0 Comments

 
​There is a sweet holiday coming up this week!  This holiday has grown in popularity the last few years...but there are still many people who don't know what it is or who started it (including me! That is until I researched for this blog post).

Sweetest Day is always celebrated on the third Saturday in October. That means in 2020 it's October 17th!

Keep reading to find out what this holiday is about, how it got started, and how you can celebrate!

What Flowers to Give for St. Patrick's Day

3/2/2020

0 Comments

 
​Parades, leprechauns, corned beef and cabbage, shamrocks and all things green are all part of the traditions of St. Patrick’s Day. Celebrated on March 17 it was originally a religious feast day for St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Today, the holiday has evolved as a cultural celebration for the Irish and the Irish-at-heart. Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by giving flowers to friends, family and to that someone special.

When you choose flowers to send or to give for St. Patrick’s Day, consider some of these traditional favorites or other blooms with bright pops of orange and green.
​Bells of Ireland

Bells of Ireland have ruffled lime-green blooms that can be used to add height and dimension alongside other white and yellow flowers for a spectacular arrangement
​Daffodils

Consider sending your special someone special a cheerful Daffodil plant. A favorite plant and cut flower for spring...this gift is sure to put a smile on your recipient's face!
Yellow, White, or Orange Roses

Roses are native to Ireland and yellow, white, or orange roses arranged with lush greenery make for a stunning St. Patrick’s Day floral arrangement. ​​
​Shamrock Plant

A traditional symbol of Ireland, you can choose a shamrock plant as a gift  The shamrock symbolizing Spring’s rebirth was once considered a sacred plant in Ireland. See our Shamrock Houseplant care tips here.
​​Green Carnations

A long-time favorite, a dozen green carnations make a perfect St. Patrick’s Day gift for anyone! Or consider sending a green carnation corsage, this way that special someone will have something “green” to wear on March 17th.
​​White, Yellow or Green-dyed Daisies

Daisies are simply a cheerful flower, a traditional symbol of Spring and are perfect for sharing the joy of St. Patrick’s Day!
​

​Regular daisies not your thing?

Consider Orange Gerbera Daisies, a pretty flower with large blooms and sturdy stem

Ask a Florist: Easter Lilies and Cats

4/7/2019

0 Comments

 
One of the most frequent questions we get this time of year is about whether Easter Lilies are poisonous to their pets.
The National Animal Poison Control Center says that certain types of lilies can cause kidney failure in cats that have ingested any part of the lily. Specifically those known as the Tiger, Day, Asiatic, Easter, and Japanese Show lilies are shown to be poisonous to cats. 
​Thankfully, lily poisoning doesn’t cause kidney failure in dogs, but if a large amount is ingested, it can result in some gastrointestinal signs in our canine friends.


How Much? Just 2-3 leaves, or even the pollen groomed off the fur, can result in poisoning in a cat.
If untreated, acute kidney failure will develop and be fatal.

What about other types of lilies?
​Other types of lilies such as Peace, Peruvian, and Calla lilies don’t cause deadly kidney failure, but they also can be mildly poisonous too, as they contain oxalate crystals which result in tissue irritation to the mouth, tongue, pharynx, and esophagus – resulting in minor drooling.
If your cat is seen consuming any part of a lily, bring your cat (and the plant) immediately to a veterinarian for medical care.

Anchor Floral recommends keeping all lilies out of the reach of cats. ​
