Hello Everyone! Spring has arrived this past Thursday (or so the calendar says.) It's been rather chilly and last night the weather forecast called for snow, though I didn't see any. The wind has been howling for a few days, March is drawing to a close and it seems it's still roaring like a lion. But, we know it must be spring because next door to us there are thousands of daffodils blooming under the budding trees. We have heard stories about how they got there but we haven't heard a definite story. If any of you reading this can fill us in, post it or let us know.
We received a shipment of bulb plants consisting of, Tulips, Daffodils, Mini Daffodils, Hyacinth and Grape Hyacinth, and we've been busy arranging them into nice gift baskets for Easter. A lot of you have come in to buy these Blooming Plant Baskets and we greatly appreciate it.
We also received a shipment of Hydrangea, Trailing Jasmine, English Ivy and, the much requested, Gardenia Plant. Yes we finally have it in. Our greenhouse smells lovely this time of year. We opened the greenhouse last week after a cold winter. Everything is green and blooming, and the fish in our pond our becoming more active as the temperature climbs. Stop by and see our 2 year old Koi. He's a beautiful little guy, all white. We also have a Shubunkin in there to keep him company.
I learned to appreciate flowers, and all things that grow in general, from my father, as did he from his father. After seeing his love of putting together forms and colors into a beautiful arrangement, it seemed to me like it was an unattainable skill. As I grew I watched him and his love of flowers grew in me, and I realized that this skill only comes after you learn to be in love with the process. We strive for excellence in floral arranging, choosing color and form combinations that enhance the natural beauty of flowers. I think I speak for my father and myself when I say we are happy to share our joy and appreciation of things that grow with you. Bringing forms from the natural world, into your home can lift up your spirits.
We thank you for your patronage, without which we wouldn't be able to do what we love.
From all of us at The Flower Shoppe, Ltd.
