Garden PartySUE ELLEN’S FLORAL BOUTIQUE“Moms come in all ages, occupations and style preferences, but they are usually united by fashion choices that are fun and, of course, decadent. But being a mom can be a tough gig—the expectations are sky-high, the hours are long, the work itself— Mother’s Day is a good time to stop and renew our appreciation, and an awesome gift couldn’t hurt.” — Sue ellen LARRIMORECredits: Bold and stunning, this arrangement commands the room with colorful peonies, garden roses, hydrangeas, ranunculus and phalaenopsis orchid stems. For an added female touch, the arrangement is potted in a moss-covered coin purse, with added jewels and placed in a wood floral garden box.

Lilies & CherriesFLOWERS BY FUDGIE“The hedge design inspiration came from gardening in the yard with my own mom.” — BECKI CREIGHTONCredits: Springing with oriental blush-colored Sorbonne lilies and seasonal cherry blossom branches, Becki Creighton, owner of Flowers by Fudgie, created a lush arrangement using fresh-cut tree fern, shaped into a hedge. The stone planter then receives a dash of whimsy, once Creighton encircled it with curly willow shrubs and adorned them with faux butterflies for a garden feel. The grandeur of the four-tiered design catches the eye of artists and green thumbs alike, while the wired ribbon French bow adds a gift-wrapped statement. Flowers By Fudgie, 6627 Midnight Pass Rd., Sarasota, 941-349-4651, flowersbyfudgie.com. Call for pricing of smaller version. Decorative textile sourced from Boca Bargoons Sarasota. Hats Off To MomTIGER LILY FLORIST“Each one of us was nourished, protected and loved when we were too tiny to do anything for ourselves. Someone watched over us, guided us as we took our first steps and giggled with us as we tried new foods. If we are lucky, we have her wisdom, strength and fortitude. If we are luckier still, we have her by our side. And while honoring our mothers every day is a joy and a delight to us at Tiger Lily, Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate her even more. So, hats off to the family CEO, stylist, Ms. Fix-it, lunch-maker, cheerleader, teacher, referee and superhero!” — LINDA DOMENICOCredits: A conceptual design turns heads with fuchsia phalaenopsis, peach free spirit garden roses, calla lilies, antique hydrangea, pur... https://www.srqmagazine.com/articles/1173/Natural-Beauties

Dear Abby: Boyfriend kindly ordered flowers, but they arrived looking tattered - Chicago Sun-Times
Saturday, January 18, 2020It was one of those box-of-flowers deliveries. I doubt my boyfriend realized they would not arrive in a vase and arranged by a florist. Instead, they had been packed in a box, without water, with the vase packed alongside, delivered by a regular package courier. I usually send him a photo of my bouquet along with my heartfelt thanks, and while I thanked him as usual, I did not send a picture of the bouquet because I knew he would feel bad — both about the lackluster arrangement, and the money he had spent on them.I found what I believe was the intended arrangement on the website, and it was lovely — a far cry from what was delivered to me. I love my twice-a-year flowers (birthday and Christmas), and I don’t want to come across as critical or ungrateful. I am blessed to have such a thoughtful partner. If flowers were just a one-time gift, I would not even consider mentioning it. However, with Valentine’s Day (and another flower delivery) approaching, I wonder if I should let my boyfriend know that it might be better to use a local florist to ensure he is getting his money’s worth. Or should I just cross my fingers that it was a one-off? — UNGRATEFUL GIRLFRIENDDEAR “UNGRATEFUL”: Tell your boyfriend why you didn’t send him a photo of the flowers he sent as you usually do... https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/1/18/21071522/dear-abby-boyfriend-kindly-ordered-flowers-but-they-arrived-looking-tattered

Saturday, January 18, 2020Flowers of Point Loma at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd. is celebrating 35 years. The full-service florist shop now owned by Penn Bryan has lasted 35 years in Point Loma by customizing its business to meet its customers’ needs.“We were looking to find a flower stand to start out, and saw that the flower shop on the corner was up for sale,” said Bryan of how she and her husband acquired the business, Flowers of Point Loma, now at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd., from a retiring brother-sister team who’d had it since 1985.“I found my niche doing things that people wanted,” noted Bryan. “No other flower shops do what we do here.”The previous owners stayed with the Bryans for a year to help transition them into the floral business. That was good, added Penn, pointing out she had no previous experience with flowers.“I wanted to have kids and take them where I work,” Bryan said. “My daughter grew up in this flower shop.”Bryan fulfills her customer’s expectations, whatever they are. “They can make up their own bouquets or we can make it for them,” she said. “We’ve been here so long and people k... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27692651/article-Flowers-of-Point-Loma-still-blooms-after-35-years--?instance=pb
St. Paul woman offers fresh bouquets from Little Free Florist stand - Minneapolis Star Tribune
Saturday, January 18, 2020Little Free Library. She was inviting neighbors to stop and smell the flowers — then take some home from her Little Free Florist stand. Hankerson, 52, a community organizer and gardening educator, said her giveaway flower bouquets are a mashup between the Little Free Library movement and the unmanned produce stands you sometimes see in rural Minnesota. Except Hankerson wasn’t selling anything. She just wanted to do something neighborly for her Hamline-Midway community. ... http://www.startribune.com/seen-the-little-free-libraries-how-about-the-little-free-florist/559369902/
