The Territory

Working in the flower shop is an awesome privilege. However, it does come with many challenges of the seasons… especially in the cold winter of Minnesota. Delivering flowers in extreme temperatures is no small task. We are always evaluating the outside temperature to make sure our packaging is sufficient. We have to protect our flowers from getting frostbite or getting shockingly cold. Our delivery van has to be warm at all times since we’re constantly shuttling precious cargo. Afternoon deliveries can take a little longer, since night falls early we can’t see your house numbers so easily! It comes with the territory, we’re working florists ”Minnesota style”. 

Can’t avoid every woe.

We’ve come up with many strategies to deal with woes of winter which makes the bitter cold not so bad. There are a few that we need your help with still. Although the roads are covered in snow and sidewalks get pretty slippery we are determined to deliver flowers and messages of love. Recently we had a slip and fall that caused more than just a few bruises over the holidays. We’re pretty upset about it, not to mention the pain it caused our poor driver. We’re wishing her warm thoughts and a speedy recovery. Please help us by shoveling and removing slick ice  from your sidewalks for all delivery people in your neighborhood.

Despite the woes of winter, glee is all around us!

We are definitely fortunate to work with exquisite flowers in a season of which nothing much grows. Flowers are magical in their own earth-born way and their mortality is appreciated with our everlasting love for them. Life is cherished in any form especially the beautiful. We don’t even mind the sticky sap on our hands from winter greens. Pine and cedar are a few of our favorites and worth the extra effort and stickiness this time of year. So we take the bad with the good and skip around the flowers with joy. It’s always sunny at Main Floral even on a sub-zero day!

On October 30th, we’ll open our mini donut shop for the famous Halloween Parade!

Thanks to our little helpers, the first donut launch was successful and now we’re do’n it again for Anoka’s Halloween parade! Come on by to get your hot and tasty treats.

Would you like donuts with your flowers?

Unlike Valentines’s Day, variety is key. The Roses are here and pretty, but not top players. Garden flowers such as Peonies, lilies, chrysanthemums, alstroemeria, lilac, madagascar jasmine, dendrobium orchids, beronia heather, tulips, snap dragons…there’s too many to list! All of our favorite flowers are striking and the designers can’t wait to get their hands on them. so much inspiration, variety and color everywhere… Our minds explosive with ideas and imaginative compilations. 

Getting fresh flowers everyday of the week… is a work of love.

A lot of careful prep, cleaning and caring for these delicate blooms… It’s a  little like babysitting…except flowers don’t cry. We even baby talk them as if they were listening. Maybe we look a little crazy to an outsider… but being around such natural beauty can make you feel a bit delirious and silly. We still are quite serious about taking careful measures to protect them and keep them happy… and let us just say this, these little buds are always thirsty! Flower sitting is hard work indeed… but well worth it, a labor of love. There’s a lot of Jaw dropping and oohs and ahhing… It’s sometimes hard to stay on task when surrounded by such precious things. We sure wish we had more time to take snap shots.

Everyone in the flower shop is so helpful during this Mother’s Day busy time…

It really is our favorite holiday of the year. This makes our job exciting…and everyone is in such a good mood! Talk about a dream job! (well this week anyway) Our customers are also so helpful and generous during Mother’s Day Week. When it comes to buying flowers for their Mom… they simply say “Just make it gorgeous!” It’s refreshing to hear ” Just do what you do, you guys always do such a wonderful job.” instead of “How much is a dozen roses?” In return for their trust and open mindedness…we send out masterpieces. Though we have to admit, our designers can’t take all the credit. It’s the flowers that really show off… We’re just the artists with really good paint and blank canvases.  With really beautiful flowers, our art comes alive. Until this “Mom” holiday is through we’ll be taking turns singing in the flower cooler…because we’re so lucky to do what we do at Main Floral. We owe it to our loyal customers who come back again and again. Thank YOU.Our flowers go all over the Twin Cities! Call us for more delivery details or visit our delivery cities page. You may also call us if you need to wire an order to another florist out of our area. We often know which flowershops do the best work. Even though we’re busy for Mother’s Day, we’d like to invite you to stop in when you’re in Anoka. We love curious people… and now is a great time for flowershop exploration, since we have a high volume of pretty flowers to admire.

We got to thinking about gardening as a great source for food… and “oh boy” here comes Earth Day. What a great combo…We found these cool tips to share with you.

