Here's How to Make Your Fresh-Cut Flowers Last - StyleBlueprint

We’re sold.Pro Tip #2: Check for signs of age and mishandling.When choosing flowers, the first step is checking them for signs of damage. Bruises, yellowed or browning leaves, and crushed or wilted petals are a sign they’ve already been sitting out for an extended period, which dramatically shortens their lifespan in your home. Taking a look at the stems will also offer the best indication of their health since stems and leaves are the first parts of the flower to die. “If they’re already browning or turning yellow when you’re going to purchase them, they will most likely last one or two more days,” says Mattie Bush, owner of Amelia’s Flower Truck in Nashville, TN. “On the other hand, if a flower looks a little sad and droopy, touch the stem and see if it’s sturdy. If the stem is still holding up, the flower will most likely revive once you get it in water and out of direct sunlight.”Greg Campbell, co-owner of Garden District in Memphis, TN, adds, “Take a look at the water in the bucket holding the flowers you are considering. Is it clean and debris free? If not, there’s a pretty good chance the flowers have been around a while.”RELATED: The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Flower Arranging We are grateful to all our sponsors:Pro Tip #3: Get your flowers home quickly.It might go without saying, but get your bouquet home and into a vase as soon as possible. Leaving flowers in a hot car during the summer months is the fastest way to end up with distressed buds.Pro Tip #4: Trim the stems and remove the leaves.Our experts unanimously agree that trimming flowers is crucial since it opens their stems back up to drink water more efficiently. Lauren Stanfield, owner of Louisville, KY’s Fleur and Frond flower truck, advises, “With clean floral scissors, trim the stems underwater.” She suggests submerging them and making angled cuts below the water level, allowing the stems to pul... https://styleblueprint.com/everyday/how-to-make-fresh-cut-flowers-last/

Flower Shuttle brings new life to used arrangements - WRAL.com

Flower Shuttle organizers have been giving them away as gifts. "We deliver them to people who normally wouldn't get flowers in our community," McVey said.McVey said the signs of wilting or browning on petals can often be peeled away. One package of peonies were headed for the dump even before they had burst into bloom. "But they will bloom for the clients that receive them," McVey said.On Tuesday, about 70 volunteers worked to create 350 arrangements for recipients in the community. Those include people in hospice units, nursing homes or senior centers like Capital Towers on Six Forks Road in Raleigh.Shuttle volunteer Judi McClure brought her granddaughter Lauren along for her delivery duty at the complex."We're from the Flower Shuttle -- and these are for you," announced McClure to the first resident they came into contact with.In most cases, volunteers deliver arrangements to front offices who then provide the gifts to hospital patients or nursing center residents.Lauren McClure enjoyed the opportunity to see the reaction from Capitol Tower residents. She delivered them to two residents playing cards in a sunroom.Katherine McVey said the Flower Shuttle always needs more flower donors and volunteers to help with arrangements.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA 21) —  Each month, ABC 21 partners with Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana to showcase ‘Young Entrepreneurs’ in our area.For June, we introduced Emma Browning, 21, and her business: Emmie’s Flower Cart.It’s a mobile, self-serving flower cart where you walk up and pick any flowers you want to create a bouquet. They’re priced by the stem.Afterward, they wrap the bouquet up for you and send you on your way.It’s usually set up on Saturday mornings on Wayne Street in downtown Fort Wayne.The business is owned by Emma, but it is really a family affair.“At the end of the day, they really help me so much and I really couldn’t do it without them, seriously. So, I’m really thankful for my family,” Emma proclaimed.The family got the idea when they saw a flower truck in Nashville. They decided to bring the idea back to Fort Wayne.Emma said that it’s meant to help her pay for her nursing courses at the University of Saint Francis, but it has another purpose.“A lot of people say ‘this just makes me so happy,’ and that’s just really what we want. We want people to come to the cart and just feel happy,” Emma said. “I know it sounds cliche to say, bu... https://wpta21.com/news/2019/06/15/young-entrepreneur-of-the-month-emma-browning/

Life in prison for Ridgefield florist in partner's murder - Rutherford Daily Voice

