Elevate basic bouquets with tips from a Biloxi professional - The Sun Herald

Just look outside.Jim DelPrince, floral design specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service in Biloxi and an associate professor, recently gave some grocery store bouquets a fancy boost with some unexpected touches he found on and near the grounds of the Extension Service as well as some leftover accents from other projects.DelPrince, who has worked with Mississippi State for 19 years, teaches classes to amateur designers as well as professionals.One of the first steps is to give your grocery store flowers as much TLC as possible.“You want to recut the stems and put the flower food in the water. That’s the powder in the packet that comes with your flowers,” he said. “Be sure you’re cutting your flowers with a knife. Scissors will pinch the stems and reduce water conductivity.”If the flowers look a little tired after their trip home, just put them in water while you complete the arrangement to refresh them.Medium-sized arrangementsDelPrince began with a medium-sized arrangement in a moss-covered rectangular basket made in Mississippi. Asiatic lilies and spray chrysanthemums are the stars in this grouping, in which he placed a well-moistened piece of florist’s foam. The flowers’ stems were lightly whittled to gentle points for ease in insertion.“When you have lilies like these, remove the anthers; just cut them o... http://www.sunherald.com/living/article91606657.html

Nell Luter FloydSpecial to Mississippi Clarion LedgerPublished 6:30 AM EDT Aug 19, 2020Vases splashed with color by artists at a local nonprofit looked even more vibrant when filled with fresh flowers during a popup shop in Ridgeland.Carly McKie, manager of Green Oak Florist in Ridgeland, invited the Mustard Seed, a community in Brandon for adults with developmental disabilities, to show its creations and join forces for the popup.“It was a natural partnership,” McKie said. “There’s so much creativity put into each piece created at the Mustard Seed. No two are alike.”Pink Gerbera daisies, yellow tulips and other brightly colored blossoms looked right at home in the vases, jars and containers the participants at the Mustard Seed, who are fondly known as “Seedsters,” painted with dots and dashes and swirls and stripes.“All of the vases we had previewed sold in the first hour, and the Mustard Seed had to bring in several more boxes of pots, vases, pitchers, and utensil holders,” McKie said. “It was an incredible da... https://www.clarionledger.com/story/magnolia/upside/2020/08/19/mustard-seed-green-oak-pop-up/3289607001/

Noble Floral Co. designed and installed this piece as their part of the virtual #FlowerTourPDX, a movement by local florists to do something worthwhile with all the flowers that would not be sold due to business closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Claudia Meza/OPB “I talked to my boss into letting me go in and just box up as many flowers as possible,” she said.That’s when she contacted her friend Alyssa Lytle, the owner of the floral design studio, Color Theory Design Co., which also temporarily shut down.“She said, ‘Come to the loading dock to get whatever flowers you want.’ And so that made me think, ‘What am I going to do with all these flowers?’” she said.Alyssa came up with a plan to take the flowers Jocelyn provided, which otherwise would’ve gone to waste, and make beautiful installations throughout the city as a way to provide a nice break for people who feel stuck inside.The result was Flower Tour PDX.

Sunlet Nursery shamrocks are evergreens - Escondido Grapevine

St. Patrick’s Day.)Never mind Mardi Gras. St. Patricks Day was rolling out the greenhouse doors of Sunlet Nursery on Tuesday in the form of shamrocks headed near and far, all the way to the Mississippi River and beyond.“We start growing shamrocks around Super Bowl Sunday and start shipping the week after St. Valentines Day, but the heavy shipping is done this week,” said Janet Kister, who owns Fallbrook’s Sunlet Nursery with husband John.This is the big week for shamrocks going to garden centers, supermarkets, florists and amusement parks. The Kisters are big fans of the shamrock and St. Patricks Day (March 17) for sentimental reasons almost as much as the business generated through sales.“Shamrocks are only 2 percent of our sales,” Kister said. “It’s a quick holiday for us, while we grow our other indoor and flowering plants throughout the year.”Janet Silva Kister back in the day, circa 2011/California BountifulFifteen years ago, when the Kisters started their Fallbrook operation, “Shamrocks were the very first crop we ever shipped, John Kister said. We sent them to a supermarket and they fell asleep,” Janet Kister continued. “They close up and go to sleep when they’re in a box, and all the leaves were drooping. We put little notes in the box: Shhhh … Were sleeping. Dont be alarmed. Set us up in the light and well wake up again. If you dont touch us, well go to sleep at night and perk up in the morning.”North County shamrock growing is a highly competitive industry, believe it or not, so while Sunlet grows tens of thousands of shamrocks for St. Patricks Day pleasure, the Kisters were reluctant to let their competitors in Fallbrook, Encinitas and San Marcos have access to the exact amounts.“They would love to know how many we grow, and wed love to know how many they grow,” Janet Kister said with a competitive laugh.The Kisters now have a large Fallbrook operation with 20 acres, including 7 acres of outdoor crops such as potted carnations, 3 acres of shade houses and 3 acres of greenhouses, each greenhouse about 175,000 square feet in size. About 44,000 square feet were devoted to shamrocks, valued at $85,000 on the wholesale market.Seasonal shamrocks come in ... https://escondidograpevine.com/2020/03/12/sunlet-nursery-shamrocks-are-evergreens/
