I remember well going into the old tiny white clapboard house, engulfed with oleander, gardenias, and sago palms, on the way to League City, TX, with its front half turned into a florist shop, they lived at the back, with mom when she needed to send sympathy flowers. In the 60's this was not a phone call or internet purchase. The large glass front refrigerator stuffed with flowers awaiting, scents, vases, ribbons, cut stems in a pile, no, I was not waiting in the car. Life was electric in that tiny shop & home.

Saw that house, long abandoned, during my last trip home in December.

No matter its current state it has sailed a thousand ships in my work. I have a Pinterest board for Florist Shops. Clients with acreage, and little time, I send to that board to inspire when they have an open garden or private function. Temporary beauty easily arranged.

Brilliant.
This took me back to the florist shops I went to with my parents in the '50s. All were mom & pop shops and the floral scent of walking into the cool room with my father to choose something.
I just got lost for a while in your pinterest board of florist shop. Enchanting!
