Roses — in full bloom - Financial Times

Backstage at Prada AW19Alexander McQueen’s creative director Sarah Burton took her design team back to her native northern England, where in the 1400s, the houses of York and Lancaster battled for the throne of England. (It was later known as the Wars of the Roses because of the rose badges used by the two sides — red for Lancastrians, white for Yorkists.)Roses appear lavishly throughout the collection; as prints on double duchess satin dresses, elsewhere embroidered on a bustier in blue silk jacquard. A black corset dress is edged with laser-cut roses; frilled high-necked knit dresses recall those worn in the Rose Queen pageants of the north. A “lust red” corset dress with sweetheart neckline has a twisted leather rose draped on the front that creates an asymmetric volume, directly referencing the emblematic Red Rose of Lancaster. The red is worn, in the brand’s current advertising campaign, by Kate Moss — surely the definitive modern... https://www.ft.com/content/9a85adf0-a23b-11e9-a282-2df48f366f7d

Why this Kamloops flower shop is handing out 500 free bouquets today - iNFOnews

Alanna Gobkes says this is the first year the company has participated and notes they are one of four stores in Canada handing out free flowers. She says there are two floral shops participating in Ontario and one in Manitoba. The annual event is organized by the Society of American Florists, and she hopes to see more Canadian participation in the coming years. “There are quite a few flower shops down in the States that are taking part in it but nobody up in Canada has really caught on so we thought it would be a great opportunity for us to sort of spread it around and let people know that Petal It Forward can be a great thing for communities,” Gobkes says. Volunteers and employees have already handed out almost 200 bouquets to people at the Royal Inland Hospital and downtown on Victoria Street today. “It’s not a promotion and we’re not accepting any donations,” Gobkes says. “This is a great opportunity to spread some positive emotions and connections between people.” Gobkes estimates the bouquets cost about $5 each to make and are comprised of a carnation, mini carnation or eryngium thistle, filler and a sprig of greenery. “They’re not huge, but they’re bright and cheery. It’s something nice to put on your desk or next to your bedside table. It’s always nice to wake up and smell fresh flowers in your room,” Gobkes says. “It makes you wake up with a smile on your face.” Recipients are given two bouquets and encouraged to give one away to a stranger or loved one, which Gobkes says helps create community connectivity. “The idea behind this is to make someone feel good that you don’t know, its connecting people,” Gobkes says. “People are willing to put themselves out there a little bit and put a smile on a stranger’s face.” You can find the volunteers downtown and at the Royal Inland Hospital. They'll be at the Aberdeen Mall later this afternoon.Credit: FACEBOOK / Kamloops Florist ... https://infotel.ca/newsitem/why-this-kamloops-flower-shop-is-handing-out-500-free-bouquets-today/it66965

If the poinsettias are ready, can Christmas be far behind? - Montreal Gazette

Those that are ready are being packed and loaded onto trucks destined for Quebec big-box stores including Provigo, Maxi, Home Depot and counterparts in Ontario — and the rest will follow in the weeks ahead.Among their employees are seasonal workers from Guatemala and Mexico.John Kenney / Montreal GazetteThe poinsettia (botanical name Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a perennial flowering shrub native to Mexico; in its natural habitat it can grow to three metres or taller. It blooms in November and December as the days grow shorter and the nights lengthen. What most people think of as its flowers are, in fact, modified leaves called bracts. The poinsettia’s true flowers are an unassuming cluster of yellowish orbs at the base of the bracts.The plant owes its English name to Joel Roberts Poinsett, United States ambassador to Mexico from 1825 to 1829. An avid amateur botanist, he saw euphorbias with red bracts growing wild in the hills around Taxco and had samples sent to his South Carolina home. There he propagated them in his greenhouses and gave them to friends and botanical gardens.
