Perspective | This D.C. florist secret to surviving 114 years and four generations - The Washington Post
Tuesday, February 05, 2019Cheryl Diaz MeyerFor The Washington Post<caption>Phil Caruso, right, and his son Michael Caruso at the family business, Caruso Florist, which was started in Washington in 1903. It is one of Washington’s most durable businesses.</caption> I lope with my Tumi backpack east down M Street NW across Connecticut Avenue on a humid August morning in Washington. On the sidewalk in front of me is an eruption of petunias, roses and sunflowers that make me think I am on the way to Emerald City.“It’s so people know we are open,” owner Phil Caruso says as I arrive. Caruso, 86, his fist full of roses, plants himself amid the melange and hands out singles to passersby.“To brighten your day,” he says as he hands a rose to a woman, who performs a balancing act with her coffee thermos and rolled-up newspaper. His Caruso Florist is a Washington institution, a 114-year-old family business that sells $2 million worth of flowers and fruit boxes each year.

How Florists Delivered 25,000 "Freedom" Roses to Nancy Pelosi - Washingtonian
Tuesday, January 22, 2019Democratic majority,” Hogarth says. The call for donations that Daily Kos sent out through its newsletter subscription service raised money at an astonishing rate. According to the Washington Post, within just a few hours they had the money to purchase thousands of roses. They ended up sending 25,000 roses at 89 cents a stem, or $22,000. And that doesn’t include the cost of a local florist processing the shipment for delivery.So how exactly does one procure 25,000 long-stemmed red roses in a pinch in the DMV? In this case, Daily Kos managed to go from collection to delivery in just a few days. Though in hindsight, Hogarth does suggest working just a few more days into your timeline. (“If I could do it all over again, I’d give it a minimum of a week,” says Hogarth.)The order was put in to Potomac Floral Wholesale this past Friday morning. By Tuesday, King had called to let Daily Kos know that 10,000 flowers had arrived from South America. They came in through Florida and were driven up the coast to DC. According to King, red roses come in 20-50 different varieties with names like “Red Paris” and “Sexy Red.” By coincidence, the 25,000 destined for Pelosi were all of a single variety, “Freedom.”Here’s the thing about ordering a large quantity of flowers wholesale: they don’t show up arranged in a cute vase. The blooms come straight from the fields, wild and packed into large cardboard boxes.In order to make the flowers presentable for their Capitol Hill debut, Daily Kos hired Angela Brunson of Blue Iris Flowers in Eastern Market to process the blooms; That means picking them up, unpacking them, cutting the stems, removing excessive foliage, arranging them in buckets, and delivering them. Brunson began working on the flowers on the Tuesday that they arrived. “To my knowledge it was like an all-day, all-night process,” says King. “Someone had to work all night and get very little sleep.” The following day, an additional 15,000 flowers arrived, and the first 10,000 were delivered to Pelosi’s office. Rather than overwhelm her office with the second delivery of 15,000 stems, Pelosi’s office asked Daily K... https://www.washingtonian.com/2019/01/10/nancy-pelosi-freedom-roses/
