Can flowers live through a pandemic? | Herald Community Newspapers - liherald.com

By Alexandra Whitbeck  Flowers only last for so long after being cut. The inventories of some local florists, including those in Baldwin, Freeport and Oceanside, were greatly affected when shops were forced to close in late March because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Roses, lilies and daisies tend to live longer than hyacinths, tulips and lilacs, however, the maximum lifespan of cut flowers is still about a week with maximum care. Since Phase One of New York’s reopening plan began May 27, florists were able to open in a limited manner with hopes of restocking as much as possible. Face masks and a limited capacity were requirements made by New York State that Imperial Florist in Baldwin, Flowers by Mike in Oceanside and Duryea’s Flower Shop in Freeport are all following in order to continue peddling petals. Ann Marie Pierce at Imperial Florist in Baldwin has been operating her shop with only one in-store employee and one delivery driver since late May, accepting curbside and delivery orders.

Gardening: Succulents not only save water and money, but offer other benefits - OCRegister

Today, approximately one-third of the 1,500 plants currently grown are in the succulent category. This fact was revealed by Randy Baldwin, manager of the nursery since its inception, at a recent celebratory gathering at the wholesale nursery’s Santa Barbara growing grounds.The proliferation of succulents among the nursery’s selections may be attributed to a number of factors, but the long periods of drought in California over the past four decades is foremost among them. During this time, many municipalities have resorted to water rationing that makes the planting of lawns, for example, which need almost daily irrigation during the summer to stay lush, problematic. When lawns are removed, succulents — many of which are quite parsimonious when it comes to water consumption — are often called upon to fill the void.There are other reasons which explain why succulents have become the preference of many. Their slow growth means maintenance is less intense than in a garden of more traditional plant fare. Thus, a weekly gardening service is no longer required and the gardener’s monthly service fee is saved. Since there is no mowing and less pruning in a succ... https://www.ocregister.com/gardening-succulents-not-only-save-water-and-money-but-offer-other-benefits

The Best Florists in New York - Curbed

Photo-Illustration: by Curbed; Photos Getty Images Since 1985, our annual “Best of New York” issue has named standout services, unique shops, and special spots in dozens of categories. Now that Curbed is part of New York’s family, we have reimagined “Best of New York” as an ever-expanding resource that could rival Yelp in usefulness but feels more like a secret Google doc that gets passed among friends. To find the places recommended on these lists, we polled hundreds of stylish and savvy New Yorkers and begged them to tell us their go-tos. The result: our own Yellow Pages, containing only excellent places. Dutch Flower Line, 150 W. 28th St.; dutchflowerline.com; 212-727-8600 This 36-year-old shop is known for its wide-ranging selection of flowers from around the world — including Japanese ranunculus that set designer Noemi Bonazzi calls “exquisite” and “the size of your hand,” peonies from New Zealand, and cherry-red tulips sh... https://www.curbed.com/article/best-florists-nyc.html

Nanan creates flower arrangements to last a lifetime - Korea JoongAng Daily

The enthusiastic response was even beyond my expectation.   Nanan's window painting on display in Lower East Side, New York in 2007.   The major popularity of “Long Long Time Flower” could lead to plagiarism. Are you concerned about that?   I’ve already seen copycats! My Instagram followers keep me informed of such cases. As I learned from the painful experience with my window paintings before, I have already obtained a patent for my “Long Long Time Flower” including its concept and its title. I politely warned the copycats and then they withdrew their works.   After my window paintings earned popularity, some people began to draw on windows in a very similar style and with a simi... https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2021/03/31/culture/artsDesign/Nanan-Nanan-Kang-Long-Long-Time-Flower/20210331162800400.html

Have You Spotted the Giant Floral Displays Popping Up Around the City? - Pittsburgh Magazine

Tommy Hilfiger and Dolce & Gabbana, Dickson says she came up with the idea for the installations after seeing florist Lewis Miller Design’s “Flower Flash” project in New York City. In February, she installed her first display, wrapping garlands of flowers around the columns of Shadyside’s Family House — which provides a “home away from home” for patients and their families seeking medical treatment in Pittsburgh. “To all of the healthcare workers and all of the patients and their families, this one’s for you!” Dickson wrote on Instagram of the project. Later that month, she spruced up her hometown area, coating a light pole and corner on Brilliant Avenue in Aspinwall with flowers. In early March, she struck again, creating an enormous bouquet atop a recycling bin on Penn Avenue and 21st Street in the Strip District. Beside the display, she used sidewalk chalk to quote French artist Henri Matisse’s famous line, “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” Dickson told the Post-Gazette the recycling can project was particularly inspired because the already-cut flowers — from supplier BW Wholesale Florist in the Strip District — would have been thrown away had she not repurposed them. If you missed any of the installations, your chances of catching one have not wilted. The pop-up displays will continue to sprout up across the city, possibly through April, Dickson says — and suggestions as to where are welcome.
