An illustrated guide to Los Angeles trees and flowers
Tuesday, August 28, 2018Canary Island date palmViewed as more upscale than common fan palms, Canary Islands became the palm of choice along the boulevards of Beverly Hills, Hancock Park, and other affluent neighborhoods in the 1920s and ’30s. Also known as “pineapple palms,” they are distinguished by the diamond-shape pattern on their trunks, caused by the scars of past leaves, and their bright orange-yellow flowers.3. California fan palmShorter and stockier than Mexican fan palms, California fan palms are also known as “petticoat palms” on account of the shaggy skirts of dead fronds that encircle their trunks. Thanks to this feature, these palms are quite popular with roof rats.4. Orange treesOranges arrived in Southern California with Spanish missionaries, who planted one of the first groves in the region at Mission San Gabriel in 1804. But it wasn’t until the 1870s that the citrus industry really took off, thanks to the introduction of a seedless variety of orange from Brazil, which later became known as the Washington navel. The advent of refrigerated shipping a decade later really kicked things into high gear, and in short order, vast swaths of what is now Pasadena, the San Fernando Valley, and, of course, Orange County were blanketed by orange groves. Most of the groves got squeezed out by the post-WWII population boom and suburban sprawl, but orange, lime, and lemon trees can still be found in countless yards all over the city. And for those folks who don’t have a yard, or whose yards are without fruit trees, there’s the Endless Orchard, which maps the location of publicly accessible fruit-bearing trees in your neighborhood.5.

Walmart Slashed Its Orders. His Equipment Melted Down. This Guy Made It Work Anyway
Tuesday, July 31, 2018I partnered with online florists? I sent three floral arrangements with decorative fillers in them to Lynda Resnick, the owner of Teleflora--to her office, to her home in Aspen, to her home in Beverly Hills. I got a meeting with Teleflora's president and V.P. of marketing. My pitch: They could include my fillers in their vases, and charge extra for them."The president says "OK, Adam, I've got it--if we partner with you, we'll sell more of everything. Great! But you need to understand: My customer is the florist. And they don't like your product. It's hard for them to make your rocks look nice like they do in the picture. Second, when you put rocks in a vase like that, you're displacing the water. And without water, everything dies."I had felt in my gut that this was the most important meeting in my life. I went away from it feeling, well, that was a B-minus! I spent the next week thinking: What is the solution? Then, very quickly on a piece of paper I drew this thing, a vase that was double-walled, with an opening at the bottom.It sparked my imagination. At the end of the day, decorative fillers are a commodity. This was a chance to create something new--a double-walled vase that could house both fillers and flowers.Manifesting this idea turned out to be really, really tough. The first result was really clunky. It was going to take a lot of trial and error, a lot of R&D, to make it elegant.I cobbled together almost $1 million in capital. I sold my condo, my 401(k), and any insurance I had, to cover my existing debts. I sold Akasha to my direct competitor for a song--for half the value of our contracts. That certainly hadn't been my original vision--to get down on my knees, to give back the key. But I wasn't alone. Four investors from Akasha came over--loyal friends who knew me. My longtime manager in China, Apollo Li, helped me vet glassblowers and factories.We wanted a seamless design, not two ugly pieces of glass glued together. We figured something called the pocket technique: You blow the outside form, and while it's curing you drop another ball of molten glass on the top. But if there's too much temperature variation, the thing will explode. We tried underwater techniques, and even lasers! You can laser-cut through glass, but now you're talking about a $50,000 to $100,000 machine. Finally, we designed it so that it had a neck with an opening on it, that we could cut off.A good friend of mine suggested I sell to QVC--you co... https://www.inc.com/magazine/201808/burt-helm/how-i-did-it-adam-kasha.html

Florist to the stars: Bringing beauty to the Kardashians - CNN
Tuesday, September 26, 2017Los Angeles (CNN) — The first thing you see when you step into the lobby of the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills is what can only be described as floral shock and awe. The entryway is not grand or very large, though its marble floors and dramatic chandelier are lovely. But there is drama upon entry: Flowers, flowers, flowers -- they are everywhere, artfully arranged, fragrant and splendid. You are immediately and quite happily assaulted by skillful arrangements that are structurally stunning and despite efforts to the contrary, pretty much indescribable. Writing about flowers is kind of pointless in this instance, so the focus is on Jeff Leatham, the man whose singular talent, creativity and passion makes this star-studded Los Angeles hotel (along with the Four Seasons George V in Paris) Insta-bait on a global scale. Like most success stories, no one could have predicted Leatham's journey. He is a self-described "flower man extraordinaire" whose story begins like those of fabled young starlets in the early days of Hollywood. Leatham moved to Los Angeles from Utah at 19 to pursue act... http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/jeff-leatham-florist-los-angeles-paris/index.html
Coco Shop Designer Taylor Simmons Wore Floral Oscar de la Renta for Her Outdoor Ceremony Overlooking the Ocean - Vogue
Wednesday, March 31, 2021It 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
