Seasonal Flowers for Fall and Winter - Columbus Monthly

If visions of sun-kissed peonies and peach-colored blooms dance in your head, Meacham and Kasey Conyers of Orchard Lane Flowers (another Central Ohio weddings mainstay, located in Clintonville) have suggestions for making floral selections that are right for the season, but still accomplish the look you're dreaming of. Instead of: Peonies Try: Dahlias Peonies were once only available for a short time in the spring. Now, thanks to Alaskan greenhouses, Meacham says, they're in-season again in mid to late summer. That doesn't mean fall and winter brides need to cut the incredibly popular peony out of their plans, but they should be prepared to pay a price. "Winter peonies are going to be extremely costly, as they are flown in to the U.S. from far-away farms in the Southern Hemisphere," Conyers says. "They aren't the most economical choice, but we can get them from other parts of the world if we need to." In-season peonies, Conyers says, should cost around $8 to $9 per stem. During the off-season you can expect to pay closer to $15 to $20 per stem. Meacham offers the similarly lush and bulbous dahlia as an alternative seasonal statement flower for fall. "The Café au Lait dahlia is especially beautiful for weddings," Mecham says, adding that they're available from local growers into October. This generous, dense bloom comes in other classic wedding colors-dusty peach, ivory, champagne and creamy pink-and has an elegant, ombre-like fade throughout its layered, geometric petals. Instead of: Strictly seasonal themes or color palettes Try: Blues, white-on-white, greens Why stick to a season at all? "Brides are having a lot of fun with their colors and breaking from the traditional ‘holiday' or ‘winter' colors," Conyers says. "They're doing what feels right for their wedding, even if it's not what you'd expect to see at that time of year." Blush pink, whites and heavy greens are still trending no matter what the weather, Meacham adds. Indeed, a good florist can make your wedding colors come to life no matter the season. "We're seeing a large range of colors and blooms being used in the winter," Conyers says. "We had a lot of fun this past winter with bright whites, crisp greens and a touch of blue." If you like the traditional red holiday color palette, consider adding some contemporary fullness to it, she says: Mix a touch of blush with bright and d...

Jackson Presbyterian Church plant sale attracts local gardeners

I make,” customer James Wood said as he and his wife Vierra Wood looked over flowers being sold by the Smith family of Conyers, including Shannon Smith and Ashley Smith. Music also wafted through the air. “Do you know ‘Oh Susanna?’” Dixie Dulcimers member Sharelle Cleveland asked Frank Worley, who came up from the Middle Georgia Dulcimer Club. Before the day was over, the pair had played a set or two. Jackson Presbyterian’s newly refurbished Victorian square grand piano could also be heard during church tours. The church plans to dedicate the piano at 2 p.m. Sunday. (jacksonprogress-argus)

Bermuda post box numbered 666 which receives Google profits worth £8BILLION

Bermudan government's Registrar of Companies, Google Bermuda Unlimited and Google Ireland Holdings are registered to the address of Conyers Dill and Pearman, a law firm at Clarenden House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton.The firm is based just a few streets from the PO Box to which Google directs billions in profits. FACEBOOK PAYS JUST 4% ON ITS CORPORATION TAX BILLS AROUND THE WORLD  Facebook's fractional corporate tax bills are set to fuel a scandal over corporate tax avoidance.The social media giant paid £4,327 in UK corporation tax in 2014 - despite revenues in Britain of more than £700million.And it has emerged it paid just £86million to all tax authorities outside the United States despite reeling in profits of around £2.4 billion.The figures suggest Facebook pays around 4 per cent in corporation tax around the world.The Sunday Times today said Facebook was resisting an investigation by HMRC into the taxes it paid in Britain between 2010 and 2014.Facebook has reportedly slashed its UK tax bill by paying staff with shares and channelling payments offshore to the Cayman Islands.Baroness Joanna Shields, Facebook's former European boss, is the Government minister for internet security.The revelations, coming on the back of a scandal over an HMRC agreement with Google, is set add fuel to a fire over the taxes paid by multinationals. But Derrick Ward, 51, told The Sun he had no idea Google was based at the building - despite working in the post room for the past four years.He said: 'Google don't have an office in the lawyers' building. I'm sure we'd know about it if they did.'He added: 'If there was a Google HQ on Bermuda it would be clear to see. I hear they have football pitches at their offices. I've never met anyone who works for Google in all my life.'A receptionist at the windowless Bermuda office told the Sun: 'Google doesn't have an office here, they don't employ any staff here.'But after referring to her computer, the receptionist said that Google Bermuda Unlimited is registered at PO Box 666 through the law firm's affiliate company, called Codan.Mr Barron today told the BBC Andrew Marr programme: 'In the UK we pay corporation tax at 20 per cent – there is no sweetheart deal.'We are taxed on the economic activities of Google UK. We pay corporation tax in the UK at 20 per cent. (Daily Mail)
