A devoted florist gives each 9/11 victim a white birthday rose - The Gazette

NEW YORK — Every Sept. 11, Michael Collarone, a Brooklyn-bred florist who goes by Mikey Flowers, has the same routine. In the hours before 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane struck the World Trade Center 19 years ago, he parks his truck in downtown Manhattan and, bearing buckets of angelic white roses, walks to the site where he once helped scour for victims’ remains in the twin towers’ smoldering wreckage.There, the burly 62-year-old meets up with “my guys” from the Port Authority police. This year, he will be wearing a mask for the first time and, for social distancing reasons, the victims’ names will be played from recordings on a loudspeaker rather than read aloud from a stage, but little else will change for him. “I’m going to hug my friends,” he says. “I’m going to hug my guys.”Collarone’s steadfast devotion to honoring the victims of 9/11 isn’t a once-a-year kind of thing, though. He’s been the de facto volunteer florist to Ground Zero since it was known around the city as the Pile or the Pit. And that didn’t change when the... https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/a-devoted-florist-gives-each-911-victim-a-white-birthday-rose-20200911

The Best Gift for a Flower Lover Is Moda Operandi's Flash Flower Box - TownandCountrymag.com

There was a beautiful bouquet sent by a friend, another one sent by my wonderful co-workers, and then countless bunches of flowers bought from our local Brooklyn grocery stores. But by far the most transcendent floral delivery was the Flower Flash Box from Moda Operandi. This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.The box is a collaboration between Moda Operandi Co-Founder Lauren Santo Domingo and Lewis Miller, florist extraordinaire and the man behind the exuberant flower arrangements that have shown up around New York City, bursting out of trash cans and perched next to subway entrances. Each box—there are two you can choose from, Country Wildflower, or Beach Bloom—contains enough blooms for several generous arrangements. They're also accompanied by a series of breezy instructional videos starring Miller himself, explaining how to trim, hydrate, and arrange your flowers.The gift here is not just the gorgeous blossoms but the chance to spend an hour arranging them. My box arrived, neatly packed with 15 creamy white peonies, 10 stems of upright bouvardia, 10 stems of soulful, green helleborus, and 20 stems of cheerful white spray roses. I arrayed my collection of vases, pulled out my clippers, and for a brief moment in time I thought about nothing more than color, proportion, and the balance of gre... https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a32910308/moda-operandi-lewis-miller-flash-flower-box/

Flower shop target of online harassment after Shinkle abstains from Michigan vote - Detroit Free Press

Ashley Nerbovig  Detroit Free PressPeople threatened the life of a Republican on the Michigan canvassing board and tanked the online reviews of his brother's flower shop as the board voted to certify state election results Monday. Republican Norm Shinkle abstained from the vote, alluding to election issues in Detroit, while fellow Republican and Vice Chair Aaron Van Langevelde voted with the board's two Democratic members. The board certified the state election results, which showed Joe Biden earned about 154,000 more votes than President Donald Trump. The next step in the process is for Michigan's electors to cast the state's 16 Electoral College votes on Dec. 14. "I don't know about my Democrat colleagues, but I know Aaron and I received quite a few comments, outright threats, nasty emails telling me my family's at risk," Shinkle said. "I had one person even suggest simply, you got to vote yes to certify for the safety of your family."More: Michigan board votes to certify election results despite GOP calls to delayMore: Mich.

Museum, the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce and volunteering with Angela Hospice with flowers."We're always trying to do for others," she said.Then earlier this year, the coronavirus pandemic hit Michigan, forcing her to close her doors temporarily. During that time, she looked ahead to what doing business in a world occupied by COVID-19 looked like. She said she did not want to operate like that and risk her health. So she's decided to retire."While we were closed, every day in the news was something different," she said. "I just said, 'I think that it's time.'"'I'm going to miss the customers'Ribar, who still lives down the street from the floral shop, said she was sad to hear the shop still bearing her name would close, but understood why Morrison would decide to do it.She said meeting Morrison decades ago was an important point in her professional life."It would've been a monumental task (to stay open). She's a hard worker, always has been," Ribar said of Morrison. "She does anything you need to do and happy to do it. We did a good thing when we met Lori."Morrison planned to be out of the space by the end of the month. While Morrison said she's looking forward to spending time with family and friends or traveling near Christmas instead of working, she said she will miss the loyal customers that came in all the time looking for that personal touch in flowers. She said she hasn't ruled out helping out in other flower shops in the future; she said she's already had some people inquire if she wants to help during a busier season in the future."I'm going to miss the customers," she said. "I'm certainly not going to miss the long hours or smelling like sap. "I am going to miss the people I see every Christmas."... https://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/plymouth/2020/06/25/plymouth-floral-shop-closes/5306585002/
