Can flowers live through a pandemic? - liherald.com

By Alexandra Whitbeck  Flowers only last for so long after being cut. The inventories of some local florists, including those in Baldwin, Freeport and Oceanside, were greatly affected when shops were forced to close in late March because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Roses, lilies and daisies tend to live longer than hyacinths, tulips and lilacs, however, the maximum lifespan of cut flowers is still about a week with maximum care. Since Phase One of New York’s reopening plan began May 27, florists were able to open in a limited manner with hopes of restocking as much as possible. Face masks and a limited capacity were requirements made by New York State that Imperial Florist in Baldwin, Flowers by Mike in Oceanside and Duryea’s Flower Shop in Freeport are all following in order to continue peddling petals. Ann Marie Pierce at Imperial Florist in Baldwin has been operating her shop with only one in-store employee and one delivery driver since late May, accepting curbside and delivery orders. According to Pierce, for “at least six weeks we didn’t work at all.” Imperial Florist has recently opened its sho... https://www.liherald.com/stories/can-flowers-live-through-a-pandemic,126506?

Gardening: Succulents not only save water and money, but offer other benefits - OCRegister

Today, approximately one-third of the 1,500 plants currently grown are in the succulent category. This fact was revealed by Randy Baldwin, manager of the nursery since its inception, at a recent celebratory gathering at the wholesale nursery’s Santa Barbara growing grounds.The proliferation of succulents among the nursery’s selections may be attributed to a number of factors, but the long periods of drought in California over the past four decades is foremost among them. During this time, many municipalities have resorted to water rationing that makes the planting of lawns, for example, which need almost daily irrigation during the summer to stay lush, problematic. When lawns are removed, succulents — many of which are quite parsimonious when it comes to water consumption — are often called upon to fill the void.There are other reasons which explain why succulents have become the preference of many. Their slow growth means maintenance is less intense than in a garden of more traditional plant fare. Thus, a weekly gardening service is no longer required and the gardener’s monthly service fee is saved. Since there is no mowing and less pruning in a succ... https://www.ocregister.com/gardening-succulents-not-only-save-water-and-money-but-offer-other-benefits

Thieves target beach enclave’s valuable flowers - The Mercury News

LA SELVA BEACH— A rash of flower thefts has been reported in recent days in a Santa Cruz County beach community.Four camellia bushes have been plundered along Playa Boulevard, said Sgt. Dee Baldwin, the Santa Cruz County sheriff’s spokesman.Whole branches have been removed, valued at $60 to $80, Baldwin said: “They are cutting the part of the tree that can propagate new plants.”Two years ago, similar thefts were reported in San Jose’s Willow Glen neighborhood.Commenting on the earlier case, Don Bergamini, president of the Northern California Camellia Society, said the flowers are expensive because the bushes grow slowly. A large plant in the ground could go for $200 to $400, he said.A San Jose woman whose camellia bush was hacked speculated that the culprit might be an unscrupulous florist looking to make a quick buck or a desperate bride seeking free foliage for wedding arrangements.
