It was raining and there was a 60 percent chance of more on the wedding day. So the bride's parents, Chris and Paula Frierson, considered changing venues.

Santa Rosa's Grohe Florists closing after a heritage that goes back more than 100 years - Santa Rosa Press Democrat
Sunday, February 09, 2020With roots going back more than 100 years, Santa Rosa’s Grohe Florists will close Wednesday as the owners retire from a business that’s helped generations of local residents spread good cheer, celebrate romance and comfort the sick or grieving.Brent and Loralie Wilson, who bought the store at 1313 McDonald Ave. in 1988, witnessed significant changes over the decades, from the advent of national brokers such as 1-800-Flowers to the influx of grocery stores encroaching heavily into the business. They also managed trends through the years with the ever-popular roses and dahlias and the more waning carnations and chrysanthemums.Still, the couple had a healthy clientele and the business was profitable. It won the Best of Sonoma County award sponsored by The Press Democrat seven out of the past eight years.“There are still loyal customers and they like to go to florists,” said Brent Wilson, 76. “For those who are getting a real customized, on-site attention for centerpieces and that sort of thing ... It’s just a more personal touch.”The couple decided... https://www.pressdemocrat.com/business/10357375-181/santa-rosa-florist-closing-after
Gardening: The days and nights of blooming chrysanthemums - OCRegister
Sunday, February 09, 2020You can plant a florist’s chrysanthemum – the supermarket type – in the garden and it will live for three or four years. However, chrysanthemums are easily propagated from shoot tip cuttings, so you can perpetuate them for an eternity. When you first set eyes on your potted chrysanthemum, the flowers are enormous. Now that it’s planted in the garden, the number of flowers is much greater but they are much smaller, still richly petaled as if they were miniature dahlias.The reason for flower size difference is, once again, manipulation at the nursery. Those giant initial flowers were the result of pinching off most of the flower buds as the plant developed in the nursery; by leaving a small number of buds, the blooms that came out of them were quite large.Of course, you can always plant the same species of chrysanthemum, available as a bedding plant, where all flower buds have been allowed to develop and bloom.This same principle applies where fruit size is concerned. Apricots and plums should be thinned so that there is a space of two to four inches between them on the branch. Peaches and nectarines, due to their larger size, require a space of three to five inches between them in order to grow to a proper size. All of these fruits are produced one to a bud, but apples are different since they grow in clusters. Each cluster of apples should be thinned to one or two fruit, depending on the total load of fruit on the tree, and there should be a space of six to eight inches between clusters.Although their lifespan is short, florist chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum x grandiflorum) have a potential growth rate unmatched by any other plant. It’s hard to believe, but a cutting taken from that potted chrysanthemum you received over the holidays can be trained into a mammoth specimen, albeit under hothouse conditions.By a Japanese tr... https://www.ocregister.com/gardening-the-days-and-nights-of-blooming-chrysanthemums

Removing geranium blossoms, keeping cut flowers fresh and rabbit troubles - West Fargo Pioneer
Sunday, February 09, 2020N.D. listen live watch live A: The preservative that florists supply is specially formulated to help cut flowers last longer by increasing water uptake and reducing growth of harmful organisms that might block cut stem surfaces. Although 7UP might reduce the growth of organisms, and sugar might supply some saplike energy, the wrong proportions can do more harm than good. Although homemade recipes can be found, using the florist’s preservative is the safer alternative for success. Before initially putting cut flowers in a vase, giving each stem a fresh cut can promote better water uptake and longer life. ARCHIVE: Read more of Don Kinzler's Fielding Questions columns Q: Rabbits are totally destroying my young arborvitae evergreen. There’s hardly any greenery left, and they’ve gnawed off the twigs back to stubs. Will it come back in the spring from the part that is left? — C. Hansen, Fargo. A: Unfortunately, most evergreens, including arborvitae, don’t regenerate foliage on branches that have been chewed as severely as you describe. Last winter, rabbits chewed six of our young arborvitae, consuming branches on the way up as the snow depth increased, then finished the job on the way down, as snow melted. The shrubs required replacement. Deciduous (leafy) shrubs have an advantage, because most have the ability to branch freely from the base if rabbits consume the upper twigs, or gnaw the bark. Damaged portions of lilac, dogwood, spirea, rose, hydrangea and other favorite rabbit edibles can be pruned back quite drastically in early spring, and most rebound fine, often better than before. If you have a gardening or lawn care question, email Don Kinzler, NDSU Extension-Cass County, at kinzlerd@casscountynd.gov or call 701-241-5707. Questions with broad appeal may be published, so please include your name, city and state for appropriate advice. https://www.westfargopioneer.com/lifestyle/home-and-garden/4922590-Removing-geranium-blossoms-keeping-cut-flowers-fresh-and-rabbit-troubles
