Rose bloomed in her flower shop, community - Prince George Citizen

Rose Pho Dorish 89 was born in Estavan, Sask. in 1927 to parents of Russian descent. The family has spent more than 100 years in Canada after leaving Odessa, Russia in the year of 1913.She owned and operated The House of Flowers, a florist shop that thrived because of her belief in a quality product and the delivery of good service. She did a tremendous amount of sales as a result of being associated with the Florist Transworld Delivery service also known as FTD. FTD was a floral wire service that was originally founded as Florists' Telegraph Delivery in 1910 to help customers send flowers remotely and on the same day by using florists in the FTD network who were near the intended recipient. With the arrival of credit cards, people could now bypass FTD and order flowers for delivery on their own through grocery stores as well as simply placing a long distance call to a florist in the intended location including overseas deliveries. article continues below Trending StoriesEventually FTD, who held a near monopoly position in the florist market, sold out to a private company and Rose's volume of business changed dramatically.

Flowers by Adela - Community Impact Newspaper

Adela Pendergrass, who opened Flowers By Adela on Feb. 1, 1977, at 3756 Cartwright Road and then opened a Sugar Land store five years later.By 2012, Ramona and Olan’s daughters, Olivia Ohl-Lara and Odessa Ohl, were working for the business full time.Flowers by Adela lists among its clients all Fort Bend ISD schools and the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce. Designs range from roses to tropical and artificial plants. Same-day delivery for orders placed by 3 p.m. is available.Out-of-state and international customers place orders for their friends or relatives who live in the area, Odessa said.“I even have this lady—she probably does this two times a year—she calls from London,” she said.The business has weathered two recessions in the Greater Houston area. The Ohls saw a drop in orders when the price of oil plummeted two years ago. So how has the business managed to stay afloat?“By the grace of God,” Odessa said.Web searches and social media now generate nearly 85 percent of customer orders, Ohl-Lara said.The Ohls are uncertain what the future holds for them. Olivia and Odessa said the long hours that require them to stay on their feet make it a physically demanding job.“It’s very hard work,” Ohl-Lara said. “You’re dealing with perishables … you can’t sit on these for a long period of time.”But the Ohls said a florist provides significant experience for the workplace and also for life in general.“We try to give everybody personal service and make it right,” Ohl-Lara said.

Midlander's startup food delivery service expands - Midland Reporter-Telegram

Ruston D. Hicks is the owner and operator of West Texas ToGo, which operates on-demand delivery services in Midland, Odessa, Lubbock and San Angelo. Hicks’ company began in Midland, but the Lee graduate and “proud Bobcat” got his start in the delivery game as a student in San Marcos.Hicks says he worked for CollegeDelivery.com while studying business at Texas State and learned the ropes of on-demand delivery. His real education, however, happened in 2012 when he started Tall City Delivery.On-demand delivery connects businesses that want to deliver but don’t have the staff and customers who are willing to pay a little extra to have products delivered to them. West Texas ToGo’s biggest clients are local restaurants.Customers visit West Texas ToGo’s website, finds a restaurant’s personalized page and menu and place their orders on the site. West Texas ToGo also handles credit card processing for the restaurants. After an order is placed, the restaurant is notified, the food is made and West Texas ToGo delivers.Hicks’ company isn’t the first to try the on-demand delivery concept in Midland. He said a previous company went under, leaving its clients in the lurch. That made entering the market difficult, but Hic... http://www.mrt.com/business/article_fb430344-5a87-11e6-b7cb-c3816c394696.html

Growth in gardening: August birth flowers - San Marcos Daily Record

Gladiolus byzantinus, sometimes known as cornflags, mark many old home sites and cemetery plots in Texas and the south. Their magenta and rarely-white flower spikes are smaller than the hybrids usually available in florists and nurseries.Another interesting gladiolus is Gladiolus natalensis, sometimes known as the parrot gladiolus. Flowers of this species, which is native to Africa, are larger than those of G. byzantinus, and are a brilliant combination of yellowish green and red. Both of these gladioli may be grown as perennials, and usually increase in numbers each year. They are commercially available, however, only from specialty bulb sources.As for the poppy, these comparatively dainty blooms are also available in a wide variety of colors. Red poppies symbolize pleasure, white ones are sent to console the recipient, and yellow poppies send a message of success and wealth. If you don’t want to choose a particular color, you can always plan on having a bouquet by planting a wide range of poppies of many colors in your garden.There is evidence of poppy culture back as far as 5,000 B.C. in the Tigris and Euphrates river region in modern day Iraq. Egyptian tombs contain poppies and the ancient Greeks associated them with Demeter, the goddess of fertility and agriculture. They considered the presence of poppies around a field of grain crops a sign of the goddess’ blessing, which insured a good harvest.Poppies are best planted directly out in the garden as they are not fond of being transplanted. They germinate best at soil temperatures in the 50s or 60s so mid fall is generally a good time to plant them.Select a location with full sun although a little shade is okay as long as they get at least six hours of direct sun. Build up a raised planting bed if the area is not well drained. Most species won’t tolerate soggy soil conditions at all.There are several that I know do very well in our area, I like Breadseed (Papaver somniferum) as their foliage is a grayish blue green and plants reach a height of 2 to 3 feet tall bearing single or double blooms in colors ranging from deep red to pink and lavender.Another nice one is Flanders Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) it has bright red blooms with one or two rows of slightly crinkly petals that somewhat resemble crepe paper. Flanders Poppies were brought to the Georgetown, Texas, area by local resident Henry Compton as he returned from service in France during World War One. These Flanders poppies are still found throughout the area, making Georgetown “The Red Poppy Capital of Texas.”Yet another beauty is the Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule) which sports some of the brightest colors in our Texas gardens. The blooms are rather large single flowers in glowing shades of white, yellow, coral orange, pink or red. The plants are typically 1 to 2 feet tall depending on variety and growing conditions.If you know somebody who is celebrating their birthday during the month of August, it’s always a good idea to consider these flowers as a suitable and meaningful gift. Be sure to let the recipient know that these are special August birth month flowers as most folks don’t even know that birth-flowers exist.--Joe Urbach is the publisher of GardeningAustin.com and the Phytonutrient Blog.
