Notice the extraordinary.

In this day and age of texting and emailing, it is easy to forget the power of sending flowers to someone who is ailing or to someone who has lost a loved one.   I often get asked what is the best flower to send to a loved one during times of hardship.  I always recommend the rose, Free Spirit. Free Spirit Rose exudes an ephemeral beauty that mirrors the beauty of life and beyond.  Of course, there are many beautiful flowers to send. White Double Lilies, White Peonies, Yellow Cubana Roses, etc....Spreading beauty, love and compassion through your circle of friends...

Winter is an exciting time in the flower world.  Oriental Lilies , Amaryllis, Hyacinth and Tulips are all in season.  When it is dark and cold outside, it is such a delight to fill the home with bright colors, soft scents (lilies, hyacinth, roses) and lively shapes.  Cultivars Season's Best Subscription is a great way to experience the beauty of the changing seasons.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the 28th Street Flower Market in New York City and it impressed me, as always. Peonies, poppies, roses, lilies and flowering branches are all in season. The street was filled with blooming bedding plants and vibrant green boxwoods.  The wholesale shops were filled with life. On your next trip to New York City, be sure to get up early and make your way to 28th Street and 6th Avenue. It is a treat.                                            ...
