Flower shop hands out free bouquets for a purpose - WHSV

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) — Visitors at the Walmart on Burgess Road in Harrisonburg on Monday morning were in for a surprise. Harmony Harvest Farm handed out free bouquets of flowers to raise awareness of proposed federal legislation that would require federal agencies to only procure cut flowers and greens produced within the United States. "As a flower farm within the U.S., we are trying to spread a little awareness for niche agriculture enterprise and this bill that helps support American flower farms," said Jessica Hall, one of the owners. As of right now, the United States is the world's largest importer of cut flowers, accounting for about $1.73 billion worth of global imports in 2016. Domestically grown flowers make up a much smaller portion of the U.S. flower market. Hall added July is American-Grown Flower Month. Harmony Har...

Messenger photo by Joe Duty Surrounded by fresh bouquets of flowers and a silk and trinket assembly line, Jane Burgess remembers her first mum like it was yesterday. It was the 1960s.

A beautiful memory and a beautiful mum she’ll never forget. “I still think about that mum,” Burgess said. “It is the prettiest one I’ve ever seen.” Flash forward more than 50 years and Burgess is still attempting to recapture the mum that brought her so much joy. She will be busy in the weeks ahead. It’s officially mum season as Wise County schools celebrate their annual homecomings. Decatur, Boyd and Paradise celebrated last week. This wee...

Butterfly Guy: Winter's Showiest Plants

Tropical hydrangea or dombeya burgessiae.(Photo: contributor) The Dombeya burgessiae (Seminole) puts on one of the best flower shows of any shrub in Florida. It is sometimes called the tropical hydrangea because its flowers are similar to the hydrangeas we know from up north. The flowers are pink to rose color and bloom from fall to spring. Last year they bloomed all the way into June. Dombeya Seminole is a large shrub growing seven feet tall and wide but pruning can keep it at any height.  I usually cut my dombeya down to about four feet after the spring bloom so it remains manageable all year. If we happen to get cold temperatures here it will rebound quickly and continue on its blooming way. This shrub will grow in full sun to partial-shade and will tolerate Florida soil without amending. The more sun the fuller the shrub with maximum flowers. It is also fairly drought tolerant once established. Propagation can be done by air-layering or six inch cuttings rooted in perlite, coarse sand or peat moss. Dombeya Se... (Naples Daily News)
