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!

Quality or Beauty? 

Trick question!  The two are inseparable.

Been burned by the big scammers in the floral business? Don’t fret, sooner than later the word gets around! Make sure you tell your friends just how embarrassed you were when you discovered the flowers weren’t worth what you paid!  Most of the time you don’t see the flowers the recipient gets! (these companies are hoping neither of you know any better) 

We know better and we won’t do this to you!
We know your gift of flowers is very important! 

Main Floral is an experienced traditional business, locally owned and family operated.  Unlike the deceptive 1800- and Pro-Online companies, we’re close by! We’re your neighbors and friends and don’t want to let you down! You can stop in and see the difference. Our main goal is based on ”Beautiful Quality” - When you call in a floral order, your call stays in the United States and we actually speak your language!

We’re sorry you’re here because you got ripped off! Hopefully we’ll cheer you up, by delivering flowers that knock his or her socks off! We love to doing that!

If you’re suffering the big pollen explosion that usually comes with the end of summer…

The Summer stinker: RagWeed

Well, we’re sorry you are. We’re certainly not Doctors… but as experienced allergy sufferers, we’re self-proclaimed ”Suffering Experts”. We’d like to pass on some helpful tips to cope with the tiny pollen that wreak big havoc on your body’s defenses. Read our tips but remember always check with a qualified professional before following our tips. 

1. Know the culprit. Many people accuse any old flower for their suffering, even more so “Golden Rod” gets blamed. Unknown to many people, pollen from these sources can only be carried by friendly bees and animals. In most cases the end of Summer allergen that causes “Hay Fever”  is non other than “Ragweed“ which is fine and dry enough to become airborne.
2. Limit exposure: Close up your windows in the car and home. Let your air conditioning run to filter airborne pollen. What a sad end to Summer!
3. Medicate: As soon as possible start a regiment of an over the counter Antihistamine or a Doctor prescribed allergy medicine. It takes a few to several days to take full effect, so the sooner… the better. This regiment may continue until the first frost.
4. Natural method: Use a Neti pot to help clean out those nasal passages, aid in optimum drainage. This holistic approach can help prevent sinus infections and help you breathe a little easier at night.
5. Cool the Itch: Sometimes topical anti-ich cream helps around your nose and nostrils.
   Sending Get Well flowers won’t hurt allergy sufferers, but just to avoid any doubters… Sending a get well gift basket, fruit basket, custom or gourmet basket, or a healthy house plant might be a better alternative. Send your note of love and care with yummy treats. We’re here to help at Main Floral! Main Floral delivers to Anoka, Champlin, Coon Rapids, Ramsey and many more cities in Minnesota.

via Online Florists: Whither the ethics?.

Because  of FTD’s shady practices, we no longer use their wiring services.  They had a good thing going, a good reputation for many years, until they burned the hardworking florists from which they built their business on.  With FTD’s steep dues, betrayal and business tactics in question, flower shops everywhere are finding themselves perplexed.  Now, FTD is burning everybody, not just it’s loyal flower shop members.  A good name has of late become of shame. They are not the only ones damaging reputations either.  There are big names in big trouble, taking advantage of unsuspecting consumers and small flower shops just the same.  It seems that they are stealing and misleading everyday people but more importantly they are stealing from the heart of the floral industry.  The website,  www.flowerchat.com has many blogs about these issues hurting the floral industry.  We also blog from time to time about the Internet swindlers in the biz…and trying to show that our flower shop is real, true and different from these big advertisers.  It is important to us… that we get the word out, not just for ourselves  but for other shops like us.  High quality flower shops are suffering because they are competing with unethical businesses.  We are eager to let potential flower buyers know that there is a difference.  There are Internet Puranas out their trying to capture your order, using deceptions and false claims to grab your interest. Whatever you spend with them, consider it too much. Whatever promises are made to you, consider them made to be broken.  Instead of pretty flowers for a friend, you might receive an apology by email or spend a lot of time trying to get your money back.  You may want to think twice before ordering through a calling center or poser florist with no real address.  Save yourself from discounted flowers, drop shipping, and untimely deliveries.  Do some research… find out just who is getting your money, what deductions will be made, how will your flowers be delivered, and how much money will actually go towards the value of your flowers.  Please believe us when we say “Order from your local florist to receive value in flowers and service.” Real Flower shops need your business, and will serve you proudly without deception.  Don’t hesitate to ask questions, a good florist will appreciate it.  In this internet age it’s getting harder and harder to find transparency and fair business.  It’s up to all of us to weed the bad ones out.

Where are you buying your Valentine’s Day flowers from?

