Flower industry concerned about bloom imports and biosecurity fights for Australian-made labelling - ABC News
Monday, August 24, 2020Australian Grown Flowers," Mr Russo said.He said that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) had already approved the label.Florists looking local Australian flower growers created the registered trademark, Australian Grown Flowers, in December 2018.(Supplied)Mr Russo said a "growing number" of florists had since chosen to use the label because they believed customers were becoming "more concerned about where their flowers are coming from".Each year, Australia imports millions of flower stems — mainly roses, chrysanthemums and carnations — from countries such as Kenya, Ecuador, Colombia and Malaysia. Those imports are sold everywhere from supermarkets to florists and petrol stations.National farm lobby groups and many growers are concerned about the number of flowers found with foreign pests and diseases when they arrive in Australia. But the Federal Department of Agriculture said those numbers had decreased and that no pests or diseases from imported flowers had made it past quarantine inspectors. The ABC understands the Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud has written to the Federal Industry Minister, Karen Andrews, asking for country of origin labelling to be made compulsory for imported flowers. The government is reviewing country of origin labelling, and is considering what other products it should be compulsory for.

A Floral Designer Who Forages in the Hills of Malibu - The New York Times
Monday, August 24, 2020Indeed, Moreno-Bunge is part of a new wave of designers — among them the Berlin-based studio Mary Lennox and the New York-based Joshua Werber — for whom the term florist seems too narrow a definition; they’re artists who not only confirm the obvious appeal of blooms but also reveal the magnificence of their landscapes’ less flamboyant elements: leaves, vegetables, seedpods, weeds and humble grasses.The florist creates a wild, sculptural arrangement of plants including golden rain tree, oats, artichoke flowers and green persimmons.CreditCredit...Scott J. RossThis approach has made Isa Isa — Moreno-Bunge’s five-year-old floral design business, which creates effervescent, naturalistic arrangements and installations — the studio of choice for many of L.A.’s most interesting brands. Visitors to the Chinatown store of the clothing label Eckhaus Latta in 2018 might have noticed a single, ethereal white Iceland poppy emerging from a dense green cluster of beadlike dates, slatted areca palm leaves and the drooping, fist-size fruit of the silk floss tree, arranged by Moreno-Bunge in a pitcher on a table of accessories. More recently, she displayed three green tromboncino squash, coiled like snakes, alongside bouquets of black tomatoes, olive branches and unripened persimmons and lemons, at the women’s clothing boutique Shaina Mote in Highland Park.

Local Rose Challenge provides medical masks for China - Oxford Observer
Monday, August 24, 2020Oxford Flower and Gift Shop. The Chinese Information Association raised money to buy the masks by selling bouquets of Valentine’s Day roses and gypsophila. The Roses, ordered through a local florist, were awaiting delivery late Thursday. Photo by Ziyi Ma.?“It is an activity to let girls know that they were beautiful and had the intention of making them more confident,” said Weimiao Sun, the vice president of the society.For the Rose Challenge event, the CIA decided to buy 50 red roses, 30 carnations and two bunches of gypsophila.As of Thursday, China has more than 59,000 confirmed cases and 1,368 deaths from the virus. To curb the spread of the virus, the Chinese government has been strongly suggesting, and in some cases making it mandatory for citizens to wear masks when they are outdoors.According to the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, disposable medical masks are for self-protection. Citizens could wear them when they are in public and in densely populated places. Particle protective masks and medical protective masks like N95 are for medical staff providing emergency services, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The airborne virus can be spread through tiny droplets of moisture released when an infected person coughs or sneezes. There has been a surge in the demand for N95 masks since the coronavirus outbreak. It is widely believed the N95 masks can be effective in preventing infection. It can filter at least 95% of airborne particles. The National Health Commission in China said the discrepancy between the demand and supply of medical needs is still very prominent, especially in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, in Hubei Province. Xiaogan is a city of more than 4 million people, located in the northeast of Hubei Province. It is near Wuhan, where the outbreak is believed to have started. As of Thursday, 2,874 confirmed cases with 49 deaths had been reported in Xiaogan. After the Rose Challenge, the Miami Chinese Information Association will send out masks near Feb. 16. It is estimated it will take about five to seven days for them to reach XiaoGan First People’s Hospital, Ma said. “The reason we chose the XiaoGan First People’s Hospital is because it is a place with a severe epidemic in Wuhan, which is in urgent need of medical supplies, and (a friend of local association members) once donated a batch of masks to that hospital, and then knew the hospital’s responsible person, which can ensure our transportation transparency and safety,” Ma said.According to Chinese medical professionals, the surgical masks and protective masks are disposable items and cannot be reused. Groups in other countries also have been donating medical supplies to help in the emergency.?... https://oxfordobserver.org/1168/miami/local-rose-challenge-provides-medical-masks-for-china/