HOW TO GROW YOUR OWN POTATOES;

Step 1 — Prepare the seed potatoes.  Cut the potato into several 1-inch chunks.  Leave  an “eye” or two on each piece.  New plants will emerge from the eye.  A smaller chunk of potato encourages the plant to get busy and put down its own, strong roots, rather than live off the stored foods in the seed piece.  Air-dry for 24 hours. A tough outer layer can help resist disease.  A light dusting of sulfur powder or Bordeaux mixture can help prevent fungi.  Spuds will be fine without chemical treatments if the soil they’re planted in is dry and warm.  Research the ideal time for planting potatoes in your region.

Step 2 — Prepare the soil.  Work a trowel full of compost into a square foot of soil in a sunny, well-drained area of the garden. The soil should be loose enough for the potato to send down roots easily. Take a piece of seed potato and press it firmly into contact with the soil. Be sure the “eye” faces up.

Step 3 — Build up a 6-inch-deep mound of mulch over the potato.  Oak leaf mold is excellent for mounding.  Straw will also work. Water the mound gently to thoroughly wet the mulch. This will help it hold together.  Keep the mound evenly moist.  As the vines start to peek through the mound, begin feeding them with a half-strength foliar spray.  Use fish-emulsion or seaweed extract once a week until the flowers open, then stop feeding.  Mound additional mulch around the stems each time they’ve grown about 6 more inches.  Potatoes grow at the ends of stolons that the plant puts out wherever the stems are covered with mulch.  In time your plant will have tubers in several sizes within the mound.  If you’d like to let the potatoes mature and get larger, stop watering them after the flowers bloom. This causes the plant to start concentrating on developing the potatoes.

Valentine’s 2010

Main Floral made it through another Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Week rather.
Since Valentine’s Day fell on a Sunday this year, the busy holiday was strung out over the week earlier.  It was actually quite weird for us.  The momentum never quite led up to anything.  It was all about the momentum.  We started sending out Valentine’s Day flowers on Wednesday, it gradually increased over the next few days.  By the time Saturday came we felt like we were in the twilight zone.  Valentine’s Day hadn’t even happened yet!  By Sunday (the actual holiday) we were utterly wiped out, looking forward to a nap that would just have to wait indefinitely.

Over all, we only had a few minor problems. 

Sara goofed and gave someone an $85 dollar arrangement for $50.  At least we can say, the customer will be back.  Ann got everyone laughing when she remarked that Roni was of no help… right in front of Betsie.  I guess you just had to be there!  Everyone here knows how funny it was and that’s probably all that matters.

Dawn was in a spinning twilight zone of her own, rather scary and debilitating.  We really missed her, but had to courageously move forward without her.  Now, we’re relieved to have her back at the flower shop with her 95% normality.  Here’s a link we’d like to share on that spinning subject Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)

If you ordered flowers from us this year for Valentine’s Day, We thank You.

Your business means quite a lot in this economic slump.  We owe our prevailing success to smarties buying locally and making choices based on their communities welfare.  We  appreciate your business, and will continue to be your best buddies in the floral business.  Thank you for your support.

www.mainfloral.net

We made it on the news for Valentine’s Day!  Even better, we made it on the Fox 9 news!  Can you believe it?!  Some of us were spinning in circles and grinning ear to ear with camera shyness.  Only a few of us made the cut.  Dawn really did have vertigo and went to the Doctor, but not until she had her interview.  She’s amazing!  We pray she’ll manage through this busy holiday without  falling over or getting too sick.  April was a star today too, it’s like she’s been on camera all her life!  It was great to be featured on the five o’clock news!  Thank You Fox 9!  You are truly the best in the biz!

We’ll deliver them along with your bouquet as an extra favor to you.  Beautifully fresh and always professionally designed, our bouquets last and last and last.  We’re a real local florist, so you can drop in anytime with your 3 page letter or novel.

Pick out your lovely bouquet last-minute or preorder for Valentine’s Day delivery.  We promise we won’t read your love letter or funny Valentine, besides we’ve heard it all before. You just sign, seal and we’ll deliver.  If you don’t care about privacy so much, we can type up any sweet and tender message over the phone as well. You might make us grin, giggle or blush, but we’d love to help you send your message of love on Valentine’s Day!  To sneak a peek at our Teleflora Designs, visit www.mainfloral.net.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

One of our own just welcomed a new baby girl into this world!  Christmas has been extra special this year with a newborn to think of.  Congratulations on this Christmas blessing!  Like a Mama bear and her newborn cub, hibernating in this snowy winter is oh so cozy.  We imagine our new Mother and child cuddled up on the couch, peaking out the window at the magical snowflake fluff.  Time will seem to slip away as a bond develops between these two.  Before too long these two will be out and about just in time for spring.  Send your warm wishes of a spring time thaw, when flowers are born and new babies keep growing into a New Year and renewed season.

