Meet the Vendors: The Heavy Metal Florist of Coyoacán Market Tells All - Culinary Backstreets

The list goes on and spans two traditional puestos (stalls). In perpetual motion, making funeral arrangements and putting together romantic bouquets for impulsive suitors, is Jonathan Renata Belmont, a bearded man of tall stature with a penchant for heavy metal.He rents the spaces from his aunts who inherited them from his grandmother, another florist who dedicated her life to the craft. For the past 14 years, he and his brother Marcos have run the show.“It’s a tough job like any job,” Jonathan says. “It has its stressful side, its exhaustive side. It requires a lot of dedication.”As a market vendor in Mexico City, a day off is a rarity. “There is no designated vacation here,” he says. “Days off, practically we don’t have them. Being in a touristic center that receives Mexican and foreign tourism means that when others have vacation, we work. There’s always movement here, so we have to be working.”When they started, the two brothers were each at the market about 362 days per year. Nowadays, either Jonathan or Marcos can be found selling flowers and arrangements every day aside from Good Friday, Christmas and New Year’s Day. The rest of the year, each manages to take a total of around 15 days off. Holidays and weekends are mandatory work days, being times when there is the most foot traffic, even if, as Jonathan says, the flocks of tourists are not often looking to purchase flowers.Prices for produce at the market are inflated in comparison with the weekly, roving tianguis markets and neighborhood grocers. But the displays of fruits and vegetables are nevertheless enticing. As central Mexico’s dry season comes to an end, the variety of local goods will soar dramatically.Mangoes, avocados, guava, strawberries, blackberries, mamey and figs are among Jonathan’s favorite fruits that come into season between May and August. Into the summer, he says,... https://culinarybackstreets.com/cities-category/mexico-city/2019/meet-the-vendors-2/

Spa City flower shop plays big role in Belmont Stakes - WNYT

We have the opportunity to put it possibly on a Triple Crown winner and it's the 150th anniversary of the Belmont Stakes so what could be better," said Susan Garrett of Dehn's Flowers. The Belmont is the run for the white carnations.Meantime, at the Oklahoma Track at Saratoga Race Course, one of the owners of a horse that had a chance for the Triple Crown, Funny Cide in 2003, made a stop before heading down for the Belmont. Fifteen years ago, Jack Knowlton and his "Sackatoga Stables" were the talk of the racing world until a sloppy track gave Empire Maker the title. "Every year that you've got a horse coming into Belmont with a chance to win the Triple Crown, that's a big deal," said Knowlton.Also at the Oklahoma track was Eric Guillot, a trainer who has been texting "Justify's" trainer, Bob Baffert. Baffert won the Triple Crown with American Pharoah in 2015. Guillot says Belmont with its sandy surface can be a taxing race -- a mile and a half."It's whether or not the sixth race in four months gets to him ... https://wnyt.com/news/belmont-stakes-saratoga-flower-shop-blankets-dehns-flowers/4942269/

Forget Flower Girls Chic “Flower Grannies” Led the Way Down the Aisle at this Wedding

Weddings Chelsea Blair and Joe Garrity wed at Belmont Manor in August of 2017. We’ve seen a lot of twists on typical wedding traditions, from lilac-colored wedding dresses to celebrity officiants and a ring-bearer turned security guard. But nothing quite pulls on our heart strings like a incorporating family into the wedding ceremony—especially when it comes to cute grandmas. For Chelsea Blair and Joseph Garrity, the decision to include their grandmas in lieu of the conventional flower girls was a no-brainer. Their reception afterwards was inspired by the Tuscan countryside, with the party tent decorated like a Italian villa complete with ivy-covered tent poles designed to look like trees, with moss, blooms, and olive branches floating above.
