At Huisman Flowers, Our Caring Flowers are Perfect to Celebrate International Day of Friendship on July 30th.

Huisman Flowers provides local same day and express flower delivery service to Christ Memorial Reformed Church

Celebrated on July 30th each year since 2011, International Day of Friendship has become a popular worldwide holiday.  There is so much diversity in this world with cultures and beliefs. Having an Internationally recognized day for people to stop, celebrate and promote understanding in human differences is valuable. The main purpose of this day is to help all of us appreciate the differences in our cultures and try to unite. What a great time to pick out a caring and beautiful flower arrangement professionally prepared by a Huisman Flowers floral designer.

In honor of International Day of Friendship, numerous governments, individuals, and community interest groups work scheduled events that are designed to kindle friendships within their communities and extending outside of their communities.  Parades displaying multiple country flags followed by music festivals hosted by multi-cultural bands are commonplace. If you are looking for some fun things to do on International Day of Friendship, below are a few ideas you can encourage children to do.

  • Make goodie baskets filled with special treats and give them to friends.
  • Make homemade friendship bracelets
  • The kids can create a friendship class book.
  • Create a book filled with photos and stories about your special friendships.
  • Create a big poster symbolizing all of the values of friendship.
  • Have kids write about what a friend means.
  • Ask the kids to share stories about friends and try to find common things.

Starting kids out early learning the value of friendship and embracing differences is important. However, adults can get to together with friends and create strong friendship bonds as well. Let’s face it, the world we live in today possesses an elevated level of miscommunications, mistreatment, lack of trust, discrimination, and cultural discord. The value of a day like International Day of Friendship can go a long way to minimizing those issues. Peace in our global society, while difficult to obtain is still a worthy pursuit.  The United Nations can be thanked for introducing International Day of Friendship in 2011. They experience every day the value of building bridges among cultures, countries, and even ideologies.

As far as simple things adults can do to foster better friendships, below are a few ideas:

  • Share a meal – If you have not seen friends in a while and want to re- bond, planning a lunch, dinner or happy hour can be a great start. Do it in the name of International Day of Friendship to add meaning to the occasion.
  • Attend a community cultural celebration – Nothing says I want to make new friends and experience different cultures than attending an event that is out of your norm.
  • Send a greeting card – Pretty common and simple gesture is to purchase or make a nice greeting card. Let friends know on International Friendship Day that you truly value your relationship.

Friendship and connections will break down barriers and differences. That is main purpose of International Day of Friendship. Once others realize how open you are to new learning and respecting new cultures, deeper bonds will be established. The elimination of negative biases and feelings towards the views of others can go a great distance in unification and an attempt to create peace and harmony in the world.

As you get ready to celebrate this meaningful day, please be sure to stop into a Huisman Flowers show room and speak with one of our super talented floral designers. They will be delighted to help you select that perfect flower arrangement to make your friends feel the love. Here are just a few of our many choices:

Lakeshore Burlap Chic

The award-winning floral design staff at Huisman Flowers created this Chic Bouquet.

Send Huisman Caring Flowers to Honor Parents’ Day on July 24th

Huisman Flowers

The fourth Sunday in July is the special holiday created as National Parents Day. In 2022 the date is July 24th. This is a time when we can all pay a tribute to our parents for their contribution in raising us and preparing us for success in the world. Always a rock we can lean on our parents deserve to be recognized with National Parents’ Day Flowers. The best place to shop for flowers is Huisman Flowers. Our Floral Designers have prepared caring bouquets and arrangements that will delight any mom or dad.

On this day, many organizers gather nationwide to prepare celebrations to commemorate parents everywhere. This has been a tradition since 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution that effectively created National Parents’ Day. President Clinton felt it was important to publicly recognize the supporting role all parents play in the rearing of their children.

In addition to beautiful and caring flowers from Huisman Flowers, you can also do other things. Have a backyard picnic, spend time researching family genealogy, do some baking with mom and simply say thank you to mom and dad for all of the wonderful memories and sacrifices. All of these will go a long way to making National Parents’ Day very special.

 

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. Perhaps you could arrange a small gathering for a Parents’ 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 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.

Check out some of our caring flower arrangements:

 

Classic Dozen Light Pink Roses

For classic romance, a dozen roses are always the perfect choice. One dozen long-stemmed roses in an elegant glass container with premium foliage accents.

