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.

This is a picture of our shop, it was taken July 9, 2009. We are on a brick street that gives old time charm to the shop. Originally, the shop was also the owner's home. They lived upstairs, while the business was located downstairs. As the years went by, they expanded the shop. Our display cooler was originally bought in the 1930's when the shop was moved to this location. The current owners have had the business since 1985. I have been working here since 1992. Stop in and see us sometime :)

These are today's favorite arrangements. These boots are so nice with fresh flowers added. They really fit some people and their western themes. It has lillies, with lots of different greenery and fillers. The top arrangement is a new variety we are trying. It has all tropical flowers. Including ginger, tube roses, bird of paradise, splash orchids, eucalyptis, and other fillers. It is about 3' tall in a glass cylinder vase. I think it is one of the most beautiful bokays. One thing is certain about the floral industry, you never know what the next customer might ask you to design :)

Everyone have a wonderful holiday. Remember what our flag stands for, and all the sacrifices made for us. We have had a great week at The Flower Box. Gearing up for a wonderful holiday weekend. Fireworks, watermelon, friends, and family. We will be closed Sat and Sun to enjoy time away. Have a great weekend!!!!

My favorite bokay tdy

We received new flowers tdy, and I had fun making fresh arrangements. It's always exciting to open the boxes to see what colors we were sent. This bokay has spray roses, alstromeria lillies, splash orchids, and 3 different fillers. I put it in a cut glass cube. At our shop, we try to use bright colors and make the arrangements as cheerful and happy as we can.
