The Best Florists in New York - Curbed

The shop — founded by floral designer Miho Kosuda and her daughter Carol — is also a longtime favorite of Carolina Herrera. It’s not surprising that Miho’s arrangements (from $150) tend to be on the extravagant side, like hundred-flower bouquets featuring one color scheme and one bloom, such as roses, tulips, or anemones. (She once created an arrangement for designer Bill Blass consisting of 660 mango-colored calla lilies.)

The color and fragrance of the Carolina jasmines and American violets are attracting them as they sample the amber, fragrant, blooms of jasmines for some of the season’s first nectar. Alaska fish emulsion is great organic food for vegetables and flowers, A great liquid and plant vegetable food for all seasons is Alaska fish emulsion. It can be purchased in quart bottles at hardwares, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Ace Hardware, and garden shops. It is very organic and can be mixed according to instructions on the bottle, poured into a sprinkling can and poured around the base of plants, vegetables and flowers. It definitely smells like fish, so pinch your nose while you are applying it. Plants respond quickly to an application of Alaska fish emulsion. Saving spray bottles for summer growing season.

Art in Focus: Palmetto with Flowers - Greenville Journal

Artist: Jamie Herndon Palmetto with Flowers GJ: How were you contacted to create this piece? JH: South Carolina Artists forwarded the call for art from the Mauldin Cultural Council. I have been a member for eight years with SCA. GJ: What is the inspiration for this piece? JH: The executive director of SCA, Alexandra White, gave me a push to create it after having my son. I was on maternity leave recovering from a c-section when the idea began. In memory of the Charleston church shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and the overall theme of strength and resilience shown by South Carolinians during a recent flood at the time, I proposed to use the South Carolina palm tree adorned with handmade blacksmithed flowers, leaves and stems centered on a steel base.

GJ: What materials did you use to create this statue? JH: The materials chosen were aluminum an...