Contact our Talented Wedding Team in Advance to Plan for Wedding Flowers

Huisman Flowers provides FREE wedding consultations

Obtaining Wedding Flowers has become more difficult in the past few years. It is very important that if you are wanting to have a wedding in the next 6-9 months, now is the time to visit your florist. Huisman Flowers has a wonderful selection of flowers and a professional and caring team of wedding planning experts. We would be honored to get started planning your wedding.

The flower shortage facing all florists is a culmination of several factors. One thing is for sure and that is many florists are feeling the pinch and doing their best to find ways to continue servicing their client base.

Global Pandemic – We all understand the impact this horrific event had worldwide. This 2020 event snowballed into effecting many different industries including Wholesale Flower Growers. Many had to shut down farms due to quarantine requirements. This in turn resulted in laying off many workers and destroying tons of flowers. Some farms have not reopened and appear to have gone out of business.

Breaking it down further to real numbers, the National Association of Wholesale Distributors reported that there were 5.64 million employed in the US floral industry at the end of December 2020. That was a drop of 247,717 jobs lost between 2019 and 2020. This is the lowest level of floral industry employment in the past seven years. Then furthering the problem was the reduced number of flowers that were grown.

As people have returned to normalcy, they have begun planning events again, there are now fewer flowers and workers to load trucks. Sadly, many flowers are left to die in the heat because they cannot be loaded onto trucks.

Environmental Changes – Climates in some regions where flowers are grown have changed. In South America, they are reporting colder nights and more rainfall which has negatively affected flower production. Then domestically, many farms are located in California which as we know has been suffering from severe drought conditions.

Foreign Political Pressures – In many parts of the world there is current political unrest. This is true in Ecuador which is a major supplier of wholesale flowers. There are many protests that have blocked major transportation routes. Numerous flower farms are unable or finding it difficult to transport their flowers to shippers.

Huisman Bridal Bouquets

Increased Number of Weddings – There is a huge increase in the number of weddings. Many were postponed due to the Pandemic. The U.S. Wedding Report study reported that in 2021 there were an estimated 1.93 million weddings scheduled. That number for 2022 has climbed to 2.47 million. This increase in the demand for wedding flowers coupled with the supply issues is making the problem worse.

Huisman Flowers, like the majority of US Florists, is forced to adjust normal day to day procedures in order to best serve customers. Below are a few of the steps we have taken to best serve our customers in these difficult flower supply conditions.

Accurate Expectations – The last thing we want to do is over promise and under deliver.  When we set up a wedding consultation, we will provide honest and reasonable time frames to ensure your wedding flowers arrive on time and looking beautiful.

Early Wedding Bookings – Your wedding is a most important day. Due to all of the issues we are all faced with regarding fresh flowers supply, we strongly encourage advance wedding planning.

Possible Substitutions – Unfortunately, it may be necessary to be flexible with wedding flower choices. While you will have first choices for your dream wedding flowers, it may not be possible in all cases to obtain those exact flowers.

Our mission is to do our very best to find alternatives to try and meet your expectations. One thing we are good at is flexing flowers. This is a technique that makes different varieties of flowers appear similar to the variety you are wanting. For example, Roses can be flexed to look like a Peony etc.

Gerbera Daisy – Daisies have one of the best shades of bright red to compliment the 4th of July. They make any flowerpot standout with a cheery red hue, but they are also not easy to maintain.

This is without question the hottest of the four seasons. Still for many people it is their favorite time of year. A time for summer breaks from school, vacations with family and many outside activities.  In the Northern Hemisphere, summer is defined as the months of June, July and August. However, in the Southern Hemisphere summer occurs during the months of December, January and February.

Technically speaking, summer solstice is the moment the Sun travels its greatest distance through the sky. This day of course has the most daylight of any other day in the year and therefore referred to by many as the longest day of the year. This actually marks the beginning of the astronomical summer, but we have already felt the warmer temperatures of summer for several weeks. July is typically the hottest day of the year because there is about a one-month lag between the solstice and the hottest temperatures.

