I graduated over a decade ago, and I am starting to feel "old" and "out-of-touch" with the kids these days. I remember when it was a corsage for a wrist or a boutonniere to pin on a chest. Now it has evolved to bouquets that are simply for a "insta-worthy" photo op! These are typically used for the cap and gown day, unlike the corsage and boutonniere that are used for the dinner/banquet/dance portion of graduation. As long as the flowers are taken home, given a fresh cut and

Many people come in or call and ask if we have daisies every week! But there are different things that each person means. Some mean gerbera daisy (seen in the photo to the left), some mean daisy chrysanthemums, some mean chamomile, which is part of the Asteraceae family (and looks almost identical to a shasta daisy, which is also part of the Asteraceae family). We carry gerbera daisy and chrysanthemums year-round. The gerbera come in the daisy style, as well as pomponi and pi

Back in early March, I went on a cruise with my massage therapist. Some time last year she said "I could really use a trip to Mexico or something" and so I said to her "My friend is a travel agent and told me about this great deal he has on a cruise coming up...want to come with me?". And off we went on an adventure sorted by my friend Terry the Travel Guy that started in Puerto Rico, stopped in Aruba, Curacao, and the British Virgin Islands. Terry took care of booking the

This Easter I wanted to pop on here and share some information about flowers that are popular this time of year. Some hot ones are lilies, tulips, iris, hyacinth and daffodils. I have a past blog post ALL about spring flowers specifically if you want to read more here . It is mostly about tulips and daffodils, and why they should not be placed in the same vase together. Today I wanted to talk a little more about lilies, hyacinth and iris! Lilies and iris are generally found

Who knew that there were different lengths of roses and that this makes the size of the flower heads differ? When I started my own shop and began to order my own flowers, I found this out quickly! While ordering online, different wholesales offer different lengths of roses. I have seen up to 100 cm length roses before, but for this purpose, I am just going to talk about 40 cm, 50 cm and 60 cm roses. The 40 cm roses are quite short stems, quite small flower heads. These are t

Hello everyone! It has been a while since I have written a new blog post. For the upcoming holiday season I will be doing a collaboration with another local business – ABD Naturals. I recently met the owner Sawsen at a charity event, where we had clicked and I had told her I would love to come visit her business. She has a lovely spot in St. Albert Centre where she creates her all natural products without all of the preservatives and other harmful things. We had talked for

Poinsettia plants are actually native to Mexico and Central America, but they are commonly gifted and seen as a popular Christmas floral in North America. Due to being native to a warmer climate, poinsettia can be sensitive to the cold. There is a misconception that you can bring them outside when you buy them at a grocery store, right to your car. But this can risk freezing/shocking the plant. "In today's language of flowers poinsettias symbolize good cheer and success and
