How an Ecuadorian rose makes the journey to your American sweetheart for Valentine's Day - The Denver Post

They come in a rainbow of hues and gaggle of names, many inspired by the flower breeder’s daughter, mother or lover. Some names, such as Hot Nina, Lola and Jessika, call to mind an old flame. Others read like perfume ads tucked in a magazine: Pearl Avalanche, Sweet Unique, Cool Water. And then there are the names that beckon to whom they’re selling: Sweetness, Engagement, Soulmate. Rose breeders trademark these names and can receive royalties from other plantations that grow their variety.Most roses are natives of Ecuador. The year-round sunshine and high-altitude soil in the country’s mild and mountainous north-central provinces breeds big-headed and bright-colored blooms, Weickum said. One of every four roses bought by an American was raised by an Ecuadorian. While Amato curates cut flowers from several countries — including Israel, Thailand, Holland and Costa Rica — most, by far, are from Colombia and Ecuador.America’s love for Ecuador’s flowers bloomed during a favorable trade agreement forged in 1991 between the United States, Ecuador and three other neighboring South American countries. Even after that agreement ended in 2013, the connection burned on: In 2014 the United States imported $186 million worth of flowers from Ecuador, a record high. Ecuador has grown into the third-largest cut flower exporter in the world. (Another top buyer of Ecuadorian flowers is a country unlikely to receive a rose from the U.S. anytime soon: Russia.)Weickum pins the rose’s perennial popularity on its reputation and accessibility.“Roses are a staple, roses are a classic, roses are well-known,” she said. “People who want to express themselves with flowers — they do it with roses.”But for all the rose’s heated reputation and heady symbolism, the cut flower industry behind it is well oiled and labor intensive. Roses are transported from greenhouses and fields to delivery hubs in bunches swaddled by nets. There the blooms bathe in pools of water mixed with concentrated flower food and preservatives, drinking up to stay hydrated through prep and packaging. Workers sort the flowers by the size of the bloom, length of the stem and vibrant color into complementary groups of a dozen to ship out.The journey from South...

Lola Gianelli will soon wave from a open gazebo on a float made of flowers as it passes the Rose Parade crowd.She was chosen to represent the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs on its float Jan. 2 in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.“I think it’s a great honor,” said Gianelli, who turns 85 in February. “I was so surprised, because I will be representing all the Odd Fellows in the world.”Gianelli was the first woman to become an Odd Fellows district deputy grand master, overseeing eight lodges in San Fransisco.“I dealt with a bunch of men,” she said, laughing, “and they learned to respect me.”Gianelli also spent 10 years on a Rebekahs committee working with the California State legislature.She’s still active in the Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs, a women’s branch of the organization.

Make sure your Mothers Day flowers are what you paid for - WSAU News

CDU) party congress in Hamburg, Germany, December 7, 2018. REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network-WSAU) Mother's Day is Sunday. If you're looking to find a flower arrangement for Mom, make sure you're getting what you're paying for.State consumer protection director Michelle Reinen says one option you might have, if your mom lives here in the state, is to get a local florist to put together something with a Wisconsin touch. "If you are asking these questions and really looking, you may be able to get something special that's unique to our state, and give that as your gift as well."Reinen says ask about pricing and if a vase is included, and when possible work with a florist directly in your mom's area, rather than a floral service.Reinen said, "Other questions are what flowers are fresh and season in that specific area. In Wisconsin we're going to have different seasonal flowers right now than somebody in Hawai'i or Florida."= ... https://wsau.com/news/articles/2019/may/06/make-sure-your-mothers-day-flowers-are-what-you-paid-for/

Susan In The Sky with Spring Flowers - Ricochet.com

Madison Wisconsin, Spring 1975She was house sitting, that week, as memory serves. The teacher’s home had an adobe-style wall fencing in a plethora of dogwoods and cherry, plum and almond with an occasional Japanese maple thrown in. There were hydrangeas and rhubarb, the stalks of irises, and some jonquils so newly yellow peeking out from behind some type of vegetation.“I love it here, don’t you?” she asked. We, two young women, sat swinging on the porch couch, sipping our coffee and enjoying our lives. The sky above us yawned so that the silvery grey clouds revealed a slumbering sun. From the way things felt around us, it was hard to know if it would be sunny or rainy, chilly or warm. Being Wisconsin, it could be all of those things, in just ten or twelve hours!“We could bike over to the lumber yard, if you want.” She could tell I was battling simmering emotions. Friends always know these things.“Are you sure Dar hasn’t forgotten?” I asked, feeling nervous. The deal was, today was crib day. W... https://ricochet.com/623926/susan-in-the-sky-with-spring-flowers/
