Oct 15, 2020The Artists Giving New Life to Fake Flowers - The New York Times
John Derian, the home décor shop in Manhattan’s East Village. The Berkeley, Calif., artist Anandamayi Arnold, 45, makes everything from pomegranates to irises (rhizome included) covered in richly hued crepe paper. Her decorative blooms also double as party favors: The hollow insides hold secret trinkets like friendship bracelets and stickers.Then there’s Sourabh Gupta, 30, who grew up in northern India, and who constructs his microscopically detailed blooms — Queen Anne’s lace, lady’s slippers and hellebore anchored in distressed terra-cotta or stone pots — in his Brooklyn studio, using everyday materials: Petals are made from paper towels hand-painted with food dye, coffee and tea; stamens are made from kitchen sponges. Boulder, Colo.-based Stephanie Redlinger, 39, a former graphic designer who launched her paper botanical atelier, the Florasmith, in San Francisco in 2015, considers her flowers and the mushrooms she has perfected, made primarily from crepe paper embellished with materials like sand, “as botanical portrait or homage” — realistic but with an emphasis on each creation’s essential quirks, such as a poppy’s wrinkles. The paper artist Zoe Bradley, 47, whose studio is in Cowbridge, near Cardiff, Wales, takes a more abstract, performative approach to her flowers. She began her career at the fashion house Alexander McQueen, where she built wooden legs and fan-shaped corsets for one of the designer’s elaborate runway shows, and her psychedelic-meets-origami blossoms, which she creates from stiff metallic paper, have been displayed in the windows of London stores including Liberty and Harrods.And then there’s Tiffanie Turner, based in Fairfax, Calif., who is widely acknowledged as the progenitor and doyenne of the new generation of paper-flower makers, teaching popular workshops on the subject. She shows her work in galleries and museums, like the a...
Apr 27, 2019Passover flowers arranged with love by Summit students - Canadian Jewish News

The Adath is one of the synagogues that serves as a pick-up point. Its senior rabbi, Michael Whitman, is an admirer of TECC Flora and its enthusiastic students.
“We were delighted to partner with Summit School,” he said. “Not only will we enjoy these flowers for their beauty and aroma, but we appreciate them even more for the beauty and strength of each of these young people who are working hard to improve their lives and the lives of those around them.”
Four choices were offered specifically for Passover: cut flowers in a vase, a bouquet of varying shades of pink, a spring bulb selection in a bowl and various single succulents in a tubular glass container, ranging in price from $18 to $50.
Each order comes with a tag explaining that TECC Flora provides an opportunity for Summit students to gain work experience. They also develop fine motor and social skills and learn to solve problems in a supportive environment through a creative and hands-on experience.
The students are involved in the entire process, from accompanying Surplice to the flower market to make selections and become familiar with pricing and how much to buy at a time, to cutting and arranging, to marketing and customer service.
These are all valuable skills no matter what job path the students eventually take, said Surplice.
TECC Flora takes orders for any holiday or occasion and can customize them. It is becoming a popular supplier for weddings and bar mitzvahs, and has had other big orders, such as VIA Rail asking for 200 arrangements for Valentine’s Day.
Summit director-general Herman Erdogmus is pleased with how TECC Flora has taken off. “It’s a beautiful program,” he said, “not only beautiful in the sense that the arrangements are incredible, but that we’re helping to create independent young adults.”
Director of development Stu Guttman agrees: “With every order from the community, it’s an opportunity for these students to ply their trade and gain valuable experience.”

Oct 26, 2018Tropical Gardening: Protea flowers are a rare treat from Down Under
Norman Nagata, plant pathologists, examined fungicides for the control of root rot, a disease problem in Protea production.
Ronald Mau and Arnold Hara, entomologists, helped solve some of the pest problems, including those that could lead to the rejection of shipments to other areas.
Philip Ito, a Hilo-based horticulturist, worked on new types of Protea for the world market.
Robert Paull, a plant physiologist, solved problems arising during shipping and ways to extend Protea shelf life.
Of course, all these efforts became meaningful because of key Protea growers, who developed a good marketing system and took research to action.
So, you see the intriguing Protea blossoms on display in homes and places of business such as hotels didn't just happen. They are the result of concerted efforts by Hawaii's agricultural scientists and growers working together to develop another fine Hawaii-grown product with tremendous potential.
Most Proteas require cool climates on the drier side of the Big Island, like Waimea, Volcano, upland West Hawaii and Maui. They prefer well-drained soils. When grown in wet or humid locations, disease and pests become a problem.
Even if you are not interested in growing Proteas commercially, you can be certain that these gorgeous and exotic flowers are perfect to enhance your home and garden or as a special, long-lasting gift.
If you receive some as a gift, remember Proteas have another advantage besides their remarkable attractiveness.
They can be easily dried and enjoyed for a long time to come. All you have to do is remove the water from the container when the flowers start to lose their freshness and allow the flowers to dry into a permanent arrangement.
Another method is to hang the flowers upside down for about a month, and then use them in a dry flower arrangement.
To eliminate the possibility of mold setting in during drying, space the flowers out to allow a good circulation of air. This latter method is especially suited to types that have a tendency to bend over as they lose their freshness.
If you are not familiar with Protea, ask your local florist to show you the various types now being produced, what each is called and how long they will last. If you're looking for something special, Proteas are worth checking out.
Other long-lasting floral gifts include dendrobium, cymbidium orchids, anthuriums, birds of paradise, heliconias and other flowering Hawaii exotics.
