The Perseverance of New York City’s Wildflowers - The New York Times

North America for the first time in a single shipment to the Parsons & Sons Nursery in Flushing in 1862.Others came as stowaways, as the writer Allison C. Meier notes in the book’s introduction. In the 19th century, the botanist Addison Brown scoured the heaps of discarded ballast — earth and stones that weighed down ships — by city docks for unfamiliar blossoms, as he noted in an 1880 issue of the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club. During one July jaunt to Gowanus in Brooklyn, Mr. Brown noted purple sprouts of sticky nightshade...

Marilyn Schott Obituary - St. Petersburg, FL | Tampa Bay Times - Legacy.com

June 1949 at the historic St. James Episcopal Church in Elmhurst. In 1956, they moved into the comfortable Cape Cod style home that Frank built in Flushing, Queens. Marilyn's greatest joy was raising her children. She loved being a mother, teaching Sunday School at the First Presbyterian Church of Flushing as well as being a Teacher's Assistant in the New York school system. In 1984, Marilyn and Frank retired and moved to Dunedin, FL. They were avid travelers and took 35 ocean cruises and excursions to various ports around the world, including Hawaii, the Panama Canal, Mexico, Bermuda and most of the Caribbean. Their many journeys brought them great joy. Marilyn and Frank cruised so often that they received a Holland America cruise medallion for each sailing over 300 days. Upon moving to Shipwatch in early 2000, Marilyn enjoyed life in general. You could find her playing bridge, poker, or bingo, or attending many concerts at Ruth Eckerd Hall, especially when her favorite singer, Johnny Mathis sang love songs to which she and her devoted husband danced under the stars. Johnny Mathis would often end his concerts with an encore song "You'll Never Know", which was Marilyn and Frank's wedding song. She loved her friends, family pets, and her collectibles, especially turtles and giraffes. Marilyn was truly blessed with "a life well lived". Marilyn is survived by her daughter, Karen (Thomas) Head and family, of Schenevus, NY; two sons, Timothy (Patricia) Schott of Leesburg, VA; her primary caregiver, Wendell Schott of Belleair Beach, FL; several grandchildren, including Elisabeth (Adam) Ferguson of New York, NY, and Timothy Schott of Leesburg, VA; nieces and nephews, in...

Where to find flowers at NYC restaurants, bars and coffee shops - Time Out

You can order dishes from a street-front window or at a table near all the plants for sale. 135-26 Roosevelt Ave, Flushing, NY 11354 Cafe Erzulie / Flowers by Leslie According the cafe’s website, “Erzulie is the haitian voodou spirit of love, beauty, and dance.” Expect daily bites such as a baguette lathered with spicy Haitian peanut butter and apricot brittle, plantains stuffed with mushrooms. In addition, there’s live music, hangouts in the lush, verdant backyard, and lively conversation. As one of Bed-Stuy’s best day-date spots, it makes sense then, that you can even pick up flowers for your hunny at the attached floral shop called Flowers by Leslie. The florist, Rodridgo Reyes, has been in the area since 2000, and almost left the neighborhood. But Cafe Erzulie came up with an idea to combine Reyes’ shop with its offerings, expanding the joint feeling of community in both spaces. 894 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11206 Sycamore Bar + Flower Shop This South Brooklyn bar operates by a Charles Bukowski quote that goes, “the people look like flowers at last.” For a moment, you might really feel like one, when you’re in the presence of such a special, neighborhood spot. The cozy, Ditmas Park bar has fries, checkerboard floors, board games, and, yes, flowers. The attached shop is called Honeysuckle Hill, which sells bouquets and claims to be Brooklyn’s “only flower shop in a bar.” 1118 Cortelyou Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11218 Sounds Sounds is a design shop selling joyful, colorful ceramics, jewelry, incense holders and zines that also function as a coffee bar with all the artisanal caffeine options, teas and, yes, even a slushie machine. But at the front, you’ll also find some of our favorite flowers in the city: lurid-colored dried flowers that look like Cheetos, orchids, and more. The team just added a loyalty cards for stems; if you spend $90, you’ll receive $10 to spend on stems the next time you come in. Oh, and its here you'll find one of the best backyards at a Brooklyn coffee shop, filled with more plants. 157 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215 La Mercerie At this gorgeous navy SoHo French restaurant, flowers play a huge role in the feeling of aspirational grandeur, noticeably crafted by the same design team behind other glamorous Manhattan hits like Lafayette and Le Coucou. La Mercerie also shares its home with Roman and Williams Guild, a shop selling assorted wares (many of which that diners use during service) and its very own in-house flower shop called Emily Thompson Flowers. We love its tagline, "Fleeting beauty you can take out into the world." Francophiles may enjoy bringing home some of the ritz from La Mercerie to style their homes with. 53 Howard St, New York, NY 10013 Bohaus Founded in 2016, this flower shop with single-origin coffee focuses on fresh cut flowers (available as grab ‘n go, both by the stem and a bouquet) as well as dried flowers, succulents, air plants and other houseplant options that don’t try and price gouge. The space may be small but its charming in the fin...

Sunflowers in October? Breeders are racing to develop plants that flower again and again. - The Washington Post

August and even a clematis that produces its bell-like blooms until frost.Roses have always been pushed by breeders to re-bloom, but the days of them flushing every eight weeks or so have been replaced by near continuous display.The floral conveyor belt may upend our sense of a garden’s seasonality, but the breeders, growers and marketers are confident that homeowners will be drawn to the continuous displays like bees to nectar. They already are.More than 2.6 million of Lee’s creations are sold annually, and their popularity is squeezing out traditional evergreen azalea offerings.Garden centers are reducing classic offerings, said Kip McConnell, director of Plant Development Services, which has brought Encore Azalea to market. It works with 70 licensed growers, who also grow ornamentals for others, and many of them have dropped spring-only azaleas in favor of re-bloomers, he said. “It’s been a big transition.”There may be purists who feel a garden is characterized and made more interesting by a parade of blooming plants adhering to their own season, but such a view may not be widely shared.“Anything that gives gardeners more confidence and gratification is good for the world of horticulture,” said David Roberts, head breeder at Bailey Innovations. “It makes it easier even for a novice gardener to feel successful, and that drives the industry.”The company is the plant development arm of Bailey Nurseries, which markets the Endless Summer brand of re-blooming hydrangeas, represented by five varieties. Since their introduction in 2004, almost 30 million plants have been sold.Shrubs that bloom in spring, such as azaleas, must get their flower buds through the winter. Summer-flowering shrubs flower from new growth, so the key to developing ever bloomers is to find plants that do both. All those years ago, Lee noticed that some azalea varieties had a tendency to flower sporadically in the fall, so he crossed those with a summer-blooming azalea from Taiwan (and many others along the way). The 31 he and McConnell have introduced were selected from tens of thousands of seedlings Lee has made over the past four decades.Another way to keep a plant flowering is to give it sterile flowers. Denied successful pollination, it keeps producing blossoms.Proven Winners Re-blooming lilac Bloomerang Dark Purple. Proven Winners Hydrangea Let's Dance Rave.
