A Pop-Up Shop at a Portland Florist Is Selling Cannabis Bouquets - The Portland Mercury
Tuesday, February 05, 2019Southeast Hawthorne will be host to a "Cannabis Flower Bouquet Pop-Up." Among their usual flowers and greenery, these colorful collections contain extremely fresh and subtly fragrant Oregon sun-grown hemp flowers from East Fork Cultivars. Starflower will be selling "bud vases" that contain some gorgeous, CBD-dominant, very-low-THC, and terpene-rich cannabis flower (AKA craft hemp), along with non-cannabis flowers in the arrangement for $15, $20, and $25, with full bouquets from $50 to $100 upon request. These beauties got comments from my Lyft drivers to and from the Mercury offices to be photographed. They have a mild cannabis smell—not an overpowering skunk aroma, but one certainly indicative of their shared linage with its THC-heavy relative. The buds are vibrant and rich, and pair remarkably well with the other flowers. “We've wanted to create and sell cannabis flower bouquets for years," writes East Fork Cultivars' co-founder and president, Nathan Howard.

Bullard, ‘Top Chef’ finalist Doug Adams’ Texas-inspired Portland restaurant, opens Saturday - OregonLive.com
Monday, December 17, 2018The whiskey is arranged behind the bar. The hearth fire is burning in the open kitchen. And the fictional flag of Bullard -- a custom cross between the flags of Texas and Oregon, complete with Texas longhorns pulling a covered wagon -- is hanging on the wall.As first reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive way back in September 2016, Bullard is meant to reflect both Adams’ Texas upbringing and his current Oregon home. In practice, that means carefully sourced meat, fish and produce, much of it treated with smoke or live fire, alongside veggie-forward Southern sides. In my head, I’ve been calling it “Tex-Oregana.” I’m not sure that will stick.The restaurant isn’t the only thing opening Saturday. Alongside Bullard, the Woodlark will debut in the historic Woodlark and Cornelius buildings on Southwest Alder Street. Next week, on the other side of the hotel, Quist and Adams will launch Abigail Hall, a handsome cocktail bar with hand-painted flowers on the walls and painstakingly recreated historical details throughout. In the lobby, the folks from Good Coffee will serve espresso and Texas-style smoked sausage kolaches baked each day at Bullard.Downtown's newest hotel combines two historic buildingsLeaning back on one of those booths, George Harrison and The Band playing softly through the restaurant’s speakers, Adams seems a little dazed and confused that his dream restaurant is actually about to open.“It’s so fortunate to get to do this, to have so many people help you with your dream, and then two years later it’s like, whoa, I didn’t know I had such awesome taste!" Adams laughs. "Sure, I didn’t get my stuffed grizzly bear…”“Next year,” Quist jokes. “At the one-year anniversary.” The fictional flag of Bullard, a blend of the Oregon and Texas flags, complete with Texas longhorns pulling a covered wagon. Beth NakamuraAdams comes back to Earth once the topic turns to food.“It’s not really barbecue,” Adams says. “There are no plates of s... https://www.oregonlive.com/dining/2018/12/bullard-top-chef-finalist-doug-adams-texas-inspired-portland-restaurant-opens-saturday.html
