Brotherly Love: The Happy Flower Day Project - CBS Philly

Gallagher said.Some said yes, and the Happy Flower Day Project was born.Several times a week, friendly (and anonymous) florists fill Gallagher’s car.Brotherly Love: Stroke Victim Becomes Beacon Of Hope For Patients“And then I just say, ‘God, where do you want these flowers to go to? Who needs them?'” Gallagher said. “And a thought will enter in my mind, like an AIDS hospice, a nursing home.”On this day, they’re destined for Wesley Enhanced Living in Germantown. It’s one of her favorite drop-off spots.“Annie, I met you the other day!” Gallagher said cheerfully.She delivers the bundles of bouquets personally with a smile and a song, “Happy Flower Day to You,” to the old birthday tune.“And I never give people just one,” Gallagher said.Amy Vanbrug, director of therapeutic recreation, said she remembers the first time she met Gallagher.“I’m walking down the hall and she’s like, ‘Hi, I’m Trish,’ and gave me a big hug!” Vanbrug said.Gallagher makes sure the staff gets flowers too.Brotherly Love: Camden County Man Refurbishing Old Computers, Donating Them To Students In Need“Take something home!” she said as she handed a bouquet of roses to one staffer.“The wife will love you for that,” he said.Gallagher’s mother passed away in 2014, but she kept the Happy Flower Day Project going. Her grandchildren sometimes help. She estimates she has given away 50,000 bouquets and plants.Lois Landis said, “She’s always smiling and brings the happiness out of everybody.”When Gallagher started six years ago, her car was brand new.

How a Calvin Klein designer started his own floral design business - Los Angeles Times - Los Angeles Times

Kabigting explains, adding that the company allowed its creative team and designers freedom in their day-to-day activities.“One day, my entire team might take a trip to [art museum] Dia:Beacon, and be inspired that way,” he says. “You could be taking pictures of the samples you get in, interacting with your factories overseas. Or you could literally just be cutting leather.” Advertisement Kabigting had an interest in florals and set design even before he’d come to New York — while living in a loft in downtown L.A. in 2009, he and Kasai threw parties at which they’d zip-tie branches from trees to the exposed pipe, and tie fishing line to trees so they’d appear to levitate above the guests. While at Calvin Klein, he practiced his love for arranging by giving flowers to his coworkers on their birthdays and leaving stems on people’s desks. He decided to try pursuing the flower thing in January, and by May, he’d resolved to leave his post at Calvin Klein and make FDK Florals his full-time job. Flower arrangements by Fernando Kabigting.(Jillian Sollazzo / WWD) Since then, Kabigting has created floral arrangements for Gucci’s party celebrating its tie-up with Dapper Dan and also for a pop-up in Totokaelo’s SoHo store. He has additionally teamed with Google on some of the company’s events, and works regularly with the influencer Nam Vo, who is best known for doing Kylie Jenner’s makeup. His regular gig, though, is a workshop he leads at Urban Outfitters’ Space Ninety8 in Williamsburg — where he teaches interested parties how to make arrangements and about the philosophies of ikebana.Kabigting says he has a short attention span, which might explain his tendency to jump from one line of work to the next. But he says this mind frame allows him to get creative with his arrangements, tell stories with colors and textures and make something that can be appreciated from multiple angles.“I don’t watch commercials, I can’t read a book from front page to back — I go to the back,” he says. “With movies, I’m the same way. I start from the end. Whether it’s this idea of control, or whatever it is, I like to be interested immediately. I like this idea of a beautiful, well-styled thing that is a full-on celebration, which you’re excited by. While at Calvin Klein, Fernando Kabigting practiced his love for arranging by giving flowers to his co-workers on their birthdays and leaving stems on their desks.(Jillian S... https://www.latimes.com/fashion/la-ig-wwd-calvin-klein-designer-flowers-20181218-story.html

