Love in Bloom | Valentine's Day coming up roses for local florists - Texarkana Gazette

Photo by Kelsi Brinkmeyer/Texarkana Gazette.At Persnickety Too, located at 3412 Richmond Road, owner Carrie Atkinson says their most popular seller is WOW dozen roses with premium stems like lilies and hydrangeas interspersed to make a stunning combination."We are also quite fond of adding curly willow, which is a curly stick that adds to that wow factor," Atkinson said.For Valentine's Day, roses top the list, she said."I would say what we do the most of is, of course, roses and then designer's choice. They say, 'make it and I'll come get it.' That's what we are known for," Atkinson said. "We also do a lot of walks ins and day of's."Persnickety Too is teaming up with a local catering shop this year to offer a dozen cake balls or a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. There are also add-on items including greeting cards, plush animals, bath items and gift sets.The shop's staff is delivering flowers all week long, but Atkinson believes most ladies will want their deliveries on Friday because they want other ladies to see it.She said tradition holds that if Valentine's falls on a weekend, things are not as busy. However, she says with the pandemic, many people are staying in town and she is not expecting a decrease in business.Persnickety Too will be open Sunday as well, with Atkinson predicting a lot of walk-in customers this weekend.However, she says ordering earlier is always better."This is our marathon. We were made for this," Atkinson said of the Valentine's Day demand.The Village Floral & Gifts, located at 997 N. Kings Highway, also plans to be open on Sunday for the last-minute shoppers, but owner Peggy Speer advises the earlier one shops, the better the selection.Speer said all florists had to make their orders weeks ahead of Valentine's Day and while red roses are the classic choice for Valentine's Day, she also ordered captivating colors like cherry brandy (sunset colors) and quick sand roses (sandy cream-colored roses with berry or pink accents) as well as orange, mauve and purple roses.Women usually prepare better for Valentine's Day when it comes to gift giving, and The Village offers several choices for him."We have more masculine things that guys might think are funny. We have candy in a camouflage box and Razorback crunch candy as well as coffee mugs and coffees," Speer said."We are always trying to think outside of the box here and do things no one has ever done. We like to do the different out here," she said.They also have items for teenagers like chocolate-covered potato chips, graham crackers or Rice Krispies treats."We have some things called chocolate covered cherry bombs and they are tart, bing cherries covered in chocolate in a red coating and look like a cinnamon jawbreaker," Speer said.Cherry blossoms, which are like turtle chocolate-covered caramel with t... https://www.texarkanagazette.com/news/texarkana/story/2021/feb/10/love-bloom-valentines-day-coming-roses-local-florists/859541/

Portland Florists Rescue Their Spring Blooms For Public Installations During Pandemic - OPB News

Fellow florist Cassidy Reinholdt, owner of Noble Floral Co., thought it would be a great way to help one of her favorite local restaurants on Portland’s N. Mississippi Ave. She teamed up with Amy Atkinson-Barnes from Briar and Ivy, another floral shop.“She and I both designed an installation on a light pole and on a little concrete bench area right in front of the Mee-Sen Thai Eatery. I really wanted to help them gain some business with the foot traffic of people coming to see the installation,” Reinholdt said.“We did from the ground up and up a beautiful light pole with whites and purples and anywhere from roses to snapdragons to larkspur to leucadendron, everything.”New social distancing guidelines mean most people should be staying home. But for Alyssa, Jocelyn, Cassidy, and many other florists, what mattered was that people got to have just moments of happiness on otherwise dreary days.“Everyone in Portland has been greatly affected by this and it’s not going unnoticed and we care about people and people being happy and just taking a little time to just relax and enjoy the flowers,” Jocelyn said.Correction (April 1, 2020, 12:06 p.m. PT): This article has been updated to identify Alyssa Lytle as the event’s coordinator. https://www.opb.org/news/article/potland-flower-installations-sping-pandemic/
