Tallahassee's florist to the Legislature - Florida Politics

Elinor Doyle.Just to be clear, there was an Elinor Doyle, who started the business in 1926, but she has been dead for nearly half a century. Her picture, however, hangs in the Tennessee Street storefront, keeping watch over owner Roxie Anne Clark and Liz Santini (who has worked there for 23 years) who will be preparing hundreds of arrangements before the Session starts Tuesday.A deluge of work after a busy Christmas season because of the even-year early Session isn’t a particularly unique challenge, Clark said.“We are coming out of the holiday season, but it’s not necessarily any worse than having it a little after Valentine’s Day, so it’s kind of the same thing,” she commented.Valentine’s Day is the No. 1 busiest day of their year, but at Elinor Doyle Florist, the start of Session is definitely No. 2. The team will work long hours over the weekend before Session begins to assure their flowers arrive in peak form. They’ll start with dish gardens, which will get a colorful addition of red mini carnations and white cushion mums right before delivery Monday. (An aside to the aides: Those gardens will last throughout Session if they’re watered weekly and kept in a not-too-sunny spot.)Florida’s chiropractors will again be gifting each member of the House and Senate with sunflowers.

Storm said. “We also dropped some flowers off at the front and at the nurse’s stations.”That represented a day of giving by the Tennessee Teleflora Unit, of which Storm is a member and Teleflora annually donates to service providers, including senior healthcare centers, police stations, fire stations and other members of the institutions of public service.“We have a Tennessee Teleflora Unit,” Storm said. “I’m a member and every year we donate flowers and that has to be in the service industry.”But providing service is nothing new for Abloom Florist, a company that prides itself on exemplary customer service.The company provides floral arrangements for weddings, funerals, parties and other events and Storm said that customer service is a key to the company’s success. Roy and Hazel Drinnen have owned the business since 1983. Hazel works in the shop and Roy runs daily errands to the post office.“We wanted to be a florist who brought something a little bit different,” Storm said. “There are a lot of florists in Knoxville and we’ve always prided ourselves on our customer service.“My parents pretty much bought the business and I went to work in it. We’ve prided ourselves on being a little bit different.”Storm also said that her work brings her plenty of rewards.“This is very rewarding to me because everybody likes to get flowers,” she said. “Even with funerals, the people are always pleased because we help them do what they want to remember their loved one.”... http://knoxfocus.com/archives/this-weeks-focus/abloom-florist-donates-flowers-shannondale-healthcare-center/
