Flowers are a great last-minute gift — but be sure to send the right message - Seattle Times
Saturday, January 18, 2020Daisies are good to send to someone who has a casual, free-spirited style, Amy Merrick says in her new book, “On Flowers: Lessons From an Accidental Florist.” (Tif Hunter) Ashley Greer, owner of Atelier Ashley Flowers in Alexandria, Virginia, said clients tend to get stressed about their flower choices. “Some people are very self-conscious when it comes to flowers and their impressions,” Greer says. “People think that the flowers they use at an event or that they send are a direct reflection on them. And they want to be careful that their arrangement reflects their taste, their style and the occasion.”AdvertisingCondolence flowers may be what people most obsess about. “When you are sending something for a funeral you want to be sensitive,” Greer says. “Sometimes people say they don’t want to send anything that looks fun. They prefer something white and green.”Dowling, whose studio is in Alexandria, says condolence flowers “don’t have to be all white. Having flowers that are soft and comforting and focus on texture is a good way to go. Make them personal, and possibly reflecting a certain flower the person loved. Then they can really evoke the sense of a warm hug.”New York flower designer and illustrator Cathy Graham says her go-to sympathy flowers include a paperwhite plant and a white or blue hydrangea plant that could bloom for a few weeks. “You don’t have to do all white, but I would not use bright, festive colors.”Don’t overlook household pets when you are creating a bouquet or arrangement to send to someone, says Graham. “Lilies and other flowers are bad for cats,” says Graham, who worries about that with her own two ginger cats, Reggie and Cheddar. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals publishes a list of plants that are poisonous to pets. img data-ratio="1.50037" data-caption="Included in this Atelier Ashley Flowers design for a baby shower are ranunculus, which mean radiant charm.

These flowering houseplants add cheer to colder Alaska months - Anchorage Daily News
Saturday, January 18, 2020They also need 13 hours of light, so they will need those supplementals, though you don’t have to give them bright light. Find these at nurseries or ask your supermarket florist to order some. Full bloom pink amaryllis flowers (Getty Images) Amaryllis should be on the list. They are now sold in the fall, and all winter long in fact, so if you are waiting for last year’s to go through dormancy, buy more and pot them up. It usually takes six to eight weeks for flowers to appear. Do not water very much, as they don’t need it and a lack of water may stimulate and speed blooming. Cape primroses are great houseplants here, because they actually like cool temperatures, which is what you probably have near your windows. They come in all manner of colors. Give them indirect sunlight. Again, look for them or ask for some to be ordered. This time of year, both the so-called Thanksgiving cacti and Christmas varieties set buds and start blooming. Shortening days and cooler nights (again, use those windows or find a cool room) trigger blooms. These are great plants to have in the early fall. How do you tell if you have a Thanksgiving or a Christmas cactus? If it is setting buds now, it is a Thanksgiving variety, obviously. The Thanksgiving variety (Schlumgera truncata) is the one with pointed, claw-shaped tips on its leaves. The Christmas cactus (Schlumgera bridgesti) leaf tips are scalloped-shaped. Bromeliad (i_am_jim via Wikimedia Commons) Mums are great houseplants, too. They are sold this time of year because they bloom as a result of shortening days and have become a traditional Thanksgiving plant. In fact, they love to be in total dark for 13 hours or more. That is usually not hard to supply in Alaska in the fall. Once the plants stop blooming, keep them as houseplants and get them to rebloom next fall. Finally, bromeliads are known as Hawaiian plants, but they require low light and do well right here in Alaska. They also don’t need much water. This is an ideal plant to perk up the fall with a bit of color and no work whatsoever. Jeff’s Alaska garden calendar Pruning: If you feel like pruning anything, you can cut out the raspberry canes that produced this year. These are the ones that have the cap that held the berries. They are dead and won’t produce again. https://www.adn.com/alaska-life/gardening/2019/10/31/these-flowering-houseplants-add-cheer-to-colder-alaska-months/
Making Arrangements art exhibit explores the many moods of floral design at Goodyear Arts - CLTure
Saturday, January 18, 2020Film Still by Lora MathisOn January 10, “making arrangements” embodies the florist’s precision of arranging, and is the title of a specially curated art show opening at Goodyear Arts. The show will feature works from regional artists as well as artists from Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Richmond. Curator Rebecca Henderson said of the show and its title, “I wanted to be able to communicate the duality of the work [the show] contains. Yes, there is a bouquet: the colorful beauty, a tantalizing expression and a bold optimism. But there are also those arrangements whose wilting marks the fragility and banality of living– that the days simply pass.” Henderson has made a name for herself in a variety of ways around Charlotte. She co-curated the 2016 show Unibrow with local sculpture artist Grace Stott, continues to co-curate a mobile and accessibility-driven gallery, Wheeling Art Dealing, and just last year started Southern Ladies Arm Wrestling (an inclusive arm wrestling league open to all femme-identifying folks). Henderson is active in the arts community and handpicked each artist based off the content, concept, or context of their work as it pertains to the Making Arrangements curatorial proposal. Art by Corey Pemberton“This is a group exhibition which reflects on the exquisite task of balancing living alongside the tender clutter of having lived. Beyond unifying floral imagery, themes of joyful resistance, common nostalgia and conflicted sentimentality also run ... https://clture.org/making-arrangement-art-exhibit/
