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.

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.

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.
