Holiday Plants Brighten the Season - Lincoln Sentinel

The poinsettia was named after Joel Robert Poinsett, an amateur botanist and the first American ambassador to Mexico. He sent some poinsettia plants home to Greenville, South Carolina in 1825. Poinsettias are now the number one potted flowering plant grown in the United States. The large colorful parts of the plant are not true flowers, they are modified leaves called `bracts’ . The true flowers are the small yellow/green buds in the center of the bracts. When choosing a poinsettia to bring home, look for tightly clustered yellow buds and crisp, bright, undamaged foliage.To read more please log in or subscribe to the digital edition https://etypeservices.com/Lincoln%20Sentinel-RepublicanID387/... https://www.lincolnsentinel.com/opinions/holiday-plants-brighten-season

Business news: Lifelong Sumter florist opens antique department next door - Sumter Item

Mediterranean area while serving in the U.S. Navy. Most of his collections since completing his military service in 1970 have been from estate auctions and antique shows across South Carolina, he said.Friends encouraged him for years to open a shop, Newton said, and around Thanksgiving last year, he finally did.His collection in the new department includes an abundance of artwork - including original oil work on canvases - porcelain items, art glass, Persian carpets, costume jewelry, Blueware, stained-glass lamps and "Gone with the Wind"-period lamps from the Victorian era, among other items.The antique department's address is 415 Broad St., and some Sumterites likely remember the location as the former Hamm's Jewelry and Goldsmith shop in the 1980s and '90s operated by Joseph Hamm, he said.Newton was a partner with Hamm in the operation.Since then, the building has served as "my storage space," he said.Newton described his new location as "a little toward the higher, better-quality end" for an antique store.He does plenty of research online before purchasing his antiques and tries to be "very reasonable" on pricing with honest and fair prices, he added. "I do a lot of research on eBay, and if I find something on there, I try to ensure the item is priced under what I can find it for on eBay," Newton said. "Then, that should be a plus for the customer because they are looking at the item here. They are not risking it getting damaged in shipment, and they are actually seeing the piece of merchandise."Antique department hours are the same as his florist shop - Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. He said he's also available by appointment... https://www.theitem.com/stories/lifelong-sumter-florist-opens-antique-department-next-door,341692