 The disturbing truth behind 1800flowers, fromyouflowers, proflowers and more emerging companies like them…
 

They are not who you think they are!  It shouldn’t be so confusing.  Who is telling the truth and to who is lying to your face?  Sending beautiful flowers from a reputable florist is easier said than done these days.  If you stick to one major rule, your beloved is more likely to get the best quality Valentine’s Day Flowers for the money you spend.  The major rule of thumb would be:  Buy directly from your local florist… even if you need to wire them out-of-state.  Skip the big advertising companies such as 1800flowers, fromyouflowers, proflowers and more.  These online advertising companies only exist to take a percentage of your money and outsource to a local florist anyway.  Companies like these are skimming money from your order without you even knowing.  In the end you get something of much less value, less quality, or even worse… wilting flowers that are drop-shipped from who knows where.  These companies are well-known for misleading consumers and not telling whole truth.  You may find truth on consumer review websites and other helpful websites like www.flowerchat.com,  www.floristdetective.com and www.savetheflorist.com.  

These deceptive companies think you’re stupid and think that you will never know the difference or figure out their scheme.  We think you’re smarter than that, and can make good choices with honest information.  Save yourself from embarrassment…don’t get burned.  Save the flower recipient heartache too.  In many situations there are unhappy recipients, tears, frustration and little recourse.  You may file complaint with the FTC, if you’ve already been there.  Follow this link for help.
http://www.floristdetective.com/reportflowerdeceptiontotheftc.aspx

Helpful tip for ordering flowers:

Hypothetically ask the person on the phone if you can pickup your flowers instead of having them delivered.  If the answer is “no”, you’ll know you’re not dealing with a real florist, instead you’re dealing with an order gatherer.  Search out your local florist… They are there!  Look beneath all the advertisements and make sure they have a valid physical address.

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 Flower of August

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”.

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.

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”

Are you day dreaming of the Summer’s Sun?  Antisipating those lazy days of sipping lemonade while the children laugh and play under the sprinkler? Are you thinking of tending to the garden on those long summer days just when the mood suits you?  Are you wishful for sweet smells that a warm summer breeze may bring you?  If you imagined a flower that totally represents summer in your mind, would it be the Sunflower?  For many people Sunflowers are favored and eagerly awaited for their simple glory that summer brings.  In the peak of Summer the sunflower stands tall, surpassing all the rest. With it’s noble face looking toward the rising and the setting sun…  it boasts it’s strength and size.  It stands mighty with it’s offerings of the most appetising seeds for birds and animals all around. It’s bounty will surely be appreciated into the next season.  The Sunflower is the flower of Summer.

Make it a special day for the one you love with a bouquet of sunflowers, send some excitement for a wondrous summer to come… or simply remind them of sweet summer memories. Remind them of  just how lovely life can be!

Summer is to celebrated, the sun is to be worshiped. Summer is the time when children make life long memories. Take it easy this summer. Enjoy all the life around you. Enjoy your family and friends. Tell someone you love them… send them Sunflowers. 

Memorial Day is the day to decorate the graves of our brave soldiers.  We leave them our flowers, our patriotic petals, our symbols of heart- felt wishes that their souls may rest in peace.  We pray for them. We leave our flowers to show that we miss them, that we mourn them.  We honor them with patriotic wreaths, American Spirit bouquets, flowers and sprays of red, white and true.  We acknowledge them for the freedoms we have and thank them for their sacrifice. We leave our flowers to show the grand importance of our soldiers lost in war and soldiers who dedicated their lives in service to America’s  sweet liberty and safety. 

We also honor the old and disabled war veterans that have earned glory for their nation.  We gift them flowers to show that we care for them, we recognize them, to show our respect for them and for what they have given our nation… We honor them for their bravery, their endurance, their dedication, their losses and their sacrifices.  We thank them with symbolic freedom Bouquets of red white and blue flowers.

We’d like to share with you some things we have learned about butterflies and their symbolism.

Butterflies have been adored and celebrated by many cultures.  The symbolism of a butterfly is seen as a personification of a person’s soul.  The Ancient Greek word for butterfly, primarily means soul and mind.  In the Chinese culture two butterflies together are a symbol of love. Japanese superstition says that if  a butterfly comes into your guestroom or perches behind a bamboo screen the person you most love will be coming to see you.  In some old cultures the butterfly symbolizes good luck.  In most cultures the butterfly means love, life, and rebirth.
The butterfly has and is often being used in various Art forms  including visual and literary arts such as drawings, paintings, photography, books, poems, short stories, movies and other mixed media artworks.  Today Butterflies are also featured in many jewelry, gifts and furnishing designs.  Butterflies go far back into the history of man.  They have been found in Egyptian Hieroglyphs over 3,500 years ago. Butterflies have long been respected and artistically depicted throughout the world and time.  Today the butterfly is being studied for health and environmental changes.  It has been influential in the design of  Air crafts and more.  The Butterfly’s importance is significant to nature as the pollinator among flowers.
People love flowers therefor they love butterflies! Find more information about butterflies visit Wikipedia/Butterfly

We wanted to show you some of our floral designs that incorporate the butterfly.  If your interested in ordering something you see here for a butterfly lover in our delivery areas.  Click on the image you like and it will bring you straight to our Main Floral Website.
