What makes this 50-year-old floral business different from the rest - MyDaytonDailyNews

Tucked away inside a small building on Far Hills Avenue in Centerville is a floral shop that focuses on the unique. Far Hills Florist has been serving the Dayton and Centerville communities for more than 50 years.“It was my husband’s (Jeff) father’s business,” said Barbara Schneider, an owner of Far Hill Florist along with her husband, who officially bought the business from his dad in 1995. “Today we offer the best, highest quality flowers at the onset and created styles that are unique and different.”Barbara and Jeff are “artisan” florists and prefer to work with flowers that most people wouldn’t think of as long lasting.“We tend to create in two drastically different styles,” Schneider said. “The English Garden style uses a lot of different types of plant materials and we like the French Compact style, which we tend to do more than anything else.”These styles lend themselves well to square cubes and Barbara said they line their vases with leaves to create more interest.“It’s the care of the flowers that makes them last,” Schneider said. “We... http://www.mydaytondailynews.com/lifestyles/what-makes-this-year-old-floral-business-different-from-the-rest/eSUI2ydLwcjwr3c2TjYCyK/

Riker Lynch and Savannah Latimer's Fall Wedding in Utah - Brides.com

After five months of planning and thousands of votes cast, everything was officially revealed on September 20, 2019, when Savannah and Riker married at the Montage Deer Valley in Park City, Utah.Perhaps unsurprisingly, Brides readers did a great job choosing the day's details, ultimately selecting a stunning color palette for the design, a classic tux for the groom, and a glamorous ball gown for the bride. Everything coordinated with the mountain setting and (unexpected!) early-fall snowfall, but the day was not just perfectly curated. It was a real wedding, and it was tailored to the couple as well: Savannah and Riker wrote their own vows; a close friend officiated the ceremony; and friends and family (and the groom!) performed at the reception.Photo by Lucy CuneoThe couple invited 101 guests to Deer Valley and worked with Cecile's Paper Co. to set the set the tone for a chic mountain wedding. They first did this with the invitation suite, which featured a rich emerald green lining alongside a custom logo that was woven through the day-of signage and welcome bags. Photo by Lucy CuneoPhoto by Lucy CuneoUtah-based florist Sarah Winward was on hand to create a romantic, seasonal setting—even after snow forced everything indoors. Despite the venue change, the décor still felt natural to the setting thanks to Sarah Winward, who incorporated foraged grasses in every design element from the ceremony aisle to the bridal bouquet. Boutonnieres were made with sage, ferns, and pepper grass, while the bridesmaids' bouquets were made with lisianthus and dried peppergrass.Photo by Lucy CuneoPhoto by Lucy CuneoSavannah got ready with her bridesmaids, who all dressed in matching lace robes and toasted with Rosa Regale sparkling wine.Photo by... https://www.brides.com/riker-lynch-savannah-latimer-wedding-montage-deer-valley-4771151

Brookfield florist marks 20th anniversary | Articles | News - Riverside Brookfield Landmark

LeClere. The impetus to start her career as a retail florist had its roots in Osco's decision in 1998 to move its corporate office from Oak Brook to Salt Lake City. With a move to Utah out of the question, LeClere took advantage of Osco's policy of paying tuition for employees who wanted to further their educations.  She signed up to attend the American Floral Art School in Chicago and got hands-on experience working at a flower shop in Berwyn. One year later, she and her husband Paul took the leap, buying the former Ardon's Flower Shop on Broadway Avenue. LeClere said she had eyed a store in Western Springs but was convinced by her husband that Brookfield was the right place for the new family business. After all, the LeCleres had lived in the village for almost 30 years at the time. Paul, who died in 2009, worked for the Burlington Northern Railroad and served as a village trustee. They also scouted locations on Ogden Avenue but found a home instead near Eight Corners. "I like the area," LeClere said of her business' longtime home. "Ogden Avenue wasn't as warm a feeling as we have over here." At first, business wasn't driven so much by flowers as it was by Beanie Babies, which were a phenomenon at the time. "I told Paul, 'I don't think I'll ever sell flowers,'" LeClere said of the store's early days. But the Beanie Baby craze waned and the flower shop's customer base began to grow, thanks in large part to word of mouth and connections the store made through family and friends. "You've got to talk to everybody," LeClere said. "It's just funny, once you start talking, one thing leads... http://www.rblandmark.com/News/Articles/12-4-2018/Brookfield-florist-marks-20th-anniversary/

California succulent smugglers plant poachers seed Asia desire for dudleya

Dudleya are native to the west coast of North America, from Oregon to Baja California, with a couple of species in Arizona, one of which also grows in Nevada and Utah,” says Stephen McCabe, emeritus director of research at the Arboretum at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “Some are common and a great number of the species are rare.”The more rare the plant the more covetous the collector, and some dudleya are extremely scarce indeed. “A few of the rarest species could be devastated or driven to extinction in a day or two,” says McCabe.It was perplexing, then, that the plants targeted by poachers in Northern California were so commonly found. But while Dudleya farinosa – also known as “bluff lettuce”, “powdery liveforever” (owing to the leaves’ dusty appearance) or simply “liveforever” – may be unexceptional, the squat plants boast a geometric beauty reminiscent to some of the blossom of a lotus flower. In bloom, they sprout proud stalks, decked in clusters of small yellow flowers.And dudleya, it is argued, have character, surviving – even flourishing – in some of California’s least hospitable environments. They earned the moniker “liveforever” due to their ability to survive, in the right conditions, for more than a year with no fresh water, and dudleya sprout from rocky seaside cliffs, hanging on while battered by extreme weather and waves, so helping to secure the cliffs against erosion.What’s more, they are vital to California’s delicate coastal ecosystem.“Bees, flies, hummingbirds, butterflies, bumblebees, swallowtails and other creatures have been observed visiting the flowers,” explains McCabe, which are in turn eaten by birds. Mice, rabbits, deer and probably rats eat various plant parts. In some of the places where they occur, the dudleya are almost the only species of flowering plant present, but there are many insects around, so they are integral parts of some small or tiny ecosystems.”Still, dudleya did not seem a realistic candidate for theft, and they are delicate when taken from their natural environment. “D. farinosa, may grow in special greenhouses … but a great portion of them will die as house plants,” says McCabe. “They are very susceptible to fungus problems if it’s both hot and humid at the same time, particularly in summer. This means they are not well suited to the southeastern US and to the warm, humid parts of Asia.”And they are especially unsuited for travel. “A day in a plastic bag in a hot car will do them,” McCabe adds.Why greenery is in for interior decor in 2018, and how to pick plantsFreeling had a hunch that something big was afoot, but his colleagues dismissed the episode as simply the oddball antics of a few plant-loving eccentrics. Everyone knew that succulents were a hot trend in the US. Potted succulents had become de rigueur house-warming gifts and Instagram was awash with close-ups of the plants. Memes such as “millennial interior design bingo” inevita... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/long-reads/article/2163157/californias-succulent-smugglers-plant-poachers
