Shopping for holiday decor at the L.A. flower mart - Los Angeles Times

And don’t expect fake trees or snow flocking on branches at any of their events for Malibu plant-based skin care brand Osea or swanky fashion and jewelry boutique Capitol + Irene Neuwirth in Brentwood or in their arrangements at the Tasting Kitchen in Venice.Instead, they’re known for a rustic sensibility that can be seen in their custom gift boxes and hundreds of premade bouquets they sell at all Erewhon stores. Their inspiration this holiday is “Winter Forest.” So look for eucalyptus pods, winterberries, magnolia leaves, lichen-covered branches, blue ice cypress and hemlock to remind you that decorating with nature really is about what grows outside. “The whole point is to bring wilderness into your home,” says Juhos. “We believe in more of a winter vibe for the holidays.” And they’re certain the rest of us can pull this off too. Or at least try. Holiday orchids at the Los Angeles Flower Market.(Al Seib / Los Angeles Times) We got up early and went wild retail harvesting with the pair at the Southern California Flower Market and Original Los Angeles Flower Market to see exactly how Juhos and Renna envision a winter forest, without going near a single silver spray-painted branch.

A Perfumer’s Fragrant Flower Salad - The New York Times

The florist business his parents ran — the Woods, which catered to celebrities and the Four Seasons Hotel — was across the street from Mezzaluna, the Brentwood trattoria that vaulted to notoriety during the O. J. Simpson trial. The family had an account at the restaurant, so it became the place where young Ezra developed his palate. Now 35 and the co-founder of the boutique fragrance brand Régime des Fleurs, Woods has found two new ways to combine his obsessions: He makes edible scents and he cooks with edible flowers. “I love nothing more than flowers,” he says. “There’s something magical about being able to eat something so beautiful.”[Coming soon: the T List newsletter, a weekly roundup of what T Magazine editors are noticing and coveting. Sign up here.]ImageFlowers inspire everything about Régime des Fleurs, from its name to its scents, and Woods isn’t picky about which ones he puts in his salad. While the flavor is generally mild, the visual impact is anything but.CreditJulia StotzTo be clear, most of his fragrances — ones that conjure up palo santo and musk — are not meant to be digested. But his latest scent, Citri, a “citrus mélange,” available starting June 5, is the brand’s second edible product and a companion to the Los Angeles chef Lori Stern’s new cookbook of the same name. “You spray it on food or drink as a kind of finisher,” Woods says. “It’s very aromatic, o... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/05/t-magazine/ezra-woods-flower-salad.html

Madonna-Loved Flower Shop OnlyRoses Will Open Its First US Boutique in Beverly Hills - Hollywood Reporter

Husband-and-wife owners Anian and Sabine Schmitt, who debuted OnlyRoses in London’s tony Knightsbridge neighborhood on the block adjacent to Harrods in 2007, relocated last month from Dubai to Brentwood to launch their first U.S. boutique at  9631 Brighton Way in Beverly Hills later this month, they told THR exclusively. The company also has a warehouse on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood. In the last decade, the Schmitts have expanded with five franchise locations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh and Kuwait City; six additional Middle Eastern franchise stores are in the works. The Beverly Hills boutique will be the second non-franchise OnlyRoses store in the world."We set out to specialize in the world’s finest roses and to do something beautiful and different," said Sabine Schmitt, who sat down with THR at Tavern restaurant in Brentwood last week to talk shop and show sketches of the minimalist boutique designed by Italian architect Roberto Baciocchi’s firm Baciocchi Associatit, which has fashioned stores for La Perla, Prada and Miu Miu. "We consider OnlyRoses to be more of a luxury gifting brand than a florist. Our store concept is more like walking into a Prada or Cartier boutique."The secret behind the company's long-lasting roses? The flowers are sourced from three to four farms in the Andes mountains near Quito, Ecuador, where there is rich, volcanic soil and the elevation and proximity to the equator form a consistent climate year-round that's ideal to grow roses. And then they are shipped directly to stores."Our roses are in stores at the latest three days after they are cut, whereas if you buy from a wholesaler, the time is usually 10 days or even two weeks, so that’s why we can safely say they last longer," said Schmitt. "One variety is about my height, over five feet tall!"In addition to the fresh-cut ClassicRoses, the brand offers fresh-looking, naturally preserved InfiniteRoses that can last "several months, up to a year without water," said Schmitt, through a process in which "the water is taken out of the rose and the moisture is replaced with oil that can be any color, so we even have fluorescent green and Tiffany blue roses." While the process is not new, the upscale presentation i... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/onlyroses-madonnas-favorite-flower-shop-open-beverly-hills-1026069

Column: Farmers Open fixture: San Diego Police officer Ganley bounces from flowers to fugitives to fairways - The San Diego Union-Tribune

