Actually, they are a fifth generation family owned business. I find that family owned businesses are much more reliable and consumer friendly when it comes to businesses. Lynn Martin Freeman is the current owner supported by her son Ryan Freeman. Next year will actually be their 110th anniversary of Martin’s. In fact they are celebrating with their annual open house on the 12/1/07. There you can find great postings of decorating tips and other featured articles on the site. And during this time of year it is always nice to get new and inventive decorating tips. I like to see what is the lastest and the greatest decorating rages are. I find that it is nice to incoorporate the old traditions with the new ideas. And Martin’s offer the most unique and inventive high-end design style when it comes to their flowers. They have may products that are in all price ranges and they back up their products with a 100% satisfacation guarantee.

Who does not love to get flowers…whether it be on their birthday or a holiday or just for no reason at all. The thing is that most people order their flowers to have them delivered right online. You really want to make sure that you are dealing with a reliable company that will be help you and send you those quality flowers that expect and that should be delivered. Believe it or not these days there is something and someone called a Florist Detective than can help you out with florist related scams because apparently it happens all of the time. There is also a Real Florists Blog where you can read up on articles and concerns that florists and customers are making. I was actually just reading a Letter to the FTC about 1800 Flowers and it was very interesting to say the least. It was sent by a group of very concerned florists to the FTC that are stating the 1-800 Flowers is deceiving their customers within their advertising. There is even a petition that you can sign to help support them. I think it is horrible that this company is trying to trick their customers into thinking that they are getting something when in actuality they are really not. It is wrong and as a consumer I will be thinking twice about purchasing my holiday flowers with them this holiday season. I will be looking and ordering elsewhere for sure!

There is nothing like fresh flowers to put on the Thanksgiving table. But if you can not get that then an artificial flower centerpiece is always nice too. But You can just head out tot he local market and get pretty fall collored flowers for the table. It just makes things so much nicer. Or get that beautiful center piece and give it to your parents afterwards. Or if you are going some where for dinner then this would make for a great gift to bring if you don’t want to bring wine.

Here is a great kid friendly flower…the sunflower. It is an annual flower so you have to plant it every year but you want to make sure that you plant it after the last frost in the Spring so that it will survive. The birds love this flower also and they can grow so tall…kids just love it. And some of the sunflowers you can get can be red if you prefer them instead of yellow. Kids just love to stand next to it…she which one is taller the flower or the kid! This is an easy annual to have success with! Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

I do not know of one person that does not like to send or even better than to get flowers and for the past 8 years Flora2000.com has been the consumers first choice when it comes to delivering premium flowers to over 150 countries! And they have a great online site that is very user friendly so you can order right online. And you don’t have to send just flowers because they also have Gourmet baskets too that make for that perfect gift and you can attach nice messages on it also. My best friend that has been my very best friend since we were both 5 years old is overseas for the next 6 months. She is a doctor and this is her 3 trip in the last 5 years overseas in another country. She went to Peru on her last trip but this time she is in the Dominican Republic and she loves it. We email each other occassionally but she is just so busy that she just does not have time…But she has a temporary permanent place where she is staying so this would be the perfect thing to get her since she will be still there for Christmas. And this site actually does send flowers to this destination so I am in luck! I do not have a picture of her that she would let me put up on my blog however…these are the christmas flowers I will be getting. She loves pink and this is just beautiful and affordable!!! And that makes for the perfect combination!

Sometimes you need to clean out your flowerpots but you are just not near a water source. Not to mention that you really do not want to deal with the muddy mess anyways! So all you have to do is get a really stiff bristles brush and sprinkle some salt in the pot. Then just brush away all the dirt and grim. A little salt in the pot also will not do your flowers any harm either…if anything it will help them out. This is a very easy solution with very little clean up! Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

You probably wouldn’t think of this but bleach can help your flowers live longer! I love cut flowers but they just do not last long enough if you ask me…especially red roses! If you want them to last longer try this tip….at 1/4 teaspoon of bleach in a liter of water for your vase and throw in a few pinches of sugar. It will keep the water from getting cloudy and get ride of bacteria growth Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |

I love to get flowers. However, they just never last as long as you would like them to. You just can not really enjoy them for more than a week depending on what kind of flower they are. Here is a tip on how to keep them fresh for a few more days at least. When you put the water in the vase add 2 tsps. or sugar and 2 tsps. of apple cider vinegar. Be sure to cut the fresh flowers at an angle under warm water before you put them in the vase. It is as simple as that. So do not just shove your beautiful flowers in a vase of water anymore!

Dish soap will kill aphids even better that the insecticidal soaps however, it may harm your plants. Alwasy be sure to test a small area and only use 1-2 tablespoons of dish soap to a gallon of water and DO NOT use antibacterial soaps…they will hard your plants. Personally, I have had great luck with Equate. Filed under: Flowers and Insect and Bugs and Lawn Care Comments: None |

The beer traps really good if you husband will spare you a beer for your garden :)You just have to make sure that you design it correctly. My first try…I attracted slugs but I didn’t trap them! AH!! Make sure that the beer is around 5 inches deep and 1 inch below the top of the trap so that when the stupid slugs reach up to get out they fall in.

If you could be any flower what flower would you be? I think I would be a daisy. it is so simple yet so sweet. I just love daisy’s. However carnations are my favorite flower. I love all sorts of colors for this flower. The thing I love about this flower is that it lasts for a few weeks before it starts to look not so good in the vase. So what flower would you be?

Here is a tip for you people that love to have flowers in your home but can not maintain them so you get the artificial kind. I actually have a few artificial arrangements in my place and I really like them. I prefer the fresh real flowers but these last a lot longer. However they do get quite dusty and dirty at times. So, what you do is take a bag and fill it with water and 1/4 cup of salt or put it in a bowl. Then put the flowers in and shake it around in the bag or swish it around in the bowl and it will coming out looking as good as the day you bought it!

If you are having a problem with your fungal sport plant disease such as powdery mildew - try mixing some baking soda with water and spraying it on the leaf surface…this ways it makes the fungal sports unable to actually infect the plant…therefor you don’t have the plant disease. Not to mention this is a lot healthier for the environment and a lot cheaper than all the other products that sometimes really don’t work! 1 tablespoon of baking soda , 1 teaspoon of dish soap, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1 gallon of water. Make sure you test this on a small area - you don’t want to burn the plant if it is a sensitive plant! Filed under: Flowers and Gardening Tips and Lawn Care Comments: None |

Personally I think the best and most “Friendly Fence” is the Rose of Sharon. They come in all sorts of varieties too. You can usually find them in your local nurseries but you can also order them online or through flowering magazines. Just be sure if you order it online there is a 1 year guarantee…and be sure to keep that label and not to loose it. I guarantee that if you get 20 plants that 10 of them will not have made it and you can get replacements if this does happen! Filed under: Flowers Comments: None |
