Flower Farming: Passiflora Farm specializes in flowers, from seed to centerpiece - Powell Tribune

Bozeman, Montana, and also one in Sheridan.“It’s fairly new, even in the region,” she said.In addition to doing flowers for weddings and events, Passiflora Farm does wholesale flowers, selling in Billings, Red Lodge, Cody and Powell. Local residents can become CSA (community supported agriculture) members, buying a “share” of the farm’s flowers.On a warm August afternoon, Urick walked through the field and hoop house, explaining each section and the flowers’ unique traits. She pointed to a row of coveted Cafe au Lait dahlias.“They’re dinner-plate size, so they’re huge, and they vary in color from ivory to cream to blush, even lavender,” Urick said.Nearby are sweet peas, which loved the cooler weather this season. She plans to save the seeds for future seasons.“It’s really hard to find these seeds,” she explained. “You’d have to go through England, so now we have some American farmers like myself who are saving our own seed and kind of hoping to build that stock up here in the U.S.”The heirloom flowers are kind of old-fashioned, Urick said, but becoming popular again.span clas... http://www.powelltribune.com/stories/flower-farming-passiflora-farm-specializes-in-flowers-from-seed-to-centerpiece,20631

How to Decorate Your Home for the Holidays with Artificial Greenery - Rhode Island Monthly

This Cedar and Pine Jingle Bell Wreath is part of the Accidental Farmgirl’s 2019 Christmas collection. The company, owned by Jessica Billings of Exeter, crafts wreaths and garlands from artificial materials. Photography by Angel Tucker.Welcome WreathWhen I was a kid, my mom’s annual post-Thanksgiving shopping trip to Maine signaled the start of the Christmas season. She and a friend would leave early in the morning, hit the outlets in Freeport and Kittery and drive home the following day, their backseat laden with boxes, bags and a holiday wreath. The wreath was never an ordinary wreath. It was always a behemoth, a bushy halo that made my dad close his eyes and breathe deeply in anticipation of having to hang it. Eventually he’d engineer a method, but the wreath’s girth always prevented the storm door from closing properly. After a few weeks, discarded needles cluttered the entry and dotted the house. This pattern would continue until a week or so after New Year’s when my dad would finally take the wreath down and haul it to the dump.The moral of the story: Wreaths don’t have to be monstrous to be festive.

Keep Your Valentine Flowers Looking Their Best - TAPinto.net

Or add a few roses to your bouquet of other colorful flowers.  Once you make your selection, ask the florist to include a packet of floral preservative and wrap your flowers. This protects them from extreme temperatures and jostling during the ride home.Extend the life of your floral gift with a few key steps before placing the flowers in a vase.Remove the lower leaves, so just the leafless stems are sitting in the water. This minimizes bacterial growth that can shorten the vase life of cut flowers. Recut the stems and arrange your blossoms in a clean vase filled with fresh water and floral preservative. Cutting the stems on an angle increases the amount of exposed surface area to absorb water. Change the water, clean the vase if needed, recut the stems and add floral preservative every two to three days. Remove any flowers that have faded to keep your arrangement looking its best. Doing this can double the life of your cut flowers.Further extend the vase life of cut flowers by displaying them in a cool, draft-free location. Or move them to a cooler spot at night and back in a prominent spot during the day.Even if you do everything right, roses sometimes bend or droop at the neck and disappoint. This can happen if they have not received enough water at some point between harvest and your vase.Fortunately, there is a way to revive roses.  Remove the roses from the vase.  Recut the stems and submerge the whole rose – stem, leaves, flowers and all – in a sink or tub of warm water.  Leave the roses submerged for 30 minutes.Clean and refill the vase with fresh water and a bit of floral preservative.  Recut the stems on a slant, underwater if possible, and place the roses back in the vase.  You will have perky fresh roses to enjoy for a week or more.And pick up an additional bouquet for yourself. Fresh flowers are a great way to brighten your home and lift your spirits.Melinda Myers has written numerous books, including Small Space Gardening. She hosts The Great Courses “How to Grow Anything” DVD series and the nationally-syndicated Melinda’s Garden Moment TV & radio program.

Marrazzo's Florist To Move If LMT Development Approved: Report - Patch.com

LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA — Marrazzo's Manor Lane florists, a fixture in Lower Makefield, will move, but stay open, if a new residential development at its current site is approved. The Intelligencer reports that developer Cedar Crossing Investors is seeking variances to build 11 homes on about three acres of land at Marrazzo's current location, at Yardley-Morrisville and Pine Grove roads. The paper writes that the two-story townhouses would be about 2,800-2,900 square feet, with four bedrooms, according to plans filed with Lower Makefield Township. The development would be at the site of the third-generation Marrazzo's, which was established in 1947 in the Manor Lane section of Morrisville. It moved to its current location, the site of an existing nursery, in 1984, according to the paper. Mike Marrazzo told The Intelligencer that there's a deal in place to sell the land. If Lower Makefield approves the development, the family business will relocate nearby, he said.

Richard Rico | Flora, & a perfect fit - Vacaville Reporter

THE 63-year flower cottage next to McCune Garden Chapel on Main St. is in full bloom again. Stems made it happen. After 9 years on Merchant Street, owner Caryn Mikich uprooted Stems Florist to go downtown, taking her flora and her 8 creative makers of bouquets, nosegays and rose sprays with her. The new Stems opened Jan. 21. “I always wanted to be downtown,” Caryn said in her budding shop, “but didn’t want to overcrowd the floral field.” But it’s clear now that this is where she should be. It’s in her DNA. “My family was always into gardening; we didn’t own a shop, but flowers were in our lives.” As fate would have it, Caryn worked six years for former Rose Florist owner, Janet Lopez Balcom, who retired a year ago after 62 years of Lopez ownership. Caryn has a history of decorating lives, events and nonprofits all over the city and county. Floral touches on the Merriment on Main stage were her gift.The cottage was built in 1938 by Del and Elizabeth McCune as their home the same year they bought the funeral home. They moved out in 1956, converting it to a flower shop operated by John and Rose Lopez. Barbara McCune owns the cottage and the funeral home. “I have really good vibes about the move,” Caryn said, a feeling shared by her daughter, Amanda. Does she like the florist world? “I love it!” she said. She’s a mom to Sadie, 11 and Cason, 7. Caryn’s dad, Mike, is in the pipeline industry. A grand opening is in the works, perfect time to meet Caryn, visit Stems, and chat with shop greeter, Gracie, a yellow-headed Amazon parrot. I’d like to check her DNA against Gracie, our golden pup. They might be related.The author is former publisher of The Reporter. https://www.thereporter.com/richard-rico-flora-a-perfect-fit
