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.

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.

Petals by the Beach uses donation to spread kindness through flowers - A beach florist got an unusual contribution and request recently: $500 from a Pacific Beach woman to pass out flowers to random passers-by. “We have never seen such generosity ... - San Diego Community News

That was pretty cool.”The donation came from Pacific Beach resident Thera Storm, who is a grief counselor. Storm said the recent back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, that left at least 31 people dead, prompted her to do something extraordinary.“After those two shootings within 13 hours of each other, I noticed the reaction on Facebook was just so scary and negative,” said Storm. “The next morning I sat down and thought, ‘What could I do that’s positive?’ Then I had the idea of donating money to a local flower shop.”Storm was almost afraid of the reaction she’d get from Cummings, whom she didn’t know, when she approached her with her unorthodox plan. But Storm shouldn’t have worried.“She donated a generous amount at our shop for us to pass out flowers to complete strangers,” said Cummings. “She wasn’t paying it forward. In her words, ‘She wanted to spread kindness to the masses.’”Cummings took Storm’s money and honored her request.“For two weeks I’ve been passing out flowers every day to random people walking by of all different ages,” Cummings said, adding she wasn’t embarrassed about it. “I just said, ‘We had a customer recently donate a significant amount of money, and we’re spreading kindness and happiness.’”The reaction to Storm’s flower donation has been uplifting. “People said that is so nice, we need more of that,” said Cummings, adding, “A few people even cried. I began taking pictures (of recipients) and putting them on our Facebook and Instagram pages.”“I feel like I had a very small, passive role,” said Storm of her gesture. “All of the work has been done by Melissa.”It’s Storm's practice to take 10 percent of every paycheck and stash it away to do something special at a later date. Asked if being a grief counselor facto... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27660789/article-Petals-by-the-Beach-uses-donation-to-spread-kindness-through-flowers-?instance=bbp

Flowers from all over the world sent to El Paso victim's funeral - WKMG News 6 & ClickOrlando

EL PASO, Texas (CNN) - Antonio Basco stood in front of his wife's casket for two hours Friday hugging strangers. The El Paso man initially thought no one would show up for his wife's visitation service. His wife, Margie Reckard, 63, was killed when a gunman opened fire at a Walmart. The couple had no relatives in the area. Basco walked into the La Paz Faith Memorial and Spiritual Center to a storm of applause and a procession of people wanting to hug him. The building was at capacity with 400 mourners. Outside, another 700 waited in nearly 100-degree heat to pay respects, according to funeral organizers. "People were telling me they came from different faiths, different cities. It's just incredible how much love and support every single one of you has shown," Reckard's grandson, Tyler, said.   Margie 'always had a smile on her face'   Reckard's son, D... https://www.clickorlando.com/news/national/flowers-from-all-over-the-world-sent-to-el-paso-victims-funeral
