This is a few of the plants we received this week. Peace Lilly, Croton, Bromeliad, Ivy, etc. You can see how to care for these and many more plants on the Plant Care link on the right of the blog page. http://www.plantcare.com/encyclopedia/blushing-bromeliad-687.aspx This is a link straight to the page about Bromeliad. This plant is always so pretty. It comes in a few varieties, but this picture and type is the one we have most often. They are a tropical plant, but do well in Tyler if put outside when it's above freezing and kept inside in the winter. This plant link on the blog site has information on 2200 different kinds and types of plants. It also will help you find out what kind of plant you received. Enjoy!!

This is one example of a Halloween Boquet. These cute bats will make a fall arrangement come alive. They have cute smiles and are added to an arrangement that includes, carnations, spray roses, mums, and fall leaves in a nice container. We also have pumpkins, and spiders we can add to an arrangement. Just something fun for the holiday. To see other examples connect to us on Facebook. I usually publish pics on there daily. Whatever we have in the shop I think people would like to see. There is always something beautiful being created.

This is an arrangement of roses that was ordered for a lady

turning 97 years old this week. The family had a party for her and her brother was not able to attend. So, the brother sent this beautiful arrangement of roses in remembrence of all the memories they have. She was so surprised and overjoyed at recieving such a beautiful gift. It is so much fun to work in a profession that brings a smile to so many people. Everyday we get to spread a little sunshine and smiles to so many people.

Homecoming Mums

This has been a really strange week. All the schools close around have scheduled their homecomings early. As far as we know, all in September. Regina has been busy this week with garters and mums. All the schools have different colors, and every kid wants theirs to match their personality and activities they are involved in. Mums are a fun thing that is mostly done in the south. They used to be made out of fresh mums, now they are all silk. Lots of streamers, glitter, braids, bells, etc. It gives the homecoming football game almost a party atmosphere.

We recently recieved these lisianthus from the wholesaler. The Common names of Lisianthus are Prairie Gentian, Texas bluebell, Tulip gentian, Bluebells and Lira de san pedro. The name Lisianthus comes from the Greek words lysis, meaning dissolution and anthos, meaning flower. In this picture, the lisianthus are the blue bell shaped flowers.

Here is another pic with the filler. These anthuriums are great. The roses are starting to open a little. By tomorrow, they will be open and beautiful. To learn more about anthuriums go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthurium. This is a great article about where they grow, and other colors. :)

This is something David was working on Wed., it is a mixture of roses, anthurium, and snap dragons. He hasn't added the filler, I'll post another pic after he's finished. These anthuriums are beautiful! They come in a few other colors, but the red looks great with roses.