As you shop for summer flowers and plants, below are some popular varieties:

  • Sunflowers – These are beautiful in a vase. Our Sunflowers are shipping directly from growers and are picked before insects or other conditions have caused any damage.
  • Daisies – The Daisy Flower is long lasting and a family member of the Chrysanthemum. There are many varieties and colors. Daisies make great bouquets and look nice in a garden.
  • Roses – There are countless varieties of roses. Our roses are fresh and beautiful. Nothing smells better than a fresh rose bouquet inside or on the patio.
  • Daylily – Flowers of the Daylily come in several colors and have ruffled petals. They require full sun.
  • Cuphea – Frequently referred to as the firecracker plant, the Cuphea is a hummingbird magnet. It has bright red and orange flowers and does best in full sun.
  • Marigold – Needing full sun, the Marigold is a longtime favorite flower. It is very durable and resists insects.
  • Fan Flower – A wonderful spillover plant, the Fan Flower needs full sun. It produces lovely flowers in colors of pink, purple and white.
  • Ranunculus – Resembling roses and peonies, the Ranunculus requires full sun. In extreme cold the bulbs can be stored indoors and replanted in the spring.
  • Portulaca – Very heat and drought resistant, the Portulaca is a low-growing succulent. It is best used in rock gardens and in full sun.
  • Lantana – The Lantana flower comes in yellow, purple and pink. It is extremely heat and drought resistant.  The sweet-smelling blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
  • Lavender – A perennial plant the Lavender does best in a garden setting. It requires mostly sun.
  • Canna – The Canna is a tropical flower that blooms all summer. They cannot survive the cold of winter, so they have to be stored inside and replanted in the spring.
  • Salvia – The Salvia is a fragrant flower that pollinators love. It has flowers that are pink, purple and white.

Ecuadorian roses are truly unique. They have exceptionally long stems, with big gorgeous blooms. We buy the premium variety. The quality of these fabulous roses is second to none. These premium roses are grown high in the mountains of Ecuador. The mountains offer exceptional growing conditions. Each rosebush benefits from higher than average rainfall that occurs at the higher altitudes. The soil conditions in the mountains are thought to be close to perfect. Each rose plant receives the perfect amount of sunlight. Perfect growing conditions results in truly exceptional roses.

We find that buying direct offers many great advantages. For one, we are able to cut out the wholesalers. This saves money and we are able to share those savings with our Grand Rapids area customers. A second great advantage is that buying direct reduces the amount of time between when the farms cut the flowers and when those flowers arrive here in our flower shops. This reduction in the time relates directly to fresher product.

Our floral designers have access to the finest, freshest, highest quality roses. Fresher roses and flowers produce longer vase life, which means our customers get to enjoy their fresh cut rose arrangements longer.

Celebrate Father’s Day with the Huisman Flowers Floral Gift Selection

Huisman Flowers provides local same day and express flower delivery service to Central Wesleyan Church,

Father’s Day is on June 19th. Be ready with Father’s Day Floral Gifts from Huisman Flowers. There are many varieties of flowers that are popular for Father’s Day and actually flowers are a wonderful gift for dad.

Father’s Day History

In 1915, a member of the Lions Club introduced the concept of Father’s Day to occur on the third Sunday in June. The Lions Club International elected to give him the official designation as the “Originator of Father’s Day” and he continued the quest to promote Father’s Day as an official holiday.

After receiving countless requests for a special day to honor fathers, President Wilson in 1916 proclaimed a day should be recognized as a federal holiday. This was during a speech he gave in Spokane at a Father’s Day celebration. However, when the concept reached Congress, it was denied. The majority of the members in Congress were concerned that it would become too commercialized, and the true meaning would be all about companies profiting.

President Coolidge suggested a recognition for Father’s Day in 1924. Then in 1957, Senator Margaret Chase Smith spoke out that Congress had been ignoring fathers for over 40 years and had only been honoring mothers. Then in 1966 the first proclamation of Father’s Day was issued by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It was declared that the day to honor all fathers would be the third Sunday in June. This became a permanent holiday in 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed it into law.

Popular Father’s Day Flowers, Plants and other Floral Gifts

Peperomia – These are sometimes called radiator plants and are very hardy. They do not grow taller than one foot and have sturdy waxy leaves.

Spider Plant – Sprouting delicate white flowers this plant from Africa makes a great hanging plant.

Moth Orchid – These Orchids have a long life and are native to Southeastern Asia. They display butterfly – shaped flowers. Its relative is the Moon Orchid which is also very hardy.

Lucky Bamboo – Very easy to grow, these plants are said to bring prosperity to the home.

Zebra Plant – For a small space in the home, The Zebra Plant is often chosen. It is from Brazil and has a spiky appearance with white bands on the leaves.

