a year later, on March 23, 2018, the couple invited 142 to celebrate with them at Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. "We have worked events there and the staff, service, and food are just incredible," says the florist bride. "We chose the coach house for its eclectic rustic feel!" And, of course, the flowers were important to Amanda and John. "Flowers were super important in the overall vision for the day," she explains. "We really wanted to make it feel like spring with blooms, even though the temperature outside didn’t agree. There was a massive snowstorm two days before the wedding!" But, despite the weather, the bride and groom filled the space with so many bright blooms and warmly-lit candles that it nearly felt like a spring day inside the inn's rustic cottage. So if you're a fan of b... https://www.brides.com/story/a-florists-romantic-wedding-at-ryland-inn
