Okanagan florists busy during pandemic, some busier than ever | Kamloops News | iNFOnews - iNFOnews

The period around Easter and Mother’s Day is typically busy for florists, and despite current circumstances, this year is no exception. At Burnett’s Florist in Kelowna, business has been steady. “Our Easter was more busy than it usually is, and we’re hoping Mother’s Day is the same," florist Galena Clancy said. Kelowna’s Funky Petals, Harris Flower Shop in Vernon and Newell Flower Shop in Kamloops are all busy during the pandemic as well. "I think it's mostly because people are kind of communicating from a distance with flowers," Clancy said. Harris Flower Shop's Brenda Gedaschke says that many of her customers want to send flowers for birthdays, or just to cheer people up.  Florists have shifted to accommodate current public health orders, offering online ordering and contactless delivery. Harris Flower Shop has even installed an honour bar outside their store, where customers can pick up arrangements and leave money in a locked collection box. “(The honour bar) has been spectacularly well received,” said Gedaschke, adding that there has only been one customer who didn’t leave enough money for their bouquet. The real challenge during the pandemic has been getting flowers from suppliers, Gedaschke said. "At this point everything is limited,” she said. “A lot of the import stuff, up until recently, we hadn’t been able to get.” With not as many imported flowers coming into Canada, the local suppliers have had to fill in the gaps.

Florists, flower farmers dealing with fallouts from COVID-19 - CBC.ca

Farm in B.C.'s Slocan Valley gets 40 per cent of its income from weddings, all of which have been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (Hummingbird Farm/Facebook) Galena Clancy, who owns Burnett's Florist and Gifts in Kelowna, said that though retails sales are certainly down, a lot of people are using flowers to communicate with loved ones they can't visit during the COVID-19 pandemic.  "I'm seeing a lot of 'happy birthday, sorry we can't come and have a party with you' kind of vibe," Clancy said.   "Easter was really great for us. There were a lot of Easter flowers going out." By offering the ability to order flowers online, Clancy has been able to maintain some sales and minimize the number of people going to the shop. That said, Clancy said there are restrictions when it comes to bringing in flowers from international sellers and the cost of imports has increased.  "We try to stay inside of B.C. anyway. It's just better for the environment and it's better for Canada in general." "The international supply has become a huge problem," Braun said, adding that the inability for florists to get imported flowers could mean they end up closing their stores altogether. Braun is unsure of how the flower business will be impacted by the pandemic in the long run. "Some days, I feel like it's going to be better than ever because people are going to be wanting flowers ... and other days I think who knows what it's going to bring, are we going to be composting flowers?" Braun said. "It's anyone's guess at this point."... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-flower-industry-covid-19-1.5536967

JAT Petal Paint turns discarded temple flowers into timeless art

Orange (1890 ml), White (946 ml), Red (473 ml), Yellow (236 ml) and Blue (118 ml). Each packaging was intricately labelled with a design derived from temple art itself.Conceptualised by Leo Burnett Sri Lanka, and executed in partnership with Leo Burnett Toronto, the Petal Paint initiative scored an ‘8-ball’ at the network’s prestigious Global Product Committee review, and is rapidly gaining worldwide recognition.Mark Tutssel, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Leo Burnett Worldwide stated, “This revolutionary idea harnesses the power of creativity to positively impact the world. It is a wonderful example of a brand giving something back to Sri Lanka’s heritage and culture. This innovative work not only invites people to engage in a truly unique way, it also ensures the very important preservation and restoration of sacred temple art.”Also commenting on the initiative, Ven. Beragama Wimaladhama Thero, Chief Incumbent of Nawala Vimala Viharaya said, “This noble effort ensures that temple flowers, which are given with the greatest respect, have a more meaningful purpose and impact on our revered places of worship. Petal Paint breathed new life into faded flowers, enabling them to become a timeless offering. This process preserves these precious petals that are given with so much veneration, and makes them an integral part of our holy temples. The murals that were restored with Petal Paint, tell the stories of the Buddha and highlight important religious events and tenants. In their new liquid form, the petals continue to remain a heartfelt offering – but one that leaves a lasting impression.”Using the latest technology in paint manufacturing, JAT was able to produce 50 litres of paint from every 2,114 kilograms of dried flower petals. In addition to finding a meaningful way to use the discards, the initiative also helped to reduce the daily waste from temple sites across the country, keeping it out of landfills and easing the burden on garbage collectors. All in all, the entire process fused art and creativity with sustainability – whilst most importantly, preserving the reverence of the flowers.With the launch of Petal Paint, the manufacturer JAT Paints plans to restore multiple temple murals across the country. The first such restoration project was undertaken at the shrines in Sri Sudarmarama Poorana Maha Viharaya, Ganegama and Akuressa. “We created Petal Paint to give something back to Sri Lanka’s heritage and culture,” says Richa... http://www.thesundayleader.lk/2018/07/13/jat-petal-paint-turns-discarded-temple-flowers-into-timeless-art/

Some points about poinsettias - Abilene Reporter-News

As of several years ago, sales topped $60 million in the United States.The third-highest producer of this holiday favorite is Texas.Your purchases don’t just beautify your home but help support your state. I plan to tell my husband I am doing my patriotic duty when I bring mine home. I will let you know what happens.The poinsettia is native to southern Mexico. It was discovered by Dr. Joel Roberts Poinsett, an amateur botanist and the first United States ambassador to Mexico. Near the town of Taxco, Mexico, in December 1828, he was enchanted by shrubs with brilliantly colored red leaves growing by the side of the road. The cuttings he sent home became the first poinsettias introduced in the United States.The poinsettias we buy now are grown and shaped for seasonal household use, but in their native land or other tropical locations, they are small trees. They can reach heights around 12  feet and have leaves measuring 6 to 8 inches across.
