Orbs! Here an orb, there an orb, everywhere an orb!
Carnations orbs are one of the table top decor styles we do best, and it is a very hot trend in the industry right now. Carnations are an all season, affordable and easy flower to work with that come in many many mnay colors. These red orbs are for a mock dinner party table setting which will be our display at the New York in Bloom floral show at the NYS Museum in Albany this weekend.
Finally some fresh flowers! but hold the applause... What are the top two things that run through your mind when you think about buying a bouquet of flowers for dining room table?
Probably
1. They are so pretty!
2. They smell so good!
The second is what concerns me... many commercially grown flowers do not have a scent anymore. It is out of habit that a person picks up a bouquet or a single stem of flowers and shoves their nose deep within and takes a large inhale... bu there's no sweet smell. This is the result of genetically modified floral crops. I am not pro or anti this industry practice. But it is a tradeoff , you either get a flower that lasts for a couple days and fils your dwelling with a wonderfully intoxicating smell or you can have a flower that lasts two weeks with no scent.
What would you rather have?

Petal Picking: I love my job, not so much, I love my job, not so much...
This blog is meant to be an account of the daily events of my college internship and a floriculture educational tool. And as much as I want this to focus on the floral industry and the advantages of real world work experience that are offered through participating in an internship, I have a feeling it might become a slightly comical view into my personal life as a tree huggin', plant lovin', flower pickin', dirt diggin' horticulturist... I'll let you be the judge.
