Valentine's Day

The new year is upon us and we're staying busy prepping for Valentine's Day. Or should I say Valentine's Weekend...since it falls on a Sunday we want to promote an entire weekend of romance! And to think...there are only 41 days until the big day! Time to gear up the staff, we'll be off and running in no time.

Happy Holidays

This time of the year has been busy for us here at Hestands Floral!
We had a very successful open house on Nov. 21st. That was also our 2 year anniversary of owning the shop.

Altrusa's Holiday Happenings was the first Sat. in December, we decorated 2 tables and had arrangements on 2 other tables, and had plants and flowers on 2 more tables! All the stage decor was from our shop...the place looked great! There are so many creative minds that decorate these amazing tables each year.

The Christmas season is in full swing and we are busy as ever!

Allergies and flowers

Allergies are a pest for many of us, me included! and my profession is a florist!! I keep zyrtec in business! So we think we cannot enjoy the benefits of a beautiful, artfully arranged bouquet of fresh flowers. Wrong. There are flowers out there that don't aggrivate the allergies. When speaking to your local florist ask for these flowers when sending bouquets to people who have allergies:

Agapanthus
Bouvardia
Carnations
Daffodils
Gladiolus
Hydrangeas
Hypericum berries
Iris
Leucadendron
Lisianthus
Magnolia
Orchids
Protea
Snapdragons
Spray roses
Tulips
Hibiscus

Some of these flowers are seasonal and are not available all year, but you can find most in your local flower shop!
