Richard Rico | Flora, & a perfect fit - Vacaville Reporter
Sunday, February 09, 2020THE 63-year flower cottage next to McCune Garden Chapel on Main St. is in full bloom again. Stems made it happen. After 9 years on Merchant Street, owner Caryn Mikich uprooted Stems Florist to go downtown, taking her flora and her 8 creative makers of bouquets, nosegays and rose sprays with her. The new Stems opened Jan. 21. “I always wanted to be downtown,” Caryn said in her budding shop, “but didn’t want to overcrowd the floral field.” But it’s clear now that this is where she should be. It’s in her DNA. “My family was always into gardening; we didn’t own a shop, but flowers were in our lives.” As fate would have it, Caryn worked six years for former Rose Florist owner, Janet Lopez Balcom, who retired a year ago after 62 years of Lopez ownership. Caryn has a history of decorating lives, events and nonprofits all over the city and county. Floral touches on the Merriment on Main stage were her gift.The cottage was built in 1938 by Del and Elizabeth McCune as their home the same year they bought the funeral home. They moved out in 1956, converting it to a flower shop operated by John and Rose Lopez. Barbara McCune owns the cottage and the funeral home. “I have really good vibes about the move,” Caryn said, a feeling shared by her daughter, Amanda. Does she like the florist world? “I love it!” she said. She’s a mom to Sadie, 11 and Cason, 7. Caryn’s dad, Mike, is in the pipeline industry. A grand opening is in the works, perfect time to meet Caryn, visit Stems, and chat with shop greeter, Gracie, a yellow-headed Amazon parrot. I’d like to check her DNA against Gracie, our golden pup. They might be related.The author is former publisher of The Reporter. https://www.thereporter.com/richard-rico-flora-a-perfect-fit

Ask Jerry: Order flowers, gifts from a local purveyor - Seacoastonline.com
Sunday, February 09, 2020The quality was not great. I dont want that to happen again.Can you advise me in time for Valentines Day?Marc E., Grand Rapids, Mich.Yes. Order your flowers from a local florist. By local, I mean a florist in the town or city where the flowers are being delivered.If you know someone in that area, ask for a florist recommendation. Otherwise, search the Internet for local florist names and read the reviews. Since reviews are not always authentic, you can also check online for public libraries in your flower recipients neighborhood. Then, call the librarian for florists listed in that area. And ask the librarian off the record whether he or she has any personal florist suggestions. It is off the record because librarians normally give information they can document with a published source. It is not within their routine purview to give personal opinions. That need not stop you from asking off the record.Once you identify a promising local florist, call and speak with the owner, the manager, or a conscientious-sounding employee. Request the name of that individual and address the person by name. Be specific about what you want to purchase, the importance of freshness, how the card should read, the delivery time, and any other relevant particulars. Make it clear you are a potentially future customer.When ordering flowers or anything perishable (i.e., candy, fruit, etc.), it is best to communicate with that personal touch. A gift recipient is often reluctant to inform you when your gift arrived in less-than-perfect condition. Accordingly, you want to feel confident. You want it handled properly. Though this process ... https://www.seacoastonline.com/news/20200209/ask-jerry-order-flowers-gifts-from-local-purveyor
