Garden Roses

As a florist, I see many different flowers every day. One that stands out above the rest is the Garden Rose. It is not your typical standard rose (which are great also). These Garden Roses have so much more character with the stem and the full unique heads. They look like the ones that my grandmother would grow in the backyard, but larger. Often times, consumers will think they are old because of the firmness of the head, but that is only becuase of the high petal count. My most favorite thing about them is the fragrance. These are some of the most fragrant flowers we carry. We do not carry them all the time, but ask, we just might have some in stock.

Green Plant Month is Here!

Howdy!
Our store is full of really beautiful foliage right now! Bringing our Greenhouse indoors has been one challenge with awesome results. I personally love the way the store looks right now.

Between our bright and cheery summer cut arrangements, our lush and refreshing plant selection, and the featured paintings of a local artist displayed in store, I can't stop finding reasons to sneak out and have a look around. :)

I am also looking forward to a workshop that Curtis and I are hosting on Saturday, June 13th. Here in a moment I am going to be working up a demo patio/entryway planter that I will be using as an example for the class. Having such a large selection to work with is going to make it really fun and worth getting messy for!

Of course, I have an ever rotating list of favorite plants, and todays include:

Rex Begonia

Fabian Aralia

Prince of Orange Philodendron

and Rubber Plant

I am really excited about all we have going on this month at Dr Delphinium. I hope you all have a chance to come by and see what is in store this June!

Our hope is to bring awareness to those plants that need attention or just need to be replaced. We encourage everyone to send us a picture and enter our contest. You could win a $500 plant makeover.

Don’t forget to give your ugly plant a name. The name should be funny and fitting. Click here to learn more about the contest. http://www.drdelphinium.com/plants