New Baby bouquets with wintery style, or inspired by the sweetness of spring are available at www.mainfloral.net.  Call us for delivery specifics and add your personal touch to a beautiful bouquet for a New Baby and recently blessed family.

Ah, remember the days… when a thrill was just a thrill.  When we were kids,  fun was our only concern.  Now, Instead of being just leery of the unknown, we fear what we know… from bone breaking experience.  Our will to just have fun has been totally compromised.  In older age we usually reframe from participating in risky behaviors, such as sliding down a steep hill at 3o miles per hour on a flimsy piece of plastic. When we are brave and go out on a limb… we quickly regret and hang on for dear life!  It’s not easy growing up… but we’re sure glad we once lived those exciting times as kids.  Our fond memories of  just going for it, will last forever.  Remember the times when we were free to have fun, and take on new adventures in the spirit of fun!

Add a centerpiece of conversation…
to your holiday dinner table this year.

 We’re happy to pass on the tokens of inspiration brought to us by the Artist, Thomas Kinkade and Teleflora.  Thomas Kinkade is a well-known American Artist whose Artwork is inspired by simple pleasures and Christian faith.  We offer Thomas Kinkade collectable centerpiece specials every year.  New additions of Thomas Kinkade arrive each Christmas and Easter but move quickly, as they are loved and collected by many.  We decorate them with complimentary flowers, and careful not to take away from the art that’s already obvious.  This 2009 year, our Kinkade Christmas collectable is of a picture perfect house that lights up with a simple switch.  The quaint little house is nestled into the perfect hill for sledding.  It reminds us of our youth and good times of Winter!  This Christmas, let Kinkade light up the conversations at your house…gather around, tell your stories and share your fond memories of being so carefree and full of life.  Thomas Kinkade Sleigh Ride Bouquet is only available for a limited time.

great floral choices this Christmas!

  Deliver your merry wishes with a Main Floral Christmas creation!  Christmas brings us warm and fuzzy feelings to the month of December.  To celebrate we give Gifts of Joy, Bake Christmas Cookies, and Deck the Halls with Holly.  This time of year our Flower bouquets are jazzed up in the holiday spirit. The Holiday cheer embellishments of candy canes, sparkling gold and silver ornaments, velvety ribbons and holiday spices just make us giddy.  Winter greenery of pine and cedar give us wonderous scent, bringing us back to our child hood with one little sniff.  For family gatherings of these joyous holidays, a floral momento or Christmas centerpiece would simply be the icing on the cake. 

This year of 2009, we have the new Teleflora Christmas designs available while supplies last.  ♦ Teleflora’s Mixing Bowl is one of two variations.  The decorative gingerbread man ceramic is filled with cinnamon sticks, wooden mixing spoons,  pine cones, white or snowflake chrysanthemums, premium red roses and holly berries.  Check out the other variation “Christmas cookie” on our website. ♦ Our Lenox Holly-Day Bouquet is something rather elegant, with its high class Lenox bowl and golden accents, it really shows its value.  ♦ Our Gift of Joy Bouquet is just plain fun with specialty peppermint carnations, candy canes and a stripedy style gift box.

 www.mainfloral.net

We’re sorry… We recently sold out of our Gift of Joy container.  A similar style and value can be designed for you.

Sadly, It is common that we see poinsettias leaving the supermarket uncovered in the winter.  Retail store employees are simply not educated on the cold weather effect on live plants and flowers.  Unfortunately, neither are the consumers.  Here at Main Floral, we diligently wrap our fresh bouquets, plants and poinsettia before sending them on their way in the winter months.  Sometimes our customers say “There’s no need to go to all the trouble, I’m parked near by.”  So, quite often we explain to them why we are taking such measures to protect their purchase.  Flowers and Plants can be easily shocked by cold temperatures. Frost bite may damage them within seconds.  If you ever wondered why your flowers looked great when bought them, but wilted and turned ugly shortly after getting home, it could have very well been caused by transporting them without any protection.  The results would be even worse if they were sitting in a cold car for an hour or more!  When the temperature is hovering just over 32 degrees, we completely wrap them head to toe in tissue and plastic or paper.  When the temperature drops below 20 degrees we double wrap them, sometimes triple wrap them.  Most Florists in colder climates understand this crucial importance and should educate their customers.  When we see flowers leaving someplace without precautionary care, we cringe at the thought that those flowers have been wasted and will be unsatisfactory within a few hours time.  Imagine the disappointment that was completely avoidable with the right knowledge.  Please Pass it on.

