La Cañada Flintridge, Burbank take home awards at Rose Parade - Los Angeles Times

A year’s worth of work and dedication by hundreds of volunteers was recognized with awards during the 2020 Rose Parade on New Year’s Day. All six of the self-built floats — from La Cañada Flintridge, Burbank, South Pasadena, Cal Poly Universities, Downey and Sierra Madre — earned awards in the 131st Rose Parade, a feat that is rarely achieved during the annual event. The La Cañada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Assn.‘s float, called “Dodo Bird Flight School,” brought home the Bob Hope Humor Award, a distinction the organization has won four times in the past five years.“One of the purposes of our float association is to be humorous, so it’s particularly rewarding to get the Bob Hope Humor banner,” said Charles Thuss, a board member of the La Cañada organization. Advertisement The float depicted a flock of flightless birds trying to take flight with the help of a zeppelin, all backed with a loop of Lenny Kravitz’s hit song “Fly Away.”Leading the main float was an electric-powered satellite unit — a first for the La Cañada group — that was also adorned with flowers and included a figure of an ostrich riding a device reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s helicopter.As the main entr... https://www.latimes.com/socal/burbank-leader/news/story/2020-01-01/la-canada-flintridge-burbank-take-home-awards-at-rose-parade

For Valentine’s Day, these flowers are getting a rock ‘n’ roll inspired twist - OCRegister

Ace of Vase, the Burbank shop florist Sheri Scott opened in 2015, gets its name from a Motörhead song.Scott’s flowers may be lovelier than the heavy metal classic “Ace of Spades,” but it’s a fitting reference: Her arrangements are powerful, cutting edge and – sometimes – come in vases covered with spikes.Even so, Scott says people often assume she named the store after the far less hardcore Swedish pop group Ace of Base, who had a string of hits in the 1990s and, coincidentally, have an album titled “Flowers.”“Honestly, if that’s what draws them to me, I’m not going to correct them,” Scott says on a recent afternoon inside the store. “It’s whatever their interpretation is. It’s still music-related.”Sheri Scott’s Burbank florist shop Ace of Vase offers a variety of arrangements, including this one called “I Put a Spell on You.”Photo: Sheri ScottSheri Scott’s Burbank florist shop A... http://www.ocregister.com/for-valentines-day-these-flowers-are-getting-a-rock-n-roll-inspired-twist

Gardening: Pink powder puffs are not always that particular color - San Bernardino County Sun

Baja fairy duster is renowned for its seemingly endless flower production. Only for brief periods will you not find at least one or two blooms on display.Grace Hampton, who gardens in Burbank, wrote to inquire about the sabra prickly pear cactus that grows in Israel and throughout the Mediterranean, wondering how it got there since it is native to Mexico. This cactus arrived in the Mediterranean courtesy of Spanish explorers who brought back samples from their Mesoamerican expeditions.Although both the fruit and the pads of this cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) are edible, the Spanish had a different application in mind. Their interest was in the red pigment that was found in the gut of white cochineal scale insects that attach themselves to prickly pear cactus pads.If you have any of this cactus in your yard, you have probably noticed the presence of these sticky insects at one time or another.From the time the Spanish arrived in Mexico in the 16th century, until the advent of synthetic dyes in the late 19th century, cochineal scales were the main source of red textile dye in America and Europe.Spain had a monopoly on the cochineal dye market for about 250 years until scale-laden cactus pads were surreptitiously exported — by the French and Portuguese — to the Caribbean, the Canary Islands and Portugal.Sessile female scales attach themselves to prickly pear cactus pads, stick their proboscises into the pads, and suck cactus sap for sustenance. In the process, they produce a rich scarlet pigment known as carminic acid. This metabolite is stored in the gut of the female scales, to be used in defending themselves from attacking ants.Scale eggs are especially rich in carminic acid and the indigenous peoples who still produce traditional cochineal dye are astute in collecting the pregnant scales for maximum dye production.Prior to the export of cochineal dye from Mexico to Europe, the main source of European red dye was the kermes scale, which had been utilized as a textile dye since biblical times. In the book of Exodus, the materials utilized in construction and furnishing of the desert Tabernacle included tola’at shani, literally translated as “scarlet worm,” since it was thought that the dye used in coloring the Tabernacle tapestries and other fabrics was derived from a worm.Recent investigations of this subject by Israeli researchers proved that the scarlet worm was in fact a scale insect that feeds on the Mediterranean kermes oak (Quercus coccifera).However, the scarlet dye produced by the Mexican cactus scale was eight times brighter than that produced by the Mediterranean oak tree scale, and so all red dye used in Europe was soon manufactured from the cactus scale.A number of years ago, Nick Kurek from Granada Hills sent me simple instructions for readying prickly pear fruit (tunas) and pads (nopales) for eating.“The flesh of cactus pears,” he wrote, “is sweet and flavorful but full of seeds. Needles come off the fruit by rolling them in the dirt, a...

I already have a handful of loyal customers who have been coming in a few times a week since the beginning, and I can’t wait to gain more over time.”Born in Syracuse, Rae moved to southern California with her mother at the age of four, returning to CNY each year to visit family and friends.The florist discovered her interest in design at the age of 20 while working at a beachside hotel in California.“We would receive a beautiful floral arrangement for the lobby weekly, and something just clicked in me that designing was something I wanted to pursue,” she said. “From there I traveled to LA and San Francisco, taking course after course on designing and also working in shops and design studios.

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
