August is Romance Awareness Month and Huisman Flowers as the caring Custom Floral Collection to choose from

Huisman Flowers

August is Romance Awareness Month. Huisman Flowers specializes in creating the most caring, romantic and sweet flower arrangements in town. Often people think only of Valentine’s Day as the one day per year when special romance takes place.

The beauty of Romance Awareness Month is that it provides a mid year reminder that romance should always be present. Huisman Flowers and our creative Floral Designers are standing by to help you select a super romantic flower arrangement for your special person.

If you want to do more in addition to giving beautiful Huisman Flowers flowers, below are a few simple activities. Remember that often it is the simple things that mean the most.

How romantic an evening stroll can be. Of course it is August so perhaps wait until sunset and bring water.
Almost everyone enjoys a good movie. Pick the style you and your special one enjoy and then go to the theatre or rent a movie at home.
If you are a good writer, create a love letter or poem and leave it where they will find it.
Are you a pretty good cook? If so delight your sweetie with their favorite home cooked meal.
Sweets for the sweet. Surprise your special someone with their very favorite desert.
Take time to talk to one another and share perhaps their favorite trait that you just love.
You do not have to go to a loud concert or night club. Quiet time together can be very peaceful and renewing.
How many couples go to bed at different times. Instead for Romance Awareness Month, try going to bed at the same time. Maybe read your favorite books together.

This National Parent’s Day, surprise your parents with a lovely fresh and caring flower arrangement from Huisman Flowers. We are a family run business and prepare beautiful flower arrangements. We take special care in every arrangement we create. You can be sure your parents will feel the love.

Our parents are influential people in our life. They have selflessly given up their time to make sure we are cared for and provided with the proper tools to make it in this competitive world. Since the early 1900s, parents have long been celebrated. Now we officially have Mother’s and Father’s days to be observed.

In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution that effectively created National Parent’s Day. President Clinton felt it was important to publicly recognize the supporting role all parents play in the rearing of their children.

Giving a beautiful and caring flower bouquet from Huisman Flowers to your parents is a great start. You might want to hand deliver as an in person visit is always welcome. If it is not geographically practical to visit in person, then have the Huisman Flowers conveniently same day delivered and add a phone call as an added touch. The caring act of showing them how much they mean will be so powerful in their hearts.

At some point in many adolescent lives, teenagers may feel like their parents are out of touch. As we look back on lessons learned and sacrifices given from parents, it is easy to see that they really did understand and were very wise.

What a perfect way to celebrate a holiday. In today’s world while travel is still somewhat disrupted, you might not be able to easily fly them away to their favorite destination but you could certainly arrange a small gathering for a Parent’s Day party. Bring out some of your favorite photos and cook their favorite foods. They will have a good time and so will you. Not to mention you will make a new lasting memory.

Most of us cannot remember swaddling clothes, being fed and burped or long nights where our parents stayed up holding and rocking us back to sleep. If you have kids or grand kids, you no doubt grasp the full personal sacrifice of sleep deprivation. And how many times when you needed a friend and unconditional love did you seek advice from a parent regarding problems at school or just in general?

So on this upcoming National Parent’s Day, find a special way to reach out to your Mom and Dad. The wonderful and talented floral designers at Huisman Flowers are eager to assist with the most caring flowers you will find.

Huisman Flowers

Succulents make amazing and unique summer decorations. They are also great conversation pieces due to the many shapes, colors and varieties. Huisman Flowers offers an array of Succulents to choose from. Our very talented, professional and caring floral designers will help you find the perfect patio or poolside Succulent.

These exquisite plants are very drought resistant. Succulents are able to absorb and retain large amounts of water and so the leaves, stems and roots often get a very fleshy appearance. The water retainage allows these plants to survive very hot and arid conditions.

Below are a few of the many colorful and interesting varieties of Succulent Plants:

Burro’s Tail – This cool plant grows to about four inches long and yes resembles a donkey’s tail. They are not hard to care for and do best in a container that drains well.

Crown of Thorns – These enjoy being close to a window to receive about three to four hours of sunlight per day. When its soil is completely dry it is time to water. One myth about the Crown of Thorns comes from Thailand where it is thought that the more flowers that bloom the better future the plant owner will have.

Flaming Katy – How about a plant from Madagascar? The Flaming Katy does best when temperatures are between 60 to 80 degrees and they enjoy well draining clay pots. They have dark red, gold and white flowers if allowed to have eight to ten hours of sunlight.

Aloe Vera – Most everyone has heard of Aloe Vera. There are medical ointments made from the juices of this plant. People use it for scrapes and burns as well as some cosmetics. Of course it can make an attractive house plant as well with its thick, pointed leaves that are variegated with spots of white.

Panda Plant – The Panda Plant is an interesting houseplant and topic of discussion. It actually has fuzzy leaves that have brownish red markings on the edges thus making it resemble a panda. Long living many people use them in hanging planters.

Pincushion Cactus – Native to Mexico, the spikes on this plant give this cactus its name. It does not grow beyond six inches tall but still can give a dessert feel to any home.

Hens-and-Chicks – Although they have a relatively short life span of three years this succulent produces red flowers in the shape of a crown. It does produce offspring thus the name Hens- and-Chicks. It is said to live forever due to its reproductive ability.

Stonecrop – These come in numerous colors of green, pink and blue. Some of them grow tall while other varieties are more like creeping vines.

Ball Cactus – The ball cactus only grows to two feet tall and has the unique shape of a hot air balloon. These are great for patio pots and produce yellow flowers.

Pig’s Ear – Growing to heights of four feet the Pig’s Ear succulent has thick oval leaves with red edges. It requires little water but does take up a lot of garden space.

Sunburst –The sunburst succulent is native to the Canary Islands so it does best in an ocean air environment. It has three basic colors of green, white and yellow variegated leaves and grows to a height of two feet.

Torch Plant – Having light green leaves that turn darker in the full sun, the Torch Plant also produces orange colored blossoms and can grow to heights of ten feet feet.
