Moon flowers, a romantic Ocean Beach garden, the Monterey cypress - San Diego Reader

He pointed out all of this to her. By Abe Opincar, July 17, 1997 Read full article Sin Jen recalls a disaster that struck San Diego before the war: When the water from Hoover Dam was first used in California, it was too salty and killed all the begonias and acid-loving plants. Paul Stachellek Get That Gorgeous Girl Out of That Rock Sin has hundreds of gardens all over the county, many in Point Loma and Rancho Santa Fe.. I have talked with a few of these lucky people. They regard Sin with affectionate wonder and tell stories about his skill and the strength of his vision — tales of plant identification, coaxing branches down to the ground, daredevil pruning. In a garden in Point Loma, he grafted a red leaf plum onto an apricot because he wanted the color.

Pull It Up by the Roots Before You Fall in Love With It About 40 years ago, shortly after Lou and I built our home and every penny counted, I climbed to the top of a large Monterey cypress tree outside our bedroom and cut off its totally dead top section.

After taking most of 2020 season off, Flower Fields set to bloom again - The San Diego Union-Tribune

Fields in Carlsbad on Wednesday. After spendingmuch of the 2020 season closed, the floral attraction will reopen March 1.(Eduardo Contreras/The San Diego Union-Tribune) Clarke said the county approved the venue’s safe reopening plan under the purple tier requirements for outdoor recreational facilities. Online-only ticket sales, timed ticket entry, reduced capacity rules and face mask requirements will be implemented for the first time. But Clarke said visitors will be in for a spectacular show, because the flower seeds germinated so well during the fall planting season.“We had a fantastic germination this year, so it’s going to be really beautiful here,” Clarke said, during a walk around the property Wednesday, where a handful of staff gardeners and volunteers were busy getting things ready for next week.Staff gardener Judy MacKenzie was trimming up greenery in the artist gardens near the Flower Fields’ front entrance. For the third year in a row, she’s creating scenic spots where visitors can pose for selfies. This year, she’s created garden archways with hanging mosaic artwork. Last year, she created an elaborate “Pot Head” garden featuring pots resembling ancient Greek busts that have plants growing out of their “heads.” She said it was heartbreaking putting so much work into the potheads last year, only to see the attraction close.“I came back to look at it a few weeks later and it looked so good but there was nobody here to enjoy it,” MacKenzie said. To ensure safe social distancing, The Flower Fields in Carlsbad will reopen March 1 with online-only ticket sales, timed entry and marked queues out front for visitor check-ins.(Eduardo Contreras/The San Diego Union-Tribune) Over the past quarter-century, the Flower Fields have become one of the region’s most-photographed tourist attractions. In the early years, Clarke was thrilled to welcome 75,000 visitors between March 1 and Mother’s Day weekend. But with the advent of Instagram and other social media platforms, business exploded. In 2019, the attraction drew nearly 300,000.The long sloping hillside, wh...

No 'super bloom' but wildflowers still coming to Anza-Borrego - Los Angeles Times

Desert sunflowers were some of the early bloomers at the Arroyo Salada in the Anza-Borrego desert in 2019. (John Gibbins / San Diego Union-Tribune) Those rain-fueled super blooms occurred in 2017 and 2019, and they each drew an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 visitors during peak season. The 2017 bloom, nicknamed “flowermageddon” by some, was such a legendary tourist magnet that weekend traffic backed up 20 miles on Montezuma Valley Road (County Highway S-22), the road that leads into the 630,000-acre state park in east San Diego County. Knaak said visitors arriving this month won’t see fields of color, but they will spot pockets of flowers and annual blooming shrubs, especially if they venture to the shadier areas that retain some moisture, such as Box Canyon, Rainbow Canyon and Hornblend Canyon. “We don’t want people to get their hopes up too high,” she said. “Right now people are reporting patches here and there, especially in the area we call south of Scissors Crossing. They’re seeing some nice blooms. Not big fields or anything, but people who are into botany are finding them.” An Ocotillo plant with some red flowers sits on the western edge of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in 2013. (Charlie Neuman / San Diego Union-Tribune) In a phone interview last week, Knaak said the forecast for the rest of the peak season wasn’t looking great. Then she called back 20 minutes later with joy and excitement in her voice. “Do you hear that?” she asked, holding the phone to the window at the history association’s office, where a roar of rain was coming down. “It’s pouring. This is a game-changer.”According to the National Weather Service, a little under a quarter-inch of rain fell in the Borrego desert Wednesday afternoon. That may not sound like much, but the Borrego region averages only 5.3 inches a year, and more rain is in the forecast this week. Knaak said it takes from three to six weeks for flowers to emerge after a good rainfall like last week’s. The flowers now blooming in the park were germinated in a late January storm, so Knaak said the soonest these new flowers will arrive is late March or early April. Silver-dollar-sized blossoms can be seen in the crown of a barrel cactus near the t...

Wild Orchid Florist in El Cajon passed down to former apprentice who is taking it to the next level - The East County Californian

After my dad’s advice, I remember being in my room, opening up the phonebook and calling every single florist in all of San Diego and only one person gave me an interview,” she said. “And that was David Daoud, here at Wild Orchid Florist. We sat down and I told him I was going to work in the Bellagio someday, do flowers for famous people and that it was what I wanted to do with my life. So he said he would train me and give me a chance.” Both of her grandmothers on both sides were artists. So she grew up painting and her mother and father were into plants, so they always had beautiful gardens. She was always gravitated towards it. Being young she wished there was a career that included the arts and the crafts. She knew she would be really good at it. Brozowski walked through the doors of Wild Orchid Florist for the first time at 16-years-old. She worked with Daoud for a number of years and he became family. She said he was like a dad, sent her to school in Los Angeles to work with Phil Rolludo (School of Floral Design and Shop Management). He encouraged her to push herself into the design world and enter competitions. So she competed in the Del Mar Fair competitions and won two first place awards at Art Alive. “After working with him for a number of years I decided it was time for me to go and learn the industry,” she said. “So I went and worked for big shops, little shops, production shops all over San Diego because I knew I was going to have my own business some day. I wanted to see who was doing what and how they were doing it. Eventually, I got busy enough to work out of my house just doing weddings and events. I did that for three years while I worked for an art company where I travelled and did art at the same time. So if I wasn’t painting, I was playing with flowers. I felt so lucky. It was an amazing time in my life.” She said Daoud and her stayed friends through the years. He helped her when she needed it and she would help him when he needed it. But she said she would never forget the phone call that would change her life into a new era in the floral design industry. “I was doing an event at the Convention Center and he said, ‘we need to have lunch. I want to r...