Torrey Pines was hiring a golf starter. She had been wowed by Long Island’s Shinnecock Hills, ranked as the best U.S. Open track in history by Golfweek in 2018. Advertisement The Southern California gem hugging the Pacific Ocean coastline stole her breath, though. Still does.“I fell in love with this place,” said Ganley, 57.Along the way, a friend who worked in the police department arranged a ride-along. One thing led to another and, in 1998, she entered the police academy.Ganley shifted to the department’s Special Events Unit and a rare road presented itself. After providing security for a Rolling Stones concert at the Sports Arena, fans long gone and the house lights up, grizzled guitarist Richards sauntered out and parked near Ganley and an EMS worker.“Keith comes out and he’s watching the roadies,” she said. “He’s like, ‘I love watching the roadies. They’re the coolest.’ When they were playing, Sheryl Crow opened for them. So I’m standing stage-right and she’s standing right next to me. I’m like, Mick Jagger is right in front of me and Sheryl Crow is right next to me.“I’m a huge Stones fan, so I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ ” San Diego police officer Debbie Ganley, left, handles security for Phil Mickelson during the Farmers Insurance Open. Ganley has been the officer in charge since 2002.(Courtesy photo) Memories at Torrey Pines, though, linger most. She was there for seven of Tiger’s eight wins. She was there in 2004, when Daly picked up the last of his five PGA Tour victories. She was there in 2016, when wicked winds uprooted trees and forced a fan-less final round as Brandt Snedeker lifted the trophy in surreal silence.

She talks about the parents of player Pat Perez on a first-name basis, with a warmth reserved for family.A smile rushed across Ganley’s face as she drifted back to 2008, when a Golf Digest essay contest tied to the U.S. Open selected a random player to play with NFL quarterback Tony Romo, entertainer Justin Timberlake and TV host Matt Lauer.“The USGA said to me, only people with passes are allowed inside the ropes,” said Ganley, who will retire from the department in September. “I’m looking at passes, ‘You need to be outside the ropes,’ ‘You need to be outside the ropes,’ ‘You need to be outside the ropes.’ I wasn’t looking at faces.“I looked up at one point and I was kicking out (Hall of Famer and Masters winner) Freddy Couples. I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, Freddy.’ He laughs and I said, ‘You can stay.’ The rest of the round, he kept asking, ‘Am I OK?’ He is one of the nicest people ever.” San Diego police officer Debbie Ganley, the officer in charge at the Farmers Insurance Open since 2002, was given the tournament’s inaugural Hometown Hero Award.(Bryce Mille... https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/sports-columnists/story/2020-01-17/farmers-insurance-open-golf-san-diego-police-office-deborah-ganley-tiger-woods-phil-mickelson-john-daly

Look outside and you will be amazed at how much is there.” Advertisement How can we break away from that traditional holiday look?Juhos: “It’s psychological; you don’t have to do what your parents did. If your family had a fake tree, it doesn’t mean you have to. Start your own tradition. Trust what you like. People have collections of heirlooms from their families, incorporate those but still make it new.” Nicole Renna gathers her selection at O&J Growers in the early morning hours at the Los Angeles Flower Market.(Al Seib/Los Angeles Times) What’s the biggest mistake people make in their holiday decor? Renna: “They don’t take enough risks. People think there are rules — red balls, gold balls — but there are no rules. That’s the beauty of design: Make your own rules. If you want to have a pink Christmas, do a pink Christmas.”What are you looking for when you go to the flower market?Juhos: “Special things. Unique. Ideally long-lasting; we don’t want to be selling stuff that’s going to die in a day. We look for the freshest product possible, like a chef going straight to a farm.” Nicole Renna with protea at the Los Angeles Flower Market.(Al Seib / Los Angeles Times) Advertisement Do you like poinsettias?Renna: “We like them. But people assume that means the red ones with the foil you buy at the supermarket. That’s not the kind we’re talking about.

Gardening: Succulents not only save water and money, but offer other benefits - OCRegister

Santa Barbara growing grounds.The proliferation of succulents among the nursery’s selections may be attributed to a number of factors, but the long periods of drought in California over the past four decades is foremost among them. During this time, many municipalities have resorted to water rationing that makes the planting of lawns, for example, which need almost daily irrigation during the summer to stay lush, problematic. When lawns are removed, succulents — many of which are quite parsimonious when it comes to water consumption — are often called upon to fill the void.There are other reasons which explain why succulents have become the preference of many. Their slow growth means maintenance is less intense than in a garden of more traditional plant fare. Thus, a weekly gardening service is no longer required and the gardener’s monthly service fee is saved. Since there is no mowing and less pruning in a succulent than in a traditionally leafy garden, disposal of green matter is also less of a concern.For years, it was assumed that in order to have a garden of constant color, you needed to plant vivid annual flowers in every season. This was a somewhat costly proposition, however, especially when compared to a garden of evergreen and colorful succulents, where red, blue, yellow, green, pink, and gold are on display 365 days a year.Beyond savings in water, labor, money, and green waste, there is a bonus in store for those who wish to transition to succulents.
