However, don’t hold your baby’s breath that Pua Hana, a 200-square-foot bungalow, will carry any potted plants or succulents. “We wanted this space to be a neighborhood shop with affordable lei and bouquets made of local and Mainland flowers,” says Monahan. You’ll find fragrant strands crafted from community lei makers hangin’ around, while loose stems of anthuriums, orchids, roses, carnations and lilies can be bundled together by customers to create bouquets that Monahan hopes “will make anyone happy.” 3434 Wai‘alae Ave., (808) 739-5617, puahanahawaii.com.

‘Master florist’ Haruko Adkins, 90, had a passion for flower arrangements and tennis - The Washington Post
Monday, August 24, 2020Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., Morhart said, the trip was a “thrill for her.” Born in Nagoya, Japan, Adkins studied the art of floral arrangement and earned a four-year degree as a “master florist,” her friends said. She married Earl A. Adkins, a criminal investigator in the U.S. Army Military Police Corps. With his work, the couple traveled and lived in several places, including San Francisco and Germany, before settling in Arlington. He died in 1999.Adkins had a large group of friends and was known for helping others. If someone else wanted flowers she planned to use in an arrangement, she would happily give them away, Morhart said.“She was very, very generous,” Morhart said. “She was always willing to say: ‘Help yourself. Take that if you need it.’ She had a very sharing nature.”Adkins also did volunteer projects, including making sweaters and bags to carry food for those in need. She was once named Volunteer of the Year at Goodwin House.Valerie Burke, the chief philanthropy officer at Goodwin House, said Adkins also enjoyed working at a thrift shop on the property as a volunteer and was good at making displays.“She loved getting to know people and helping them find just the right trinket,” Burke said. In the dining room at Goodwin House, Burke said, Adkins would help if she noticed others weren’t eating enough or needed a hand.“She’d say, ‘You’re losing too much weight,’?” Burke said. “Then she’d go over and help them eat. She was a real connector.”In early May, Adkins came down to meet her weekly flower-arranging group but said she couldn’t stay because she didn’t feel well. A few days later she went to the hospital and tested positive for the coronavirus, according to friends. She died 12 days later. “We were all very, very sad,” Morhart said. “She was so easy to work with, so talented and just fun to be around.”Read more:... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/haruko-adkins-coronavirus/2020/08/18/58bc3c7a-e13e-11ea-b69b-64f7b0477ed4_story.html

Monday, August 24, 2020Oxford Flower and Gift Shop. The Chinese Information Association raised money to buy the masks by selling bouquets of Valentine’s Day roses and gypsophila. The Roses, ordered through a local florist, were awaiting delivery late Thursday. Photo by Ziyi Ma.?“It is an activity to let girls know that they were beautiful and had the intention of making them more confident,” said Weimiao Sun, the vice president of the society.For the Rose Challenge event, the CIA decided to buy 50 red roses, 30 carnations and two bunches of gypsophila.As of Thursday, China has more than 59,000 confirmed cases and 1,368 deaths from the virus. To curb the spread of the virus, the Chinese government has been strongly suggesting, and in some cases making it mandatory for citizens to wear masks when they are outdoors.According to the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, disposable medical masks are for self-protection. Citizens could wear them when they are in public and in densely populated places. Particle protective masks and medical protective masks like N95 are for medical staff providing emergency services, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The airborne virus can be spread through tiny droplets of moisture released when an infected person coughs or sneezes. There has been a surge in the demand for N95 masks since the coronavirus outbreak. It is widely believed the N95 masks can be effective in preventing infection. It can filter at least 95% of airborne particles. The National Health Commission in China said the discrepancy between the demand and supply of medical needs is still very prominent, especially in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, in Hubei Province. Xiaogan is a city of more than 4 million people, located in the northeast of Hubei Province. It is near Wuhan, where the outbreak is believed to have started. As of Thursday, 2,874 confirmed cases with 49 deaths had been reported in Xiaogan. After the Rose Challenge, the Miami Chinese Information Association will send out masks near Feb. 16. It is estimated it will take about five to seven days for them to reach XiaoGan First People’s Hospital, Ma said. “The reason we chose the XiaoGan First People’s Hospital is because it is a place with a severe epidemic in Wuhan, which is in urgent need of medical supplies, and (a friend of local association members) once donated a batch of masks to that hospital, and then knew the hospital’s responsible person, which can ensure our transportation transparency and safety,” Ma said.According to Chinese medical professionals, the surgical masks and protective masks are disposable items and cannot be reused. Groups in other countries also have been donating medical supplies to help in the emergency.?... https://oxfordobserver.org/1168/miami/local-rose-challenge-provides-medical-masks-for-china/
