Sunday, February 09, 2020Flowers of Point Loma at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd. is celebrating 35 years. The full-service florist shop now owned by Penn Bryan has lasted 35 years in Point Loma by customizing its business to meet its customers’ needs.“We were looking to find a flower stand to start out, and saw that the flower shop on the corner was up for sale,” said Bryan of how she and her husband acquired the business, Flowers of Point Loma, now at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd., from a retiring brother-sister team who’d had it since 1985.“I found my niche doing things that people wanted,” noted Bryan. “No other flower shops do what we do here.”The previous owners stayed with the Bryans for a year to help transition them into the floral business. That was good, added Penn, pointing out she had no previous experience with flowers.“I wanted to have kids and take them where I work,” Bryan said. “My daughter grew up in this flower shop.”Bryan fulfills her customer’s expectations, whatever they are. “They can make up their own bouquets or we can make it for them,” she said. “We’ve been here so long and people k... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27692651/article-Flowers-of-Point-Loma-still-blooms-after-35-years--?instance=business
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. "Once we know where this is going, then we're going to try to look fo... https://patch.com/pennsylvania/yardley/marrazos-florist-move-if-lmt-development-approved-report
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
Richard Rico | Flora, & a perfect fit - Vacaville Reporter
Sunday, February 09, 2020THE 63-year flower cottage next to McCune Garden Chapel on Main St. is in full bloom again. Stems made it happen. After 9 years on Merchant Street, owner Caryn Mikich uprooted Stems Florist to go downtown, taking her flora and her 8 creative makers of bouquets, nosegays and rose sprays with her. The new Stems opened Jan. 21. “I always wanted to be downtown,” Caryn said in her budding shop, “but didn’t want to overcrowd the floral field.” But it’s clear now that this is where she should be. It’s in her DNA. “My family was always into gardening; we didn’t own a shop, but flowers were in our lives.” As fate would have it, Caryn worked six years for former Rose Florist owner, Janet Lopez Balcom, who retired a year ago after 62 years of Lopez ownership. Caryn has a history of decorating lives, events and nonprofits all over the city and county. Floral touches on the Merriment on Main stage were her gift.The cottage was built in 1938 by Del and Elizabeth McCune as their home the same year they bought the funeral home. They moved out in 1956, converting it to a flower shop operated by John and Rose Lopez. Barbara McCune owns the cottage and the funeral home. “I have really good vibes about the move,” Caryn said, a feeling shared by her daughter, Amanda. Does she like the florist world? “I love it!” she said. She’s a mom to Sadie, 11 and Cason, 7. Caryn’s dad, Mike, is in the pipeline industry. A grand opening is in the works, perfect time to meet Caryn, visit Stems, and chat with shop greeter, Gracie, a yellow-headed Amazon parrot. I’d like to check her DNA against Gracie, our golden pup. They might be related.The author is former publisher of The Reporter. https://www.thereporter.com/richard-rico-flora-a-perfect-fit
