Well, well, well- The 4th of July is now over. All of us here had a sweet and patriotically celebrated weekend, and we’re just getting back to the hustle and bustle of the biz. And with the hustle, we’ve got a variety of flower cooler [our version of water cooler (smells better)] topics buzzing around our design studio, and I’ve taken the liberty to translate them into the language of flowers.
Yazmin was thoroughly amazed by the fireworks last night at Sandburg in Coon Rapids. She says that she had actually gotten up to leave after what she thought was the finale, only to be delighted to an additional 20 minutes of a dazzling display. An extra happy Fourth of July to you City of Coon Rapids! We appreciate the extra effort! She’s been working a lot more with carnations (flower meaning: fascination, distinction, love) today. **Additional note from the blogger: The fireworks in Champlin kept me awake for awhile longer than I expected too. Just playin’ the party-pooper**
I, Rachel the delivery driver extraordinaire, novice dish garden designer and sometime blogger, am talking all about the recent UFA trades in the NHL. Oh, the drama! Jaromir Jagr returns to the league after a stint in the Russian Super League and who does he sign with? THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS?!! Whoa, I bet there are a lot of Pittsburgh Penguins fans wanting to send Jagr yellow roses (flower meaning: betrayal), amongst other things. Pens fans might as well order a yellow rose or two for Maxime Talbot while they’re at it, as he also signed a long-term deal with the other Pennsylvania hockey club. Yellow roses can also mean: friendship, jealousy, infidelity, or apology, a broken heart, intense emotion, dying love- so don’t be afraid to order a lovely arrangement with yellow roses . All of us Minnesota Wild fans wanting, nay, needing something to look forward to, can think Stars of Bethlehem Hyacinth (meaning:hope) with the signing of Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi. I can’t wait to see what happens- obviously, I’m thinking hockey in July.
Melissa, our supreme floral designer, has been talking all about the Casey Anthony trial. She gives us all updates and is anxiously awaiting the verdict now that the jury is in deliberation. No matter the outcome, Marigolds (meaning: pain and grief) seem only appropriate.
The boss-man Steve continues to go fishing in Minnesota and relaying his adventures to us ladies at the shop. Can’t remember what happened this weekend but I think he did catch some fish. Sorry Steve, take some Belles of Ireland with you next time (meaning: luck).
