No time to stop and smell the roses: Dream leads local florist to Rose Parade - Steamboat Pilot & Today

We got to go behind the scenes and meet all the main designers and went to the parade.”But even before that, Bostrom, who owned Alpine Floral & Atrium until she closed the business in 2012, dreamed of being a part of the New Year’s celebration. Last April, she learned she had been selected to work with Fiesta Parade Floats, one of the companies that build the nearly 30 floats in the parade. When she got the news, one of her first calls was to her former boss Roy Borodkin, who opened Alpine Floral in its first location at the Harbor Hotel in 1974.“I called him and said I’m working on the floats in the Rose Bowl Parade this year,” Bostrom said. “He said, ‘Finally.'”Bostrom hitchhiked from Boulder to Steamboat in 1975 and arrived with $78 in her pocket and no job. But by the end of her first day in town, she had lined up jobs as a lifeguard at the swimming pool, waiting tables at El Rancho and working at Alpine Floral.Her job at Alpine Floral proved to be a perfect fit for the girl who graduated with degrees in ornamental horticulture and business from Alfred State College.In college, Bostrom was required to gain experience running an actual store, so when she arrived in Steamboat, she already had experience ordering flowers, scheduling, designing and budgeting. She helped the store grow and, eventually, bought the business in April 1980 with partner Jackie Eatherton. In 1984, Bostrom and her husband, Daryl, become sole owners of the store.Susanne Bostrom takes a moment away from working on floats for the 2020 Rose Parade to take a photograph with fellow crew members. The floats Bostrom worked on will appear in the parade, which takes place on New Year’s Day in Pasadena, California.Photo courtesy of Susanne BostromBostrom said the biggest reward... https://www.steamboatpilot.com/news/no-time-to-stop-and-smell-the-roses-dream-leads-local-florist-to-rose-parade/

Put names on the faces of the state's flowers

You'll appreciate Montana flowers more if you know their names, from the dainty flax along River's Edge Trail to the elusive fairy slippers of the forest to the dramatic bear grass of alpine meadows. A new guide can help you on your way to becoming a wildflower expert, or at least satisfy your curiosity about the fetching flowers you encounter. "Wondering about Wildflowers," a new book by Sharon Huff, Stephen Love and Sharron Akers features over 490 different plants and over 1,400 color photographs from the Northern Rocky Mountains. The flowers are sorted by color, with pages trimmed in the blossom color. The guide has at least one photo but often several photos of a given flower, with a description, common and scientific name, a timeline on when it blooms and what kind of landscape one would find the flower. Take prairie smoke, or old man's whiskers, or geum triflorum. A member of the rose family, it has hairy, feathery leaves, nodding bell-shaped pink to rose-maroon flowers with five petals on long stalks. It's found in meadows, in forests and on sagebrush plains. https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/outdoors/2018/07/17/put-names-faces-montana-flowers-new-guidebook-wondering-wildflowers-stephen-love-sharon-huff-akers/792122002/

Coco Shop Designer Taylor Simmons Wore Floral Oscar de la Renta for Her Outdoor Ceremony Overlooking the Ocean - Vogue

It was a sophisticated detail that made it feel even more like we were inviting everyone into our home,” Taylor says. Jameson’s father, who was unable to fly to the wedding from California, grows grapes and makes wine in Mendocino County, California. He provided wine with personalized labels commemorating the original November date. “I love that Jameson had a little bit of home with him in Massachusetts that day through the wine,” Taylor says. At 1:30 p.m., guests were invited to sit for lunch, which took place steps away under a tent on the home’s grass terrace. The terrace perfectly fit two tables and allowed for seating at a distance. “I made the table cloths and napkins out of Coco Shop fabric, and Laura, the... https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/taylor-simmons-jameson-mcfadden-cape-cod-wedding