Send Flowers for National Best Friends Day from Huisman Flowers

Huisman Flowers provides local same day and express flower delivery service to Central High School Grand Haven

This June 8th, National Best Friends Day is observed. Many people have a “best friend”. Perhaps it is a life long friend since childhood or maybe it is someone you met later in life.

One perfect way to celebrate National Friends Day is to send a lovely flower bouquet from Huisman Flowers. We have fresh and festive National Best Friends Day Flowers.

So just how did National Best Friends Day get its start? Well actually in 1935, Congress decided this was a significant enough cause to declare June 8th as National Friends Day. In addition, Congress wisely selected the summer season as the best time to desiginate this special day. This season is typically the best time weather wise and schedule wise for people to celebrate.

Reasons for celebrating National Best Friends Day are most likely obvious. These people are special in your life and you want them to know you appreciate them. However, like many other occasions or life events, there are some research studies that indicate there are health reasons for celebrating.

For example, studies have shown that 22% of people have a longer live span when they have a group of close friends. Of course there is a relationship to depression and anxiety as people who spend time with their friends generally have less of these issues.

There are many ways to celebrate with a friend on National Best Friends Day and many things you can do to make them special. Below are a few:

Send Flowers – Obviously our favorite. The Floral Designers at Huisman Flowers have created beautiful bouquets that are sure to brighten anyone’s day!

Phone Call –  In today’s fast paced world with Social Media and Texting, taking the time to call someone directly can mean alot. Take the time to call your best friend and let them know you are thinking about them.

Meet for Coffee – Contact you friend and set up a time to meet at the local Coffee Bar. Laugh and reminisce or just talk about what is going on in your lives. If coffee is not a favorite, there is always brunch, lunch or dinner.

Gift Surprise – Even the smallest gift means you took the time to shop for your best friend.

Shop with Huisman Flowers this National Rose Month

Huisman Flowers purchases many of the stunning roses we sell direct from flower farms in Ecuador

June is designated as National Rose Month. Huisman Flowers offers a wonderful selection of roses as well as many varieties of flowers. I was provided with a great article regarding roses that was written by the Chairman of the Society of American Florists. There is so much great information in the article, and it is so relevant for National Rose Month that I wanted to share it.

Roses are the most popular flower in the world, with over a billion stems sold annually. Over 250 million are produced for Valentine’s Day alone. They are popular because of their beautiful colors, shape and petal structure, as well as their lovely fragrance. While many landscape roses have 5 petals, hybrid tea roses, those produced for commercial cutting, can have up to 40 petals. Best of all, there are always new varieties to discover with over 150 rose species and thousands of fabulous cultivars.

June is National Rose Month, a perfect time for me to share with you some of my favorite varieties, not ranked, because they are simply too beautiful to pick a favorite.

  • Alabaster is a breathtaking, off-white rose with many soft, delicate petals.
  • Catalina warms my soul with creamy yellow petals that reveal sunshine as they open.
  • Ashley is a luscious pink rose that is not too pale and not too bold.
  • Juliet captivates me with a very interesting petal structure and perfect peach color.
  • Miyabi Wabara is a pink rose with a peach heart and wonderfully ruffled petals.
  • Free Spirit combines yellow, peach and pink in its countless petals. Just WOW!

I am often asked how to care for cut roses and respond with a few tips:

  • Keep the water clean. Bacteria is our primary enemy and you can limit bacterial growth by rinsing the vase daily and refilling with water.
  • Cut stems with a knife or very sharp pruners. Dull scissors will pinch the Xylem and Phloem closed and restrict the uptake of water.
  • Use the flower food provided by your florist. The old wives’ tales about aspirin and pennies are lore and not based on any science. The food is most essential during the first two water changes, so do not worry if you run out.
  • If a rose wilts prematurely, do not trash it. Simply give it a fresh cut and submerge the entire rose in warm water for an hour or so. It will rehydrate and look great for many additional days.

Fun fact: Most of the world’s cut roses are grown in the mountains of Colombia and Ecuador. The altitude and proximity to the Equator means lots of year-round sunshine and the perfect combination of temperature and humidity.

Also, please remember that an open rose is not necessarily an old rose. Advancements in growing technology mean growers can leave the stem attached to the plant longer for better health and bloom development.

Therefore, we can deliver a fully developed, open rose that will perform well in the vase for 6-10 days. If you get one, follow my care instructions and enjoy the rose in its most beautiful open stages.

This month I hope you will join me in experiencing the joy of roses, both as a giver and receiver.  Happy Summer!