Autumn Twilight

It’s really amazing if you think about it… the Sun breathes life into our flowers, trees and crops.  But not only that, Our planet’s growth is in sync with the Sun.  At dusk the Sun seems to blanket its dusty light upon the fields and gardens.  As if  it were tucking them in for the night…  Flowers can actually close up and rest… and in late Autumn Our Plants and Trees don’t die…
they just hibernate until the Sun warmly says “Wake up” in the Spring. 
Isn’t it amazing?
May you be enlightened and thankful for our Sun,
Earth, Moon and Stars this Thanksgiving Holiday!

The August birth flower, Gladiola,  represents moral integrity, strength of character, and also infatuation.  Its name comes from the Latin word for sword “Gladius.”  It is believed that the Gladiolus species was given its name because of its Roman Gladiator sword shaped stem.  Its romantic flowering blooms are also beautiful enough to pierce the heart.  Gladioli are mostly native to southern Africa and tropical areas of the world.  Because of their popularity, Gladioli are widely cultivated and show off  many bright colors.  The Gladiolus species are also known as ”sword lilies”, “Wild Iris”, and “Glads”.

About this time every year…
We are  feeling just lucky to have Dahlias in our flower shop.

Our Bouquets boast spectacular Dahlias of various sizes and brilliant colors.

During the Minnesota Summer’s end and early Autumn, Dahlias seem to smile and dance all around us.  Because they are here for such a limited time, we love them even more.

We are proud to share that our Dahlias are locally grown by local Gardeners.  They come to us in their prime and absolute freshness.  We are thrilled to design with these garden gems, and hope you get a chance to enjoy them too!

Wreath of Remembrance

Undoubtedly the time will come in every ones life, when we lose our most beloved family member or friend.  Our hearts will ache and feel broken, yet somehow we will find the strength to remember why we loved them so much.  We will remember their goodness and their spirit.  We will celebrate their life and their beauty.  We will pray for them and the ones they left behind.  We will whisper many tearful goodbyes and we will rely on our faith and our hope to get us through.  We will hold on to our hope for a heavenly time when we will be reunited.  Until then, we will find comfort in our enduring remembrance.

“when only the most beautiful flowers will do…”

Got a friend who’s down in the dumps?  Your friend probably doesn’t have much to smile about right now.  It happens to the best of us.  You know what they say though… “When life hands you lemons… make lemonade!”  Sometimes repeating that quote doesn’t help much.  Flowers might work better.

  
Your thoughtfulness and encouragement won’t go unappreciated.  After all what are friends for?  Cheer someone up with some lemony flowers that don’t suck!  Who knows maybe your friend will find at least one good thing going for them… You!  Check out our cheerfully Citrus bouquets including a few that might just fit the occasion like our Lemon aid  arrangement and Teleflora’s Pink Lemonade Bouquet.  Life is not all that bad with friends like you and Main Floral’s sweet flowers!

We love to be known for our brightly mixed bouquets.  Each flower and brilliant color needs to be center of attention.  We design exciting color combinations and use as many flower varieties as possible.  Our Bright and Cheery Vased Bouquets really show off!!   Stargazer Lilies, Gerbera Daisies and more gorgeous blooms act as focal points in each arrangement, however each flower in the design is complimentary and just as pretty as the next.  We don’t just simply throw it all in a vase.   It will be carefully thought out and designed to maximize the goosebumps and smiles upon receipt.  Our stunning bouquets look great for days and even weeks.  Main Floral pays just as much attention to quality as it does beauty.  Visit our website for “Teleflora” designs and Ideas.  If you’d like to send our Main Floral signature work just choose “designer’s choice” or call us directly and ask for an awsome Bright and Cheery mix.

As one of our customers kindly reminded us… “Flowers are Food for the Soul.”  Flowers hold special meanings that go beyond words.  As gifts they comfort us and feed our souls.  Flowers are nature’s perfection and our inspiration.  Their beauty brings us down to Earth when life gets the better of us.  They can be consoling and full of hope when the skies are cloudy and perseverance is most needed. When words are hard to find, flowers speak of care and love.

“The flower that follows the sun does so even in cloudy days”
