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.

We're in the News!


The Boca Raton Forum recently posted a nice article about Field of Flowers.  We are very proud of our designers and their designs...
                          
The Annual Social Directors’ Roundtable, a gathering of social directors at country clubs throughout South Florida, held their annual event at Maggiano’s of Boca Raton. Highlighting the event were centerpieces donated by Field of Flowers.

Social directors from Aventura to West Palm Beach met to discuss ways of encouraging the public to use the country clubs as venues for their weddings, anniversary parties, quinces and other milestone events and parties.

“More than 50 people representing more than 30 country clubs came to this event,” said Linn Bak, major accounts coordinator for Field of Flowers. “It was an ideal way to showcase our creativity and make a great impression on the club directors."

Field of Flowers designers were given the opportunity to be imaginative, and the result was a wide variety of centerpieces and room décor. “This was exactly what the planners had in mind,” said Bak. “They encouraged us to go ‘all-out’ and we did just that.”

"This was a great group of people, dedicated to making special events truly unique and memorable,” said Donn Flipse, president of Field of Flowers. “We were happy to support their efforts and show them how extraordinary flowers and creative centerpieces fit that mission perfectly.”

What Flowers Can Do For You?

 
If you thought flowers were just for decorating your home or to accent your décor…. Think again!  The scent of fresh flowers is proven to put people in a better frame of mind, making them subconsciously see your home cleaner and larger!   Another benefit, from a study at the University of Rochester found flowers can make your family nicer to each other. – Really!  It seems that seeing signs of nature helps people feel more connected to each other…  If anyone wants to test this theory out, let us know.

Flowering facts about Mistletoe……


Mistletoe is known as an evergreen parasitic plant. It attaches itself to old Apple, Lime, Ash and Hawthorne trees burrowing its roots deep into the roots of the tree and sucking up its nutrients. Mistletoe has been around for centuries and used throughout different cultures, the Druids believed that it could perform miracles, from providing fertility to humans and animals to curing diseases and protecting against witchcraft. Although unsure where the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe came from some believe that it was the Vikings association with the plant and their goddess of love, Frigga. Others think it’s the ancient belief that it’s related to fertility. However it came about, the “proper” mistletoe etiquette is for the man to remove one berry after he kisses a girl. Once all the berries are gone, no one can kiss under that plant again. For those that follow the “proper” ways it is said to bring good luck to them.
