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.

Keeping the Environment Top of Mind...


I’m proud to see that our industry is becoming increasingly aware of the environment!
One of our biggest of plant growers, Kerry’s Bromeliads in Homestead, was recently granted VeriFlora certification, meaning that they met demanding, verifiable requirements for operating in a green, sustainable manner. http://veriflora.com/downloads/KerrysEarnsVF_PR_1008.pdf
One of our biggest flower growers, Esmeralda Farms, also received VeriFlora certification recently for its farms in Ecuador. http://veriflora.com/downloads/EsmeraldaHilsea_Certified_072208.pdf


Veriflora encourages consumers to "Look for this label ."
If you see it on fresh cut flowers and potted plants it confirms that you are buying products that meet America's most comprehensive sustainability standard. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every grower made the same commitment to our ecological future?