Gardening: The days and nights of blooming chrysanthemums - OCRegister

Longwood Gardens, outside Philadelphia, and the New York Botanical Garden have succeeded in growing such chrysanthemums and, yes, they do have over 1,000 blooms, trained onto a metal dome and glittering like so many closely spaced stars.The word “chrysanthemum” is derived Greek words for gold (khrusos) and flower (anthemon). The plant was first cultivated 3500 years ago in China and two thousand years later was introduced into Japan where its likeness soon adorned the emperor’s seal. Roots, leaves, and flowers have medicinal properties.Carol Proctor, who holds a degree in ornamental horticulture from Cal Poly Pomona, had some words of wisdom following comments I made on the glorious weeping peppermint tree (Agonis flexuosa), which can live for more than a century.“This tree grows best in well-draining, sandy soil,” she wrote, “Otherwise it can be subject to root rot. Agonis flexuosa cv. After Dark is a great-looking, purple-leafed variety but struggles to thrive over time.”I would add here that Cercis canadensis cv. Forest Pansy, a redbud, is another seductive tree with purple leaves that has no business being planted in the Los Angeles area, where it invariably dies after two or three years in the ground.Bea Drake, who gardens in Mission Viejo, inquired about pruning her Leucodendron. Individual Leucodenron stems should be cut back by half to encourage new growth from below. You can place the cut pieces in a vase, making sure to remove leaves that would otherwise be submerged and then change the water every other day. You can also dry the stems, which can be used for everlasting arrangements, by hanging them upside down or standing them up in an empty bucket for three weeks. The best time to prune a Leucodendron is after it flowers in the spring.Tip of the Week: Jacqueline Franklin, who gardens in Banning, was wondering if she could grow a cherimoya tree from seeds in a store-bought fruit, realizing she would need to wait three to five years before her tree produced. Yes, you can. Soak your seeds in a bowl of water for four days. Seeds that float should be discarded. Seeds that sink should be placed in 6 inch deep pots no more than an inch below the soil surface. Soil mixture should be half peat moss and half sand. Keep seeds indoors in a room where temperatures stay between 64 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Water only to prevent desiccation of soil mix. Germination should occur in three to five weeks. https://www.ocregister.com/gardening-the-days-and-nights-of-blooming-chrysanthemums

Jessica Simpson clarifies whether Nick, Vanessa Lachey sent her a gift - Fox News

Vanessa quickly jumped in to correct Kotb. Jessica Simpson signs copies of her new book 'Open Book' at Barnes & Noble Union Square on February 04, 2020 in New York City.  (Kevin Mazur/Getty Images)"I feel bad, I’m sorry. You said somebody sent her…? because now… we… it wasn’t us,” the 39-year-old actress stammered.VANESSA LACHEY RESPONDS TO TWEET SAYING DAUGHTER WITH HUSBAND NICK LOOKS LIKE HIS EX JESSICA SIMPSONKotb then clarified her remark, noting that Simpson had said "she got something nice from you guys after, I don't remember, some moment in her life"Nick jokingly asked his wife what she sent in an accusatory tone, to which she replied: “I didn’t… I don’t know her address. Thank you whoever sent it from us!”Despite the moment seeming rather innocuous, albeit somewhat awkward, Vanessa caught some backlash online for her part in the on-air exchange. People notes she took to Twitter on Wednesday to clear things up as best she can.“Well shucks! Just lost a fan! Hope you see the truth in this. Asked about something that wasn’t true. My heart had to make sure I was honest. Would you just let it go? ;-) Always be true to you!” she responded to one fan that called her “petty.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP“Should I have pretended to give it? Dang. Can we get a do over and I will tell them it was big beautiful basket. ;-). Kidding, sorry you think that, just wanted to be truthful. That’s all. But the gift sounds lovely!” she responded to another user who called her correction “10000% not necessary” and “super awkward.”“Sorry you think that, just didn’t want to take credit for something we didn’t do. That’s all. Seems weird to ignore sending a big beautiful gift basket and taking that credit. Either way... hope you have a Beautiful day!” she noted over a third user that insisted she was throwing shade at Simpson.Fox News' Tyler McCarthy contributed this report... https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jessica-simpson-nick-vanessa-lachey-gift
