Cyber Florists: Do You Know Where Your Delivery Is Coming From? - NBC Connecticut

Mother’s Day or any other occasion, but as more of the industry goes online it may not be clear exactly where those flowers are coming from or what you’re going to get.Brandon Patrick of Killingworth surprised his wife with the “My Sun, Moon and Stars” bouquet from Avas flowers. But what was delivered instead, was an even bigger surprise. He thought they were delivered from a Hamden florist.“She was thrilled. Then, she sent me a text with a picture of the flowers thanking me,” said Brandon Patrick.”On Avas’ website, the arrangement was supposed to include: white lilies, yellow roses, and purple miniature daisies.Patrick said his wife received pink, white, and yellow roses with pink daisies and came in a different colored vase.“It kind of quite frankly looked like somebody grabbed some flowers through it in a vase that they had and just delivered them.”In response to his complaint, Avas flowers acknowledged another local florist filled the order and apologized stating:“There are issues that we have had with them that have been addressed and dealt with.”Avas issued a $20 store credit to Patrick’s account for any further purchases.The cyber florist industry is impactin... https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Cyber-Florists-Do-You-know-Where-Your-Delivery-Is-Coming-From-509714221.html

Mobile flower bed spreads joy on streets of Auburn - The Auburn Plainsman

Several years ago, Lauryn Rodgers was talking to her husband about the idea of running a small truck to sell flowers. Her husband, Brandon Rodgers, found a truck on eBay in Tampa. He arranged to pick up the truck to start the project.“I had tossed the idea around, and two years ago he found this old truck,” Rodgers said. “I had been doing arrangements for people and fun little projects for a long time, so this became another avenue for me to share these with new people and let them have fun.” The couple fixed a green 1940 Chevy three-quarter ton stake bed truck named The Flower Bed to hold different buckets. Flowers are displayed in each of the buckets for customers to pick and craft their own personal bouquets.“I wanted to make a place that was good and happy,” Lauryn Rodgers said. “I feel like bad moods disappear when they walk up to the truck. I think flowers bring a smile to anybody’s face, so I love to bring that to people.” She isn’t trying to compete with local florists or flower shops. She just wanted to give people a fun and unique avenue to pick out their o... https://www.theplainsman.com/article/2019/10/mobile-flower-bed-spreads-joy-on-streets-of-auburn

'No regrets': Longtime Sioux Falls florist leaves legacy of success - Argus Leader

Pat always valued spending time in his community, Jean said. In addition to running his own business, he was involved in the Lions Club and helped found the South Dakota Floral Association. According to his obituary, Gustaf was also a devoted Catholic who served at Christ the King Catholic Church in Sioux Falls and later St. Mary. "One thing he always said was, 'Get out into the community. The town supports you if you support the town,'" Jean said. Although he never went to college, Gustaf valued education. He made time to teach floral design at Southeast Technical Institute for several years and would often mentor other florists, along with attending every floral convention he could find. "He was never afraid to die, but he just wasn’t quite ready to leave this party," his obituary read. Gustaf's death comes only nine days after that of his daughter Emily Gustaf, who died at age 37. Despite having a brain injury since babyhood, Emily lived a life that was "big and bold," according to her obituary. She participated in Special Olympics for many years and took home a gold medal in swimming from the 1999 International Special Olympics. "She could talk to anyone about anything," Emily's obituary read. "She was quick to love and slow to judge."   Pat Gustaf's funeral will be held at St. Mary Catholic Church on Saturday at 10:30 a.m., with visitation scheduled for Friday at 4:30 p.m. at St. Mary. Although his illness made it difficult for him to work as it progressed, Jean said Pat never wanted to slow down. When he was unable to go into the shop during rounds of chemotherapy, he set up a small studio in his home where he continued making silk bouquets for as long as he could. That dogged perseverance was what served him all his life, allowing him to continue a decades-long career in the floral business.  "That's probably his legacy: Keep trying," Jean said.  When the Argus Leader spoke with Pat as he closed up his shop last December, he said that more than anything, he was thankful for the customers who made his business the long-lasting success that it was. "I got to do what I love for 42 years," Gustaf said. "I want them to know how grateful I am – grateful from the bottom of my heart."... https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/business-journal/2019/10/31/longtime-sioux-falls-florist-leaves-legacy-success-gustafs-greenery/2501479001/