Murphy had been found dead. The murder weapon was found in the walk-in refrigerator at G&M under a pile of decorative branches, Grootenboer said. Battinelli bought the Browning .22 lever-action rifle at Ramsey Outdoor, she told jurors. When a Garfield police sergeant found it, she said, “the trigger was in the locked back position indicating it had been fired. It had one spent .22 caliber shell casing inside, and one .22 caliber bullet. “The bullet had a “B” stamp on the bottom of it. On January 6, 2010 when investigators searched Thomas Battinelli’s house, they found the same ammunition there.” Subsequent testing turned up Battinelli’s right, middle fingerprint on the gun. During his closing arguments, Neary ( left ) told jurors: “The fact it is Tom Battinelli’s gun and fingerprints isn’t proof.” STORY / PHOTOS: Mary K.

Planting native grasses, blooming flowers on reclaimed mine land can benefit wildlife - The Columbus Dispatch

Alissa Widman Neese The Columbus Dispatch @AlissaWidman The one-acre patch of prairie in southern Ohio was a cause for celebration.Insects hummed. Tiny saplings sprouted toward the sky. A flat, browning landscape surrounded the oasis, where switchgrass stood tall and bright yellow wildflowers brought smiles to the environmental specialists surveying the scene.Perhaps someday the abandoned strip mine in northern Jackson County could be completely reborn, filled with foliage native to Ohio for the first time in decades."It's quite challenging, to get lush vegetation growing on something that once looked like the surface of the moon," said Rebecca Swab, director of restoration ecology at The Wilds, a conservation center in Cumberland, about 70 miles southeast of Columbus.Her research suggests Midwest prairie plants could speed up the process.The state, with help from The Wilds and Ohio State University soil microbiologists, is now testing the theory on six experimental acres at three former coal strip-mining sites: Rose Valley in Belmont County, Joyce Hill in Tuscarawas County and Middleton Run, the site in Jackson County.The group planted native seeds in 2014 and 2015 and has been s... http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170922/planting-native-grasses-blooming-flowers-on-reclaimed-mine-land-can-benefit-wildlife

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The president of a Bulls Head business says she is frightened after a worker had a face-to-face encounter with an intruder in the second burglary at the shop this summer.Dana Montana of Grapevine and Florist on Richmond Avenue said she had just left the store at around 7 p.m. on Monday when an unidentified man entered the shop.Montana’s manger was still in the store, however, and saw the man on the security cameras.A video shared with the Advance/SILive.com shows a man wearing a gray hoodie, gloves and a face covering with an American flag on it taking money from the cash register.The video shows the man rummaging through the register and putting what looks like cash in his pocket.Not knowing if the intruder was armed, the manager “walks slowly and closes the door” that separated him from the suspect, Montana said.This closed off the intruder’s exit, trapping him in the shop.Shortly after, a brief interaction between the manager, who was holding the door and could not call 911, and the masked man begins, Montana said.“I’ll give it back.

Flowers and Home Décor on Nucleus Avenue - Flathead Beacon

Within two weeks of her move to the East Coast, her mother was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. Kavanagh and her husband returned home to Montana following her mother’s death in 2019, and she lost her father shortly after. In the wake of her parents’ deaths, she switched gears and opened Rose Petal Floral and Supplies in Cut Bank, her husband’s hometown. “I lost both of my parents within a year of each other and just felt like I always wanted to start my own business,” she said. “I helped other people bring their businesses to communities with marketing and I felt like if I was going to do it, now is the time.” In September, Kavanagh purchased the former Glacier Wallflowers business in Columbia Falls and opened the second Rose Petal location in the former Yoga Hive on Nucleus Avenue. Now with locations on the east and west sides of Glacier National Park, she’s featuring local retailers and florists as well as exotic plants that wouldn’t normally be found in rural areas. “Our goal is always to bring things to communities like Columbia Falls and Cut Bank that have more of an urban feel to them — brands you wouldn’t normally see in Montana — and then we try to do the same thing with our flowers,” K... https://flatheadbeacon.com/2020/12/02/flowers-home-decor-nucleus-avenue/
