Memorial Day Plant
23 May 2012 Leave a Comment
Each year we venture out to the local cemeteries this time of the year and pray for good weather! That is because we fill around 90 Urns each year for customers who are unable to or don’t wish to fill their Loved Ones Urns for “Decoration” Day, otherwise known as Memorial Day to us laymen. The hardiest of plants to use for cemetery sites is geraniums. These plants do well in the heat and wind and rain….they can tolerate most weather conditions which is good because these sites are not maintained daily. In most cases they are maintained weekly or maybe even never after the initial planting. They may not be the cheapest of the bedding plants but they are worth the additional cost. A weekly deadheading and watering and you should be good to go! They especially thrive in full sun.
Mother Nature or Nurture?

Most people would agree that Mom’s are pretty special!..and that is why once a year it is a tradition to celebrate Moms’ by giving them a special day. Although each Mom has her own individual taste in flowers, it can be agreed that nothing makes people smile like a special delivery of flowers. Whether it be a bright fresh arrangement, flowering plant, seasonal hanging basket or a basket like the one above in pastels trimmed with butterflies, Mom deserve to be remembered on this day. If you do not have the resources to send such a special delivery to your mom with a display created by “Mother Nature”, make sure to call the “Mother” who “Nutured” you.
We always work on Mother’s Day for those who need a last minute floral piece to go, but we always make sure to close up early enough so we can spend time with our Mom’s too.

Each year we scurry in the spring in order to be sure to have plenty of fresh bouquets for Dancers at the local recitals. This year are lucky enough to have been invited to service 2 of the recitals in our town. It is a great way to interact with people and watch the show. In an era of big box stores selling pre wrapped flowers it is very important that we can keep our prices affordable and be conveniently located for those who require a gift for a child or adult who has worked hard all year and put on a great performance!

It is another Mother’s Day and this year poses an unusual situation for growers and florists. Although many people like to send Mom a fresh bouquet for Mother’s Day, alot of people like to send a flowering hanging basket that will last the spring/summer season. This years hanging baskets are smaller then years past because the weather in our area has not been ideal for growing- I am told the light has not been enough and the tempuratures not hot enough. The good thing is that hanging baskets although not as mature as they usually are this time of the year will continue to grow and beautify as the spring time weather warms up. Keep them heavy with water and provide the proper sunlight and these baskets will be enjoyed for the season 2011 as in years past.

This years quick turn around time between Easter, Admin Asst Day and Mother’s poses many challenges to the florist. Displays and marketing must happen on a quick time schedule as well as making sure the fully stocked cooler and balloon stock is kept up to date and appropriate for the different occasions being celebrated. But we are up to the challenge and have been having fun creating new holiday designs for this year 2011- stop in and see or visit our website at www.bloomsflowershop.net

This is my 11th year hear at Bloom’s for Easter. It is my favorite of all the Holidays because after the long winter it is always so nice to see and smell all the signs of spring within our four walls. The bright pinks, yellows and purples are a nice change to all the white we all experienced this winter. Spring Bulbs like Tulips, Hyacinth, Daffs and Lillies are always a nice gift because if planted after enjoyment- they can be planted outdoors and enjoyed for many years to come. Happy Easter and Happy Spring everyone.
The Sweetest Season of All

Well we just came out of the Merriest season of all and now headed into the Sweetest season. Whether it is Cupid’s Ball, a Father’s Daughter Dance or Valentine’s Day people will be out looking for blossoms for their sweeties. When picking up corsages and bouts it is important to keep them refrigerated until you are ready to present them so they stay nice and crisp. If you are a traditional rose giver or receiver, it is necessary to trim boxed or wrapped Roses prior to arranging them. Every couple/three days retrim the Roses and place them in fresh water. These tips will help to ensure that your Bloom’s stay fresh. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
