It’s hardly news to anyone that prom remains one of the biggest events in a teenager’s life. These young adults, with their mass of disposable income, spend months planning the perfect evening for themselves and their prom dates.

This is where the florist can make the difference between fancy trimming and shabby accessories.

Ask the Expert: tie off daffodils?

Ask the Expert: What Is This?
I am an RE agent and a client left this plant behind when they moved. Each flower has 3 pedals which are a purplish color. The pedals close up at nite and open in the sunlight.

The women in the room with flowers produced 13% more Read the rest of this entry »
Ask the Expert: Difference between Floral and Commercial fridge
I’m in the process of starting a floral business and was wondering if you can tell me if there is a difference between a floral refrigerator and a commercial refrigerator made for food/beverage. Does the floral fridge come with something that the commercial fridge doesn’t have? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
