About Me

I am a very close friend of Donn Flipse, Jen Stabile and other associates of Field of Flowers, based in Davie Florida. I share with them a love of flowers and plants, the business of selling them, and a desire to learn more about them. Via my blog I hope to find other people of similar interests and provide them with interesting and entertaining information.

Lily Celebration!

Lily flowers or lilium candidum was known to be the most significant flower symbol for Christians and that they indicate purity.  In Greek poetry, lily flowers signified tenderness and they were also referred to as the voice of muses. There is even a Greek myth that says how lily was born from the milk of the goddess Hera.  The first description of lily flowers can be traced back from the Chinese Middle Ages, where lily plant blossoms until late autumn and there were three shades, which include red, purple, and yellow.  In Europe, lily flowers were also used as remedy for many kinds of sicknesses and diseases. But, you should be careful if you have cats as pets as lilies can be poisonous to them.
Also, dont forget about our lily celebration going on from February 27th thru March 7th.  We are also having free flower arranging demos on the 27th and on March 6th at 2pm in both our Davie & Boca stores.  No reservations required, just bring yourself, friends & family  and have fun!
