Flowers by Adela

Delivery: Flowers By Adela delivers to Missouri City, Sugar Land, Richmond, Rosenberg, Katy, Fulshear, Fresno, Rosharon, Meadows Place, Houston, Bellaire, Needville and the Texas Medical Center. In 1999, Ohl and her husband, Olan, bought the business from Adela Pendergrass, who opened Flowers By Adela on Feb. 1, 1977, at 3756 Cartwright Road and then opened a Sugar Land store five years later. By 2012, Ramona and Olan’s daughters, Olivia Ohl-Lara and Odessa Ohl, were working for the business full time. Flowers by Adela lists among its clients all Fort Bend ISD schools and the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce. Designs range from roses to tropical and artificial plants. Same-day delivery for orders placed by 3 p.m. is available. Out-of-state and international customers place orders for their friends or relatives who live in the area, Odessa said. “I even have this lady—she probably does this two times a year—she calls from London,” she said. The business has weathered two recessions in the Greater Houston area. The Ohls saw a drop in orders when the price of oil plummeted two years ago. So how has the business managed to stay afloat? “By the grace of God,” Odessa said. Web searches and social media now generate nearly 85 percent of customer orders, Ohl-Lara said. The Ohls are uncertain what the future holds for them. Olivia and Odessa said the long hours that require them to stay on their feet make it a physically demanding job. “It’s very hard work,” Ohl-Lara said. “You’re dealing with perishables … you can’t sit on these for a long period of time.” But the Ohls said a florist provides significant experience for the workplace and also for life in general. “We try to give everybody personal service and make it right,” Ohl-Lara said.

The Bellaire city council on Dec. 7 said it supported the Citizens for a Beautiful Bellaire's $230,000 of beautification proposals and instructed the group to continue working on the details and strategies necessary to implement its suggestions Citizens spokesman John Monday said he anticipates the group will be back to council in February with more concrete requests and that work should begin in earnest at that time. The group, Citizens for a Beautiful Bellaire, began its work back in August promising to bring council a list of proposed beautification improvements and photos every 90 days. The council subsequently created a $300,000 budget line item for beautification. Citizens presented $230,000 worth of suggestions on Nov. 11 and the council was to deliberate those on Dec. 7. "Our intent is to identify short-term and long-term maintenance and repair items that have been neglected, overlooked or otherwise are contributing to what I call the shabby look of the city," said Monday, who serv...
