Master florist to the stars opens store beneath Jim Bowie Live Oak in Opelousas - The Advocate

Beneath the shade of the Jim Bowie Live Oak in Opelousas, a new floral and garden shop run by a master florist who has worked for celebrities, sports teams and high-class hotels across the Gulf South has opened its doors.Moss Floral & Garden, 133 W. Landry St., is the new labor of love for Maude Mashburn and her husband Lex Jagneaux, son of St. Landry Clerk of Court Charles Jagneaux. They recently moved from New Orleans to Opelousas to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and get closer to family. "When we saw the building, we just fell in love, and I've run flower shops all my life in New Orleans and Dallas, and I just thought downtown Opelousas could use a boutique florist," Mashburn said. "I was supposed to be retired, but I still wanted to work, but at my own pace. New Orleans was always going, but New Orleans is perfect." #block-706844 .card-panel { background-color: #e7e7e7; border-color: rgba(0,0,0,.08) } ... https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/news/business/article_054285ce-49ac-11ea-bcd6-43494a29a1c0.html

New floral shop in one of the oldest sections of Opelousas signifies revitalization - Daily World

Moss Floral and Gardens hosted a grand opening party last week at the new business inside a quaint, brick antebellum structure that, over the years, has served as law offices and the Jim Bowie Museum, which included parish artifacts in the 1960s. Lex Jagneaux estimates the building his business is in, which includes pine and cypress flooring, probably dates back to sometime around 1830, although he is still researching the exact year it was built. Next door to Moss Floral and Garden is the acclaimed Jim Bowie Oak that Lex Jagneaux estimates is more than 200 years old. Included on the side of the massive live oak tree, with root tentacles that extend far underneath the pavement, is an open, bricked courtyard that Jagneaux notes was once the floor of a blacksmith’s shop. The couple's floral business is located between the Wild Child Boutique, located in a 19th Century building, and the new Chicory’s At The Palace Café that is expected to open this month. More: New owner restoring Opelousas landmark The Palace Cafe for a new generation Jagneaux anticipates that restaurant traffic heading to the Palace Café, which opened as a family restaurant 90 years ago, will also bring customers to Moss Floral and Gardens, as well as other businesses on Landry Street. Heading east down Landry is the Back in Time restaurant, operated for many years by Wanda Juneau.

The Way It Was: Florist lives in fear of attacks of the hiccups - Texarkana Gazette

CHILD CARE CENTER USED BY 75 HERESince opening September 16, 1968, The Robison Courts Child Care Center has swelled from an enrollment of 21 to 75 children. Facilities have been added at Bowie Courts. During the first year of operation, approximately 200 children, from six weeks to six years old, have been supervised for varying lengths of time. A staff of 31 is directed by Mrs. LaVerne Williams. The center, planned to complement the Concentrated Employment program, gives mothers a safe place to leave children while preparing for paid employment.Sept. 17:TRIO TO COMPETE FOR SCHOLARSHIPPrincipal W.E. McGuire has announced that three students at Texas High School have been named semifinalists in the 1969-70 National Merit Scholarship program. The students are Corinne Clemmons, Jim Lindsey, and Philip Thomas. The 15,000 semifinalists appointed today are among the nation's most intellectually talented high school seniors. They will compete for about 3,000 Merit Scholarships to be awarded in 1970.Sept. 18:GROCERY STORE IS BURGLARIZEDFor the second time in less than a month, Twin City Grocery at 930 State Line Avenue was burglarized. Entrance to the grocery store was gained by pulling metal bars from the window on the east side of the building. August 24, some $854 was taken from one of the cash registers. A 20-year-old Texarkana, Texas, man is being held in connection with that burglary. Last night it was burglarized again with $650 being taken from one of the cash registers. Investigation is ongoing.Sept. 19:PTA NEWSEighty-two teachers were introduced by J.O. Jones, principal at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher-Association at Arkansas Senior High School. Debbie Cervini sang "His Way-Mine," for the devotional. Her accompanist was Jeannie Powers. The president, Ed Goodson, welcomed parents and teachers and conducted the business session. Approximately 150 members were present. Parents are encouraged to join.Sept. 20:FLORIST HAS HIS PROBLEMFor Walter Broome, the only thing worse than a florist with an allergy to roses is a florist with hiccups. Broome, 52, has been plagued with hiccups off and on for almost 30 years. Broome said that an attack of hiccups usually lasts about two days. When an attack begins he goes to bed and takes a pill prescribed by his doctor. He says it helps but nothing has been able to rid him of the hiccups permanently. "Four days is the longest I've ever had them at one time," Broome said in an interview. He said during the four-day attack that he lost ten pounds. He said that it's worse than pain because once the hiccups stop you always are afraid to move or burp for fear that they will come back. He developed them in the army in 1940.Sept. 21:ARABELLA HEIGHTS EXTENSION HOMEMAKERS CLUBThe club met in the home of Mrs. Carl Jenkins for their September meeting with Mrs. Grace MacKenzie, president presiding. The meeting opened with Mrs. Roy Avance, recreational leader, leading a song, "Precious Memories." The devotional, "Our Daily Bread," was by Mrs. Jenkins.

