Popular Christmas 2009 Bouquets ~ The Main Way

Teleflora and Main Floral bring you

great floral choices this Christmas!

     

  Deliver your merry wishes with a Main Floral Christmas creation!  Christmas brings us warm and fuzzy feelings to the month of December.  To celebrate we give Gifts of Joy, Bake Christmas Cookies, and Deck the Halls with Holly.  This time of year our Flower bouquets are jazzed up in the holiday spirit. The Holiday cheer embellishments of candy canes, sparkling gold and silver ornaments, velvety ribbons and holiday spices just make us giddy.  Winter greenery of pine and cedar give us wonderous scent, bringing us back to our child hood with one little sniff.  For family gatherings of these joyous holidays, a floral momento or Christmas centerpiece would simply be the icing on the cake. 

This year of 2009, we have the new Teleflora Christmas designs available while supplies last.  ♦ Teleflora’s Mixing Bowl is one of two variations.  The decorative gingerbread man ceramic is filled with cinnamon sticks, wooden mixing spoons,  pine cones, white or snowflake chrysanthemums, premium red roses and holly berries.  Check out the other variation “Christmas cookie” on our website. ♦ Our Lenox Holly-Day Bouquet is something rather elegant, with its high class Lenox bowl and golden accents, it really shows its value.  ♦ Our Gift of Joy Bouquet is just plain fun with specialty peppermint carnations, candy canes and a stripedy style gift box.

We’re sorry… We recently sold out of our Gift of Joy container.  A similar style and value can be designed for you.

 

Flowers and Plants, Freeze and Frost Bite

Floral bouquets and plants can be damaged by colder temperatures

Sadly, It is common that we see poinsettias leaving the supermarket uncovered in the winter.  Retail store employees are simply not educated on the cold weather effect on live plants and flowers.  Unfortunately, neither are the consumers.  Here at Main Floral, we diligently wrap our fresh bouquets, plants and poinsettia before sending them on their way in the winter months.  Sometimes our customers say “There’s no need to go to all the trouble, I’m parked near by.”  So, quite often we explain to them why we are taking such measures to protect their purchase.  Flowers and Plants can be easily shocked by cold temperatures. Frost bite may damage them within seconds.  If you ever wondered why your flowers looked great when bought them, but wilted and turned ugly shortly after getting home, it could have very well been caused by transporting them without any protection.  The results would be even worse if they were sitting in a cold car for an hour or more!  When the temperature is hovering just over 32 degrees, we completely wrap them head to toe in tissue and plastic or paper.  When the temperature drops below 20 degrees we double wrap them, sometimes triple wrap them.  Most Florists in colder climates understand this crucial importance and should educate their customers.  When we see flowers leaving someplace without precautionary care, we cringe at the thought that those flowers have been wasted and will be unsatisfactory within a few hours time.  Imagine the disappointment that was completely avoidable with the right knowledge.  Please Pass it on.

Autumn Twilight ~ Teleflora Florist Minnesota

 

Autumn Twilight

It’s really amazing if you think about it… the Sun breathes life into our flowers, trees and crops.  But not only that, Our planet’s growth is in sync with the Sun.  At dusk the Sun seems to blanket its dusty light upon the fields and gardens.  As if  it were tucking them in for the night…  Flowers can actually close up and rest… and in late Autumn Our Plants and Trees don’t die…
they just hibernate until the Sun warmly says “Wake up” in the Spring. 
Isn’t it amazing?
May you be enlightened and thankful for our Sun,
Earth, Moon and Stars this Thanksgiving Holiday!

People who deserve more than flowers~ Wildlife Rescue MN

This is a totally random blog about people who deserve even more than flowers… it’s about the people who care for our great Minnesota wildlife.

The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (of Roseville Minnesota) was there to lend a helping hand to us when we needed them.  They mend the wounds and rehabilitate our injured wildlife.  No creature is worth less to them, they give TLC  around the clock to many different helpless and orphaned animals including Birds, waterfowl, and small mammals. WRC is sending them back into the wild good as new.  We thought we’d pass on the good news about WRC to say Thank You.  Check out their website www.wrcmn.org.  If you can, please volunteer or contribute to make a difference.  Also check out this heart warming Swift release, simply science article and video from kare11.com!  For more WRC related video and news visit WRC in the News. 
Keep up the great work Wildlife Rehabilitation Center!

Decorating Tips For Halloween ~ from the Halloween Capital of the World

Anoka, The Halloween Capital of the World

Because we’re from Anoka, We thought we’d pass on few decorating Ideas for Halloween Parties.

 Most importantly Have fun with it like you were a kid again!  Set the mood with lights, lots of candles and creepy colored light bulbs such as black lights, and flickering lights.  Keep candles safe!.. away from little hands and long hair.  Having a  fire extinguisher near by just in case is a good idea.  Get creative with material.  A garage can be a carefree zone where anything goes.  Securely fasten or staple darkening material or fabric to walls ceilings and more.  Patio furniture has to come in any way, why not use it one last time for a festive party.  Old furniture really helps, maybe you have an old hutch or dresser that is doing nothing but collecting dust in the basement, these kinds of things can be imperfect in their condition, but perfect for such an occasion. whether your room is modeled after a witch’s chamber, haunted house, wizardly palace or a fortune teller’s den, old unused furniture really helps set the stage.  Little touches like cobwebbed or dusty mirrors and framed pictures take on a new life just by tilting them a bit.  Spider webs and anything that glows really takes it up a notch.  Decorating can be hard work but if you brainstorm and work with a helper, this Halloween decorating will be well worth the extra effort.  And of course, if you need a spooktacular flower centerpiece, visit your local florist!  Check out our teleflora Halloween selections online at www.mainfloral.net
