A little bit of spring right now - Store helps people surround themselves with greenery - Brown County Democrat
Sunday, February 10, 2019Saturday. They deliver in Nashville and outside of the area. Ironweed Flowers and Gifts is about surrounding yourself with flowers, plants and nature.The floral and gift shop, at 188 S. Jefferson St., opened last April. The building was previously home to the Village Florist.“Everything in here, I try to get flower-related. I love flowers and plants. I wanted it to be something different in Nashville. That’s what we’re trying for, something that maybe other shops don’t have. It’s a mixture of old and new,” owner Debbie Herring said.Herring and her family also own the Brown County Inn. She and her husband, Barry, moved to the county six years ago, but they have owned land for 22 years and built a cabin there. The family would come down on the weekends and for holidays before they moved here full time.Story continues below gallery #td_uid_2_5c60e3259d2b3 .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1{background:url(https://d1bdhkmqqz901h.cloudfront.net/80x60/smart/http://www.bcdemocrat.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/02/c2d8af83061f73e48e8c64a50573fa14-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_2_5c60e3259d2b3 .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2{background:url(https://d1bdhkmqqz901h.cloudfront.net/80x60/smart/http://www.bcdemocrat.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/02/eda8b857a660f2db58a0f827404c086c-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}#td_uid_2_5c60e3259d2b3 .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3{background:url(https://d1bdhkmqqz901h.cloudfront.net/80x60/smart/http://www.bcdemocrat.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/... http://www.bcdemocrat.com/2019/02/08/a_little_bit_of_spring_right_now_floral_shop_prides_itself_on_handpicked_customer_service/

Steve's Valencia Florist closing after 45 years - Santa Clarita Valley Signal
Tuesday, April 16, 2019When you enter Steve’s Valencia Florist, a small business off Lyons Avenue in Newhall, the door always chimes a cheery “Ding dong.” In recent years, it has chimed a little longer. On repeat, on repeat, on repeat — mostly because Penny the pit bull, the resident pet, likes to sit in an exact spot a foot from the door that will cause the sensor to keep pulsing.Penny will greet anyone on a quest to find the best flower with a droopy look in her eyes, and a slight, friendly pant of her tongue, enjoying the company each time a customer walks through to find the best pot, the best plant, the best bloom to suit their occasion.“She gets mad if she doesn’t get to come here,” her owner, Jan Hanauer, said with a chuckle.But Penny is the last to know that, on Saturday, she will lie there for the last time as Steve’s Valencia Florist closes its doors after 45 years of business.“Penny doesn’t know we’re closing,” Hanauer said on Wednesday, three days before the last day of operations and three days before she’ll sell the last of t... https://signalscv.com/2019/01/steves-valencia-florist-closing-after-45-years/
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

Growth in gardening: August birth flowers - San Marcos Daily Record
Tuesday, April 16, 2019Asiatic lilies, carnations, roses and various members of the daisy family. Gladiolus flowers are available in various captivating colors which makes this flower a florist’s favorite as arrangements are always bright and full of joy.A member of the iris family, “glads” are also called sword lilies because of their sharply pointed leaves and tall stalks of flowers with pointed tips. The Latin name for Gladiolus is “gladius,” which quite literally means “sword,” so this is a very clear reference to the sword-swinging gladiators of ancient Roman times.There are 255 species of gladiolus and the plants range in size from two to five feet tall with elegant trumpet-shaped blossoms that grow in a double row along the stem. You can find hybrid varieties with ruffled, wavy or frilled petals and the flowers can be found in every color.Gladiolus is native to tropical Africa and areas around the Mediterranean and Middle East. It is believed that gladiolus plants were first brought to Europe in the early 18th century. Around the 1820s, gardeners began to seriously cultivate gladiolus and create hybrid varieties that became very popular in gardens and as cut flowers.Around 1837, new green, brown and purple shades of gladiolus flowers were developed in Belgium. In 1870, the French introduced a newly discovered species with deep purple streaks. By the 1880s, German and other European plant breeders had developed over 2,000 named varieties of gladiolus, which first appeared in American nurseries around 1891 and became wildly popular.In floral history, gladiolus flowers have several different meanings. Because of their association with gladiators, they traditionally symbolize strength, sincerity and moral integrity. Gladiolus flowers also represent remembrance, calm and integrity.
