Coronavirus hit California's cut-flower industry at the worst time - Los Angeles Times

Advertisement Mellano said he laid off more than 90% of his staff and went into survival mode, hoping to gear up his Southern California and Las Vegas distribution hub when the market revives.There probably won’t be a grand reopening for Lompoc-based Ocean View Flowers, which produced 40 million stems only two years ago. Its produce-growing parent company, Santa Barbara Farms, closed the flower operation permanently, according to company and industry sources. Eufloria, whose boutique roses have adorned New Year’s Day floats in Pasadena and thoroughbred horses at Churchill Downs, announced it would shut down its Nipomo farm on March 18. It laid off most of its workers and donated unsold stems to hospitals and nursing homes.But such was the outcry from fans and clients, Eufloria reopened two days later. Advertisement “We are starting to bring some of that employment back,” sales manager Chad Nelson said. “We want to make sure that we’re doing things to keep [plants] producing the way that they should, and if and when this market does come back, then figure out how we can handle those orders.” Coastal farms from San Diego County through Humboldt County likewise laid off most of their workers and went into dormancy at the very time when they usually earn the bulk of revenue — the string of holidays from Valentine’s Day through Mother’s Day. Chain groceries were among the first to cancel orders, said F.J. Trzuskowski, vice president of sales for Washington-based Continental Floral Greens, which grows the “supporting cast” green foliage for bouquets on three California farms. Advertisement “There was no forewarning of this. It was like, ‘Hey, stop all shipments starting now,’” Trzuskowski said. “Then with social distancing, all of a sudden the wholesaler can’t be open to the public. It was a very quick stop to the industry.”Mellano said he also was hit hard by cancellations of events such as conferences, particularly in Las Vegas. Weddings were put off, along with their roses, said Eufloria’s Nelson.“Maybe they didn’t happen right now, but they’re going to happen, right?” he said. “We just don’t know what size they’re going to be when they do happen. Budgets are going to be different.” Advertisement The California Cut Flower Commission has told its members that floriculture is protected under the agricultural exemption to closure orders. But with the collapse of the distribution pipeline, the clarification amounts to a technicality. Los Angeles’ historic flower market, like others around the nation, is a ghost town. “We’ve got wholesale companies closi...

Cosentino: On the phrase 'in lieu of flowers' - Auburn Citizen

In fact, with virtually all tragic events, the same script plays out. Think Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Las Vegas, Parkland and the Pittsburgh Synagogue ... and the list of mass tragedies goes on. In all these cases, flowers served as the salve to soothe the collective souls of a grieving public.And it is not just tragedies on this scale, either. When dignitaries’ lives end, tragically or not, impromptu floral memorials appear as if from ether. John Lennon, Princess Diana and John McCain comprise a small part of the list that illustrates the point.Even in our local communities across the nation, unexpected deaths inspire floral tributes. Bouquets dot our highways where accidents claimed the lives of motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. Just watch the news and see the piles of flowers laid in memoriam when, in this world of ours, a child or young person’s life is cut tragically short in the violence we see all too often.So, why is it that with the deaths of those we love the most — our wives, husbands, children and grandparents — today’s social norms insist on the phrase “in lieu of flowers.”.modal-backdrop.in { filter: alpha(opacity=90); opacity: .9; background-color: #fff; } #lee-services-modal .dismiss-paywall { font-size: 50px; margin-top: -10px; z-index: 1; color: #000; opacity: .3; float: right; font-weight: 300; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; line-height: 1; } #lee-services-modal .dismiss-paywall:hover { opacity: .6; } #lee-services-modal .dismiss-paywall:hover { opacity: .6; } #lee-services-modal .modal-content { box-shadow: 0 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,.1); border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.1); border-radius: 3px; } #lee-services-modal { font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif; } #lee-services-modal .modal-body { min-height: 300px; } #lee-services-modal .close { font-size: 30px; margin-top: -8px; z-index:1; } #lee-services-modal .modal-top { margin: 0 -15px 20px -15px; padding: 15px; z-index:0; border-bottom: 3px double rgba(0,0,0,.1); } #lee-services-modal .title { font-size: 24px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-weight: 700; } #lee-services-modal .logo img { max-height: 50px; max-width: 50%;...

Mourners gather at park to remember UNLV student found shot to death - Las Vegas Review-Journal

Scores of faces glowed in the flicker of candlelight. Friends and family gathered Thursday night at Desert Horizons Park in North Las Vegas to remember Paula Davis, the 19-year-old woman who was found shot to death at the park on Sept. 6. They shared stories of Davis’ kindness, talent, sense of humor and love for others. “There’s no string of words that can come from my lips to reach your ears that I feel does justice to the person I knew and loved,” 20-year-old Joseph Rios told the crowd. A makeshift memorial for Davis sat in parking spaces at the park near Simmons Street and Gowan Road. A black-and-white photo of her in a camouflage shirt stood above flowers and candles that spelled out the UNLV student’s name. Standing near the memorial, Davis’ father, Sean, thanked the detectives who worked on his daughter’s case. Officers watched from the back of the crowd. “On behalf of the family, I can say that you don’t think about all of those things that are part of what you might need at one point in your life, but when you do, that is a great comfort,” he said. Police arrested 21-year-old Giovanni Ruiz on Tuesday in ...

Gardening: Classic Gomphrena remains popular after hundreds of years - The Detroit News

Bidens, Zinnia ‘Zahara’ and marigolds last summer in the OPC display garden in Rochester. A new selection, ‘Las Vegas Purple’, a vivid plum purple sporting small round flowers on a plant that has an upright growth habit, rising to 18 inches in height, is on my wish list. Though the flowers are relatively small and ball shaped, they attract attention because of their neon color. These and other Gomphrena are popular for use as cut flowers and are easily dried for use in wreaths and other everlasting arrangements that will last for years. New this season is a vegetative selection of Gomphrena, ‘Truffula Pink,’ from Proven Winners. It's a compact grower that produces bright pink flowers similar to the tall, bright pink see-through plant Gomphrena ‘Fireworks’ that also starred in the OPC display garden last season. Rising to 18 to 24 inches, it works well in garden plantings and containers and garnered rave reviews in trial gardens last year. Gomphrena thrive in full sun and hot weather and grow best in moist but well-drained soil. They don’t tolerate wet soil and are best watered at ground level.
