A lifelong scholar, Ousley often taught our presidents the botanical names of the plants used.John Watt (Served 1852–1862, under Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and Abraham Lincoln) hailing from Scotland, Watt and his wife, Jane Masterson Watt, were both employed at the White House, he as head gardener, she as its first female usher.

He ordered a giant water lily for the White House conservatory from Philadelphia in 1858.George R. McLeod (Served 1862–1865, under Abraham Lincoln) The second of three in a series of Scottish head gardeners at the White House, he stayed only a short time.

CBS11 Investigates Online ‘Florist’ With Hundreds Of Complaints - CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

Not even close! (credit: CBS 11 News)That’s because Troys Florist isn’t in Texas. The company’s address is a non-descript gray building without signs in East Brunswick, New Jersey. And it turns out, Troys isn’t a florist at all. When our colleagues at WCBS visited the business, they found a room filled not with flowers, but computers. Minutes later the workers locked the door and refused to answer the reporter’s questions.Troys Florist in New Jersey looks more like an office. Not a flower in sight. (credit: CBS 11 News)A former employee says Troys works as a middle man between customers and real flower shops. WCBS reporter Lisa Rozner asked her how Troys workers could find florists to fulfill orders. “The same way the people do,” said Bianca. “We go on Google, type in the address where we’re trying to send flowers to, and then nearby florists.”She says the company kept a cut of the money as his commission. “[My boss] would be on top of us in order to make that percentage every day. Anywhere from 40% up was perfect.” For example, if a customer ordered a $100 bouquet from Troys, she says she would place an order for $60 and Troys Florist would keep the other $40.The arrangement we bought from Troys cost $62 including tax and delivery. The Fort Worth florist who delivered it, said the order they received was for $30.More than 350 people have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau; the agency has given Troys Florist an F-rating. According to the BBB profile, Troys operates under several names including Logan’s Florist, Paxton’s Florist, Rudy’s Florist, Americana Flowers, and Yarpo Management LLC.The BBB issued an alert about Troys in 2015 about a pattern of complaints filed against the business. “Consumers have reported deliveries of flowers that were completely different from those ordered (type of flowers, vases, arrangements), being charged for flowers that never arrived and requests for refunds not being honored. BBB did not receive a response from the business.”We tried to reach Troys Florist and its owner Perry Kessisiades multiple times but received no response.When searching online for a florist, be sure to verify its physical address and look for customer reviews. Experts say when ordering flowers, make it clear that you do not want any substitutions. Most reputable florists will contact customers if changes are necessary. You can also use a local florist to send flowers elsewhere; many of them are part of a network of shops that fulfill orde... https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/02/12/cbs11-investigates-online-florist-with-hundreds-of-complaints/
