Guys, Get Your Pre-Game Going for Valentines Day! - Patch.com
Sunday, February 09, 2020Being long-stemmed, they don't absorb as much water as many other flowers," she said. "It's OK to use roses as part of a Valentine's Day bouquet. Work with your florist to create a lively mixed arrangement that incorporates other flowers with different colors and textures." Knowing the recipient's favorite color, and matching it with flowers, shows extra sincere interest that will be noticed, Deaver said. If it's a newer relationship, and you're unsure exactly what to send, a florist can put together an enticing arrangement that conveys affection without going overboard. Love is love, too - don't forget Mom and Grandma in Valentine's Day outreach. And yes, Deaver noted, it's OK for a woman to send flowers to a man. Just make them eye-catching, without being "pretty." "Order your flowers sooner to get exactly what you want," she said. "A Valentine's calendar like this doesn't happen often, so enjoy the chance to extend Valentine's week into an extra memorable time."

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
