He placed high in the First to the Finish Invitational in Peoria on Sept. 10 and is running again at Peoria this weekend.Flowers, a senior, is a runner any coach would love to have, and not just for his cross-country skills.“Ben is not only a great runner but also a great person,” his coach Harold Landon said. “I have not once since Ben was a freshman heard someone say anything bad about him.”Landon said Flowers works as hard and is as dedicated as any runner Landon has ever had on his Jersey team.“He had a great summer of running, he put in some weightlifting and he is even doing some yoga,” Landon said. “He doesn’t want to have any regrets about this season.

Castle Rock florist to design 'Parasite' Oscars party - The Columbian

This is our ballgame now,” Vorse said of Pollen, the Castle Rock florist shop he opened July 2017. “I’ve worked with a lot of very large event production companies, but this is all Pollen. That’s the difference.”Event design and production company Gina Wade Creative met Saturday to decide who would design the party, Vorse said. None of the designers in L.A. fit their vision, and the company knew Vorse from working together on several past projects.“They got out of their meeting last Saturday and immediately they said, ‘We have to fly Pollen in,’ which is pretty neat,” Vorse said. “It was more than flattering, to say the least.”He declined to discuss how much he’ll earn or what the design costs.Vorse started his “creative process” almost immediately by watching “Parasite” for inspiration. Set in Korea, the dark comedy thriller follows one rich family and one poor family as their lives get unusually entangled.Pollen’s Oscar party design “pulls different moments” and “works off what the environment within the film looked like,” Vorse said. For example, all of the containers used in the design will be concrete, he said. He will fill the structures with “dark and sultry” colored flowers such as Japanese sweet peas.“It will all be very industrial, and the florals will be lush and romantic, but deep, dark, moody colors,” Vorse said.The Oscars party will feature suspended pieces and more avant garde decor than the weddings he’s designed in Cowlitz County, he said. But “pieces of Pollen” will shine through.“All that lushness and all the beautiful blossoms … the way we construct things here will be part of it. We will just add the extra flair once we get there.”Vorse will buy most of his flowers and design product once he’s in California, he said. But he also plans to take “a little piece of Washington with us,” because locally grown flowers are “just the best,” he said. Plus, some of those species aren’t readily available in Los Angeles.

Gardening: The days and nights of blooming chrysanthemums - OCRegister

You can plant a florist’s chrysanthemum – the supermarket type – in the garden and it will live for three or four years. However, chrysanthemums are easily propagated from shoot tip cuttings, so you can perpetuate them for an eternity. When you first set eyes on your potted chrysanthemum, the flowers are enormous. Now that it’s planted in the garden, the number of flowers is much greater but they are much smaller, still richly petaled as if they were miniature dahlias.The reason for flower size difference is, once again, manipulation at the nursery. Those giant initial flowers were the result of pinching off most of the flower buds as the plant developed in the nursery; by leaving a small number of buds, the blooms that came out of them were quite large.Of course, you can always plant the same species of chrysanthemum, available as a bedding plant, where all flower buds have been allowed to develop and bloom.This same principle applies where fruit size is concerned. Apricots and plums should be thinned so that there is a space of two to four inches between them on the branch. Peaches and nectarines, due to their larger size, require a space of three to five inches between them in order to grow to a proper size. All of these fruits are produced one to a bud, but apples are different since they grow in clusters. Each cluster of apples should be thinned to one or two fruit, depending on the total load of fruit on the tree, and there should be a space of six to eight inches between clusters.Although their lifespan is short, florist chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum x grandiflorum) have a potential growth rate unmatched by any other plant. It’s hard to believe, but a cutting taken from that potted chrysanthemum you received over the holidays can be trained into a mammoth specimen, albeit under hothouse conditions.By a Japanese tr... https://www.ocregister.com/gardening-the-days-and-nights-of-blooming-chrysanthemums