Huisman Flowers has Patriotic Memorial Day Flowers

Huisman Flowers provides local same day and express flower delivery service to Central United Methodist Church of Muskegon

Memorial Day 2022 is on Monday May 30th.  Officially commemorated as a federal holiday in 1971, Memorial Day was in earlier years referred to as Decoration Day and started after the Civil War. At that time people were holding tributes to the thousands of fallen American Soldiers that died in the Civil War. The tradition was to decorate graves with Memorial Day Flowers and recite prayers. Today, in addition to visiting memorials,  people attend or participate in parades and have family gatherings.

There are many ways to reflect on our fallen heroes, including ceremonies, celebrations, and festive occasions that focus on patriotism and how much we value the freedom that we hold dear. They fought for us and now we must remember and honor them.

At all Memorial Day celebrations and remembrances, flowers are a way to reflect the beauty and love represented in remembering these heroes, many of which were our loved ones. The skilled floral designers at Huisman Flowers will help you select a caring, thoughtful and patriot flower arrangement or green plant to honor a special military hero and members of his or her family.

Below are some of the more popular flowers to commemorate Memorial Day:

Red Poppy – This pretty flower has a history dating back to World War I. A Canadian soldier wrote a poem that referred to red poppies that grew between the graves of fallen military personnel. The flower symbolizes the blood of the soldiers who died but also symbolizes new life and hope. The name of the famous poem is “In Flanders Fields”.

Gladiolus – These flowers have a unique shape which resembles a sword. They represent strength of character.

Red Roses – The most common and best known symbolism for the red rose is love, beauty and romance. However, they also can symbolize courage.

Carnations – In some countries like the Netherlands, Carnations symbolize remembrance for veterans’.

Daisies – Symbolizing new beginnings and fresh hopes, Daisy flowers close their petals at dawn and reopen them once again when the sun comes up.

Blue Delphinium -A blue delphinium flower represents dignity, grace, youth, new life, and remembrance. Blue is one of the few shades of this beautiful flower.

White Lilies -White lilies symbolize majesty and immortality. Very appropriate as we pay tribute on Memorial Day. In some cultures they are considered an image of purity, beauty, innocence, and salvation.

Blue Hydrangea – The Blue hydrangea flower typically symbolizes apology, regret, and forgiveness.

Care and Compassion Spray

Your care and compassion will be appreciated by all who lay eyes on this radiant standing spray. A variety of lovely vibrant red blossoms contrasted by vivid green of bells of Ireland will deliver your heartfelt condolences.

Perfect Dazzling flowers such as red roses, gladioli and carnations along with bells of Ireland and other simple greenery create a spray that is both memorable and magical.

Purchase a lovely House Plant from Huisman Flowers

Huisman Flowers plant collection includes flowering baskets, traditional dish gardens, European Gardens, Tropical plants and beautiful flowering succulents.

So just what are some of the benefits of houseplants? Below is a short summary of a few.

Home Air Purification – There are multiple studies but reference is based on a study in 2009 conducted by the University of Technology in Sydney Australia. This team found that it was highly probable houseplants absorbed toxins in the air. The science behind how the plants are able to do this is related to their biological processes.

The CDC states that as many as 8 percent of Americans suffer from allergies. Houseplants do not release much if any pollen and in fact act as natural filters to collect allergens and dust. In addition, plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis which is what we breath to survive.

Plants act as sponges to gather all of the bad pollutants in the air. Most of us do not think about pollutants in our homes but they are present. Things like carpet, paint and furniture emit toxins.

Commercial Building Air Purification – It stands to reason that not just a residential home can benefit from indoor plants. It has been shown that  hospitals and office buildings are great places for plants also.

Researchers at Kansas State University reported studies that show patients recover quicker when their hospital rooms have plants in them. In addition, these patients tend to have lower heart rates, blood pressure, less fatigue and anxiety. Consequently the patients are released from the hospitals sooner.

Further, researchers in other countries have found evidence in their studies that the overall health of individuals in office buildings and classrooms is also improved by the presence of plants.  Benefits identified include decreases in fatigue, colds, headaches, coughs, sore throats and flu like symptoms.

Beautification of the Home or Building – In addition to the multitude of health benefits plants offer, they also create elegant and wonderful beauty to any home. There are numerous uses for indoor plants. Depending on the areas to be decorated, the use of different plants can create a more uniform and warm feel.
