Last night I wrote about Kohler’s $6000 overflowing bathtub that has been added to my Dream List, but now have a more practical and traditional suggestion for Valentine’s Day.
How about some award-winning and long-lasting flowers?
Our friend, Marian Meyers with the infectious smile and impeccable taste in wine and food, owns FlowerGram, an online service that just took top honors in beauty and lasting floral freshness. It was a War of the Roses contest conducted by New York’s ABC Channel 7 affiliate. They compared several online sellers of flowers, and FlowerGram’s bouquet took top honors (and was also one of the most reasonable in cost). It was the only bouquet to earn a coverted “A” and to last a full week.
To keep those Valentine roses fresh for the longest period of time, the flower lady advises to immediately cut the stems with a sharp knife (scissors might mash the stem), place in fresh water with a drop of bleach to kill unwanted bacteria, and repeat the process in a couple of days.
Am I surprised that Marian’s flowers are lusher and last longer than anyone else’s? Absolutely not! If you were to snag an invitation to one of Marian and Roger’s parties, you would understand what I mean. We hope to see them in Encinitas tonight. Let’s hope for flaming sunsets and outstanding wine!