Buy THESE 10 Cut Flowers (They Last the Longest!) - StyleBlueprint

Lisianthus is one of her favorites. “Of the flowers that I routinely use, the longest-lasting showstopper is Lisianthus,” she says. “It holds beautifully.” It’s known by many names, including the “Texas bluebell” and the “poor man’s rose,” and it can last between seven and 10 days. Fair warning: It tends to be susceptible to rot if it’s sitting in unclean water, so be sure to change it out daily for the best results.SnapdragonsSarah tells us, “Snapdragons are the long-lasting cool-season winner.” In the right conditions, they can last seven to 10 days. When choosing your snapdragon stem, look for stalks that have one-third to one-half of their pods open.Top row, left to right: Calla Lilies, Snapdragons, Lisianthus; Bottom: CraspediaRELATED: How To Get Any Stain Out: Your Ultimate Stain Removal GuideAmaryllisGreg Campbell, co-owner of Garden District in Memphis, TN, says the Amaryllis is his favorite long-lasting flower choice for the winter. Native to West Africa, the Amaryllis can last more than two weeks. It’s often associated with strength because it’s tall and sturdy, and it can actually last even longer in a vase than when planted.CelosiaA summer bloom, Celosia is another top pick for Sarah. It can run the color spectrum from blood red to goldenrod, and it looks like ocean coral or something that jumped out of a Dr. Seuss story. It’s a member of the Amaranth family and sometimes lasts over two weeks.EryngoMattie Bush, owner of Amelia’s Flower Truck in Nashville, TN, is big on Eryngo. An eye-catching flowering herb, it’s bluish-purple, prickly looking, and resembles a thistle. Also referred to as Flat Sea Holly, Eryngo has an incredibly long vase life, sometimes lasting well over two weeks. We are grateful to all our sponsors:LimoniumLimonium is another one of Mattie’s choices. Also known as Sea Lavender, even though it has no relation to lavender at all, Limonium looks more fragile than it is. Often used for bouquet filler, Limonium can last one to two weeks, and it retains its color when dried out.Magnum MumsMagnum Mums round out Mattie’s top three long-lasting flowers. An oversized chrysanthemum with hundreds of petals, the beautiful bloom is an impressive flower that can last up to two weeks.RanunculusLauren is a fan of using Ranunculus for long-lasting arrangements. These beautiful flowers look like they’re crafted out of tissue paper. They resemble mini roses in bloom, making them a popular choice for wedding bouquets. They’re winter hardy, come in a variety of vivid colors, and last 10 to 12 days after being cut.Top row, left to right: Celosia, Amaryllis, Ranunculus; Bottom row, left to right: Limonium, mums, EryngoNow that you know which flowers last the longest, click here to read “Expert Tips to Make Fresh Cut Flowers Last.”**********Find more great tips that make life easier in our archives.

Small but mighty, a Washington florist battles back in the pandemic - Reuters

I really think they did a good job by not reopening too soon, because look at all the places that are having to close back down, like California, Texas,” Banks said. As the White House and Congress debate the next coronavirus relief bill, Banks said she would like more business funding and clarity on Paycheck Protection Program loans. The shop received a $75,000 loan under the program, allowing it to rehire furloughed staff. “They say it’s forgivable, but they haven’t come out with any clear-cut rules on how to make it forgivable,” Banks said. “I am on pins and needles.” Reporting by Makini Brice; Editing by Dan Burns and Richard ChangOur Standards:The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-smallbusiness/small-but-mighty-a-washington-florist-battles-back-in-the-pandemic-idUSKCN2511D6
