For The Heart: Brookfield Florist Features Perfect Rose For Valentine's Day - Brookfield Daily Voice
Tuesday, February 28, 2017Valentine’s Day is the heart rose. “It’s a German-cut rose that is a darker red color than the traditional rose,” said Foley, a Danbury resident. “It’s also called a cabbage rose because the petals flare out. “It’s breathtaking because inside the rose, the petals actually form into the shape of a heart." Aside from roses, which are always the most popular flower for Valentine’s Day, a second favorite are tulips. “I think people like the tulip because it’s a spring flower so it gets people in the mood for spring,” said Amelia Soderquist of Newtown, who owns the business. “They're a breed of their own,” she said, coming in many different colors such as pink, purple, yellow and white. If properly cared for, roses can last up to a week-and-a-half, while tulips should last five days. When caring for flowers, “be sure to give them fresh water every day. The water should be cold and filled to the rim of the vase. ... If you don’t replenish the water, the stems will die faster," Soderquist said. The three-person shop arranges all of its bouquets on the premises, by hand. Although Valentine's Day is still two weeks away, the flower shop is already beginning to get orders. “Last year, we made 125 arrangements for Valentine’s Day. We had a line out the door the entire week of Valentine’s Day,” Soderquist recalled.

Mill Pond Garden recommends hydrangeas for Cape Region - CapeGazette.com
Sunday, July 05, 2020There are many common names including lacecap, mophead, oakleaf, French, florist and smooth. There are 26 different species of hydrangea, some of them hybrids, and scores of cultivars of the most popular species. Mill Pond Garden recommends all hydrangeas be planted in well-drained soil with several shovels of quality compost dug in. The best is horse manure from a local stable.The most common type, hydrangea macrophylla, likes morning sun and some afternoon shade. To make their flowers bluer, add six shovels of peat moss and a cup of aluminum sulfate to acidify the backfill soil at time of planting. To make flowers pinker, add three to four cups of garden lime to make the soil more alkaline.All the other kinds of hydrangea like as much sun as they can get, at least seven hours to flower well. The truth is they tolerate shade rather than prosper. Many of the old-fashioned florist type hydrangeas are not good choices for the Cape Region – they flop open, get black leaf spots, dislike the heat and sun, or have their flower buds killed in hard winters. Mill Pond Garden’s recommendation is to keep it simple and go with the proven best choices by specific names.For named cultivars available in local nurseries, Mill Pond Garden recommends the following.Hydrangea macrophylla, for part shade, with varieties in lacecap (flat flowers), or mop (round flowers). The best cultivar choice is Endless Summer, a repeat bloomer mop head, available in blue or pink flowering cultivars, and Twist-n-Shout, a lacecap type. Other good mop heads are the dwarf City Line hydrangeas series in bright colors, and slightly smaller shrubs, bred in Germany.Hydrangeas are best not pruned until new growth is well out in spring; then only dead canes need to be removed. People often think they should cut them to ground in winter, but in spring they get lots of new canes but only leaves, no flowers. Macrophylla hydrangeas bloom on buds set in the previous year. Cutting off the canes removes all the flowering for the current year unless it is a repeat bloomer, and even then fewer flowers bloom very late in season.Hydrangea arborescens, Incrediball, likes full to part sun, has huge round white flowers totally covering the shrub, grows to six feet, is super hardy with flower buds surviving the worst area winters, and attracts butterflies and other pollinators. This hydrangea is native to North America. All of the arborescens type need a steel stake set close to the middle of the shrub to secure ends of a sturdy string looping out to support the canes, to keep them from flopping open, an ugly look. This is the only flopping hydrangea that is worth the effort of staking, and well worth it, for its spectacular bloom. Another beauty of the Incrediball is its very white canes in winter, which shine with the sun upon the... https://www.capegazette.com/article/mill-pond-garden-recommends-hydrangeas-cape-region/203567
Boynton Beach flower shop donating arrangements to nursing homes and hospitals - WPTV.com
Sunday, July 05, 2020BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — A Boynton Beach flower shop is donating flower arrangements to nursing homes and hospitals.Lasting Impressions Florist has closed due to COVID-19, but the store wanted to share some happiness with others who might be alone or need some cheering up.Owner Megan Kelly said they didn’t want to just throw their flowers away. “Everyone is kind of alone, and we are looking at all of our product and we are going to have to throw all of this out because we don’t have the customers,” said Kelly. The shop donated to two nursing homes on Thursday.Barrington Terrace said the flowers looked beautiful in their library for everyone to enjoy. Kelly said both places were excited when they dropped off the donations. The shop would like to donate more flowers to nursing homes or people who are in the hospital. The shop can be contacted at 561-708-1745.Earlier this month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis banned nursing homes from accepting visitors for 30 days except when a patient is near death in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. https://www.wptv.com/news/region-s-palm-beach-county/boynton-beach/boynton-beach-flower-shop-donating-arrangements-to-nursing-homes-and-hospitals
Alaska Rally Supports Gay Couple Denied Service by Florist - SouthFloridaGayNews.com
Sunday, July 05, 2020Photo courtesy Tacoma Kathryn Coronel, shared to Ketchikan Pride Alliance’s Facebook) (WM) Residents rallied in a small Alaska city to support LGBT rights after a florist declined to sell flowers for a same-sex wedding. Tommy Varela said Heavenly Creations in Ketchikan told his mother the business would not provide flowers for his wedding ceremony after learning there were two grooms, The Juneau Empire reported.Between 100 and 200 people attended the June 5 demonstration, lining the street and holding signs expressing support for the LGBT community.Kathleen Varela said she phoned the same florist her son used to get a boutonniere for his prom when she was seeking flowers for the nuptials in August.“I said, ‘It’s a wedding for two grooms, are you comfortable with that?’ And there was a long and awkward silence and then ‘No, I’m not comfortable with that,'” Kathleen Varela said.There was no exchange of names and she is not sure who was on the phone, but the florist has not previously expressed antipathy toward the LGBT community, Kathleen Varela said.“I guess I just wasn’t prepared for the ‘no,’ especially since we’ve done business,” she said.Heavenly Creations did not return messages from the June... https://southfloridagaynews.com/National/alaska-rally-supports-gay-couple-denied-service-by-florist.html
