Perfect storm for florists: Valentine's Day amid big snowfall lead to bouquet bust - Washington Post

We don’t make money unless the trucks are moving,” Callahan said, chipping away at the frozen wall surrounding the delivery van parked next to Bethesda Florist.A Valentine’s Day banner flapped in the wind on the store’s awning. “Send Your Love,” it said. Callahan shoveled. “Normally, on [February] 13th, there’d be 15 vehicles lined up out here,” he said. “It’d be mayhem on the street. But look at it.”Nobody was there. Nobody was moving. The great Cupid crisis of 2014 was underway. “Not ideal,” Callahan said.His family’s shop and florists across the snowed-in Washington region were facing the cut-flower equivalent of the perfect storm: major snowfall the day before Valentine’s Day. Americans are expected to spend nearly $2 billion saying it with flowers during the holiday this year, according to a National Retail Federation survey. It’s one of the industry’s three biggest sales periods, along with Mother’s Day and the December holidays, according to the Society of American Florists in Alexandria.Flower shops are always humming around Valentine’s Day — except when they aren’t: On Thursday, two-thirds of Bethesda Florist’s employees were at home. The delivery fleet was grounded. The phones were ringing only sporadically.“The s... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/perfect-storm-for-florists-valentines-day-amid-big-snowfall-lead-to-bouquet-bust/2014/02/13/ac70a220-94f1-11e3-83b9-1f024193bb84_story.html

Column: Farmers Open fixture: San Diego Police officer Ganley bounces from flowers to fugitives to fairways - The San Diego Union-Tribune

U.S. Open.Before Debbie Ganley joined the San Diego Police Department, the Long Island native worked as a florist who brightened the homes of director Steven Spielberg, actor Chevy Chase and the former CEO of Warner Brothers in the ritzy enclave known as The Hamptons.Nothing, though, prepared her for unexpected moments quite like a domestic disturbance call.“The suspect’s weapon was a frozen fish,” said Ganley, laughing. “It’s like, ‘OK, how do you impound a fish?’ ” Advertisement That unique mix of commitment to the job and magnetic personality has made Ganley, the officer in charge at the Famers Insurance Open, a player favorite and the inaugural winner of the event’s Hometown Hero Award.The person who has guarded and guided Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, John Daly and so many more since 2002 has grown into more of a fixture than most who swing clubs each year at Torrey Pines.How does a florist end up with a badge and gun on the other side of the country? Start with her parents, both horticulturists, who operated a garden center. Her father also served as a volunteer fireman in East Hampton, N.Y. The worlds blurred, as she grew to admire finely manicured golf surfaces as much as the intoxicating camaraderie of a firehouse.When Ganley moved to... https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/sports-columnists/story/2020-01-17/farmers-insurance-open-golf-san-diego-police-office-deborah-ganley-tiger-woods-phil-mickelson-john-daly
