Although not strictly about flowers, I must tell you that our recent “horror show”, which had to do with our web host not renewing our domain registration (despite charging our credit card just prior to their closing their doors), and someone “hijacking” our domain name, made it perfectly clear to us that dealing with reputable domain registrars and web hosting companies is vital to your continued business success…get good advice from an IT professional and save yourself (hopefully) the blood, sweat and tears of having to fix a mess like we did…

The elusive blue rose…

Well, as this article suggests, the code has been cracked, and Japan will have the opportunity to enjoy true, blue roses first…but the floral world has been made smaller by FedEx, UPS, and the like…they’ll be here soon enough for those brides who want to build their wedding around the uniqueness of a truly, blue rose..

This very first post on our blog really needs to be a “shout-out” to an extraordinary florist, who has helped Toni and I become competent, and sometimes actually pretty creative!!…that florist is Phil Rulloda of the Southern California School of Floral Design…Toni and I have taken many, many classes from Phil, and have attended symposiums where Phil was the featured designer and artist….his designs are incredible and he is totally unselfish about sharing those with new students of the craft, as well as his one-of-a-kind techniques…Toni and I take this opportunity to thank him publicly!!
