Marrazzo's Florist To Move If LMT Development Approved: Report - Patch.com
Sunday, February 09, 2020LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA — Marrazzo's Manor Lane florists, a fixture in Lower Makefield, will move, but stay open, if a new residential development at its current site is approved. The Intelligencer reports that developer Cedar Crossing Investors is seeking variances to build 11 homes on about three acres of land at Marrazzo's current location, at Yardley-Morrisville and Pine Grove roads. The paper writes that the two-story townhouses would be about 2,800-2,900 square feet, with four bedrooms, according to plans filed with Lower Makefield Township. The development would be at the site of the third-generation Marrazzo's, which was established in 1947 in the Manor Lane section of Morrisville. It moved to its current location, the site of an existing nursery, in 1984, according to the paper. Mike Marrazzo told The Intelligencer that there's a deal in place to sell the land. If Lower Makefield approves the development, the family business will relocate nearby, he said.

Gardening: The days and nights of blooming chrysanthemums - OCRegister
Sunday, February 09, 2020You 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
Keep Your Valentine Flowers Looking Their Best - TAPinto.net
Sunday, February 09, 2020Or add a few roses to your bouquet of other colorful flowers. Once you make your selection, ask the florist to include a packet of floral preservative and wrap your flowers. This protects them from extreme temperatures and jostling during the ride home.Extend the life of your floral gift with a few key steps before placing the flowers in a vase.Remove the lower leaves, so just the leafless stems are sitting in the water. This minimizes bacterial growth that can shorten the vase life of cut flowers. Recut the stems and arrange your blossoms in a clean vase filled with fresh water and floral preservative. Cutting the stems on an angle increases the amount of exposed surface area to absorb water. Change the water, clean the vase if needed, recut the stems and add floral preservative every two to three days. Remove any flowers that have faded to keep your arrangement looking its best. Doing this can double the life of your cut flowers.Further extend the vase life of cut flowers by displaying them in a cool, draft-free location. Or move them to a cooler spot at night and back in a prominent spot during the day.Even if you do everything right, roses sometimes bend or droop at the neck and disappoint. This can happen if they have not received enough water at some point between harvest and your vase.Fortunately, there is a way to revive roses. Remove the roses from the vase. Recut the stems and submerge the whole rose – stem, leaves, flowers and all – in a sink or tub of warm water. Leave the roses submerged for 30 minutes.Clean and refill the vase with fresh water and a bit of floral preservative. Recut the stems on a slant, underwater if possible, and place the roses back in the vase. You will have perky fresh roses to enjoy for a week or more.And pick up an additional bouquet for yourself. Fresh flowers are a great way to brighten your home and lift your spirits.Melinda Myers has written numerous books, including Small Space Gardening.

Barronelle Stutzman, Christian florist, again appeals to Supreme Court over same-sex wedding refusal - Washington Times
Sunday, February 09, 2020A Christian florist who refused to participate in a same-sex wedding has again requested that the Supreme Court take her case, filing a new petition Wednesday. Washington state’s Supreme Court ruled against Barronelle Stutzman in June after the high court previously remanded her case for further review following its decision in a 2018 case, ruling for a Christian baker that had also refused to create a cake for a same-sex wedding. In the baker’s case, the justices said the state’s civil rights commission showed religious hostility towards the cake maker, but the high court punted on squarely settling the First Amendment conflict. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/sep/11/barronelle-stutzman-christian-florist-again-appeal/
