Hot August Days

Here at Peacock Florist, we have blooming flowers in hot August days.  Summers are usually slow for regular flower orders, except for weddings and funerals.  I have been lucky enough to be able to use my home grown flowers for some awesome designer's choice flowers.  I have done some gorgeous Flemish designs and Ikebana designs this year.

It helps to have some great vases.  I did a large Flemish design and covered a white urn in lamb's ear leaves so it had a soft green sheen.  It set the whole feeling for the arrangement.  Most of the flowers came from my garden and a friend's garden to showcase some unusual flowers. The other flowers came from the wholesaler.  One person wanted exotic flowers because he liked them...it was a funeral arrangement.  So I did a mix of ginger, bird of paradise, and anthurium and made a Flemish arrangement because she ordered two large arrangements.  They were both striking.  I used a colorful collector's pitcher so that I could use oranges, blues, and reds to highlight the pitcher.

Doing what you love should come first!  The money will follow especially when you love what you do and it shows.  When someone says Designer's Choice, it's my cue to having fun for what I love to do!  Call EdenScapes @ 360-417-0464 for your next order to Port Angeles, Sequim, or Joyce.  We are slowly changing our name to Peacock Florist.  You can put in:  www.peacockflorist.com or www.edenscapes1.com

We do have a shop that you can come and check us out.  We'd love you to come visit and take advantage of our sales.
