Polk County flower shop struggling with business after damage from Hurricane Irma

LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) – Hurricane Irma did more than just damage homes. Small businesses are struggling to recover from damage, loss of income and ruined merchandise.A Polk County flower shop is faced with a damaged building and ruined flowers.The storm sent a massive tree toppling into Flowers From The Heart by Michelle in Winter Haven. “The tree crashed through the building breaking walls, ceiling, vases, it broke merchandise,” owner Michelle Yzaguirre told WFLA. “It was a huge mess. No electricity. We weren’t allowed to open, so we were closed for like nine days.”That also meant nine days of not being able to fill orders, and nine days without income.Yzaguirre said the worst part is the empty shelves.“I lost about $3,000 worth of flowers,” she said.Without electricity, all of her flowers were ruined.“It was so heart-wrenching having to throw away all of those flowers that we work so hard to purchase,” Yzaguirre said, adding that she doesn’t have insurance to cover any of it. “Paying...

The smell of citrus flowers is intensely divine!

F) lime-kumquat hybrid which makes a very attractive container plant. They produce fruit resembling the lime in looks and quality. Eustis, Lakeland and Tavares are cultivars of the limequat.The Thomasville citrangequat is a cold hardy citrus tree with good fruit and makes a great lime substitute with a kumquat/orange flavor. The tree is named for Thomasville, Georgia where it first fruited and is will tolerate temperatures to 5 degrees F once established.Citrus trees are self-fruitful and do not require cross-pollination, excepting Clementine tangerines and Orlando tangelos. The self-fruitful types of citrus may be grown as single trees in the landscape for aesthetics and fruit. They produce fruit best when grown in full sun, but large tree canopies can provide some degree of winter protection. Do not plant these trees near septic tanks or drain fields. Citrus trees do best in sandy loam soils with good drainage.Blossom, fruit, and leaf drop can be noticed in citrus and happens naturally. Such natural shedding of flowers and fruits prevents citrus from overproducing which minimizes stress to the plant. Citrus leaves remain intact for about two years and then drop. However, some leaf drop occurs throughout the year as is the case with most evergreens. Also, be aware of other causes for leaf drop and poor plant health such as environmental conditions, cultural practices, disorders, insects or diseases.If you elect to grow citrus in your home landscape, research your choice before purchasing in order to fully understand what is needed to keep the plants healthy and attractive. Look for citrus that are cold tolerant and do well in the south Georgia environment.Think in terms of native and sustainable plants in the landscape. Keep your hanging baskets and potted plants refreshed with water and food. Remember to feed and water the songbirds, and give your pets the care they need (protect them from this summer heat and humidity). Also, be on lookout for children playing and bicyclists riding along the streets and roadways throughout our communities. And remember to safely share the road with motorcycles. Drive alert and arrive alive. Don’t drive distracted or impaired, and don’t text while driving. Help the homeless every chanc... (Moultrie Observer)

New fad rocks Volusia with yearlong 'Easter egg' hunt

Giving Tree.” That one he kept. Many others he has decided to re-hide as a way to pass on the fun of the finds.Copelin carbon copied the idea from Lakeland, rolling it into Volusia County after unearthing a bunch of painted rocks near his sister’s Lakeland home. The back of the rocks directed him to visit the “Lakeland Rocks” Facebook page, where he found more than 30,000 members.Copelin’s VolusiaCountyRocks Facebook page, launched in mid-January, is ticking closer to 4,000 members with about 100 new members adding to the momentum each day.The page had 30 members the first time its founder posted that he planned to “rock” Port Orange City Center, or disseminate decorated rocks throughout the green space.Once the group began to more broadly vocalize its countywide game of hide-and-seek, “it really exploded,” Copelin said, explaining that the nearly instant craze has come from both social media chatter and the movement’s ability to catch word-of-mouth tailwinds.Now a stream of pictures showing rocks to be hidden or capturing the delight of children with stones they’ve found pour onto the VolusiaCountyRocks Facebook page almost hour by hour – connecting artists with explorers and bringing their experience full circle.The process of painting rocks, planting them and finding them has accelerated from fun to addictive for participants like Port Orange resident Nicole Sanchez, who spruces up rocks with her 7-year-old daughter, Navella, and also helps Copelin keep up with the flood of Facebook posts on the VolusiaCountyRocks page.“Seeing the joy in people’s faces when they find the rocks” is a big part of why Sanchez has painted rock after rock – too many to count.“You’re not getting instant gratification, but you know that you’re putting something out there and it’s something bigger than yourself,” she said.Sandy Jarvis, also of Port Orange, is just as jazzed about the movement behind the rocks, from which she often garners a sense of instant gratification.“You see your completed product quickly,” she said. “It’s not a long drawn-out process. Some of (the designs) are just really adorable, and it doesn’t take 10 minutes to paint them.”Jarvis’ designs span from cartoon faces and flowers to animals and landscapes and, like others involved, she gathers ideas from the Internet and Pinterest, where people in other cities swept by the rock hunts have posted their works of art.For Jarvis, who likens VolusiaCountyRocks to a “year-long Easter egg hunt,” the joy of painting rocks is nearly outweighed by the joy she sees in her grandkids and other children when they come across stones.“The kids are just so excited about it, and it’s just awesome to brighten the little kids’ day and see them running around the park,” she said.That’s the whole point – propelling kids and families off couches a...

Plant blue stars now for spring flowers

Propagate with seeds and by dividing plants in autumn. Plants and seeds are usually available online. Avocado tree deaths I’ve had reports from Lakeland concerning the deaths of mature avocado trees. In the cases described, the most likely culprit was ‘’wet feet,’’ a condition avocado tree roots can’t tolerate. Trees planted on slow-draining soils or too close to bodies of water may, as a result of this year’s heavy rainfall, have simply been unable to cope. In one instance, water from an oft-used washing machine was repeatedly drained near a decades-old tree that’s dying as a result. Join the International Palm Society The International Palm Society, founded by Florida’s own Dent Smith 60 years ago, is facing financial challenges. Despite membership that represents dozens of countries, the cost of publishing its amazingly informative magazine and providing grants for crucial palm conservation efforts exceeds revenues. For information about joining the society or making a tax-deductible contribution, visit www.Palms.org. Sky vine isn’t for small gardens Sky flower vine, named for its violet-blue blossoms that appear much of the year, is as well known for its vigor as its flowers. An evergreen species from India, sky flower (Thunbergia grandiflora) features dense foliage and five-lobed, bell-shaped blossoms 3 inches in diameter. At its best in full sun, this aggressive, clambering vine is ideal for adorning lengthy chain-link fences and good-sized arbors. It also looks beautiful draped over wooden fences and garden walls. As with most vines, sky flower, which doesn’t produce viable seed and is thus not invasive, needs no irrigation or fertilization once it’s established. Foliage is damaged by hard freezes. Propagate with warm-season cuttings and by transplanting rooted stems. Start composting When is the best time to start a compost pile? Today, because you can begin a compost pile any time of year, especially in Florida, where winters are mild.
