September Newsletter: Season for Sunflowers

Season to Send Sunflowers

September: The Season For Sunflowers

No matter how hot it gets, summer is always a favorite time of year. The outdoor fun, cookouts, shorts and flip flops — what’s not to love? As summer draws to a close, its easy to catch the blues. This year, savor summer til the very last drop.

A great way to do this is by bringing the joy of summer indoors to enjoy at all times. How? Sunflowers! The sunflower is named after its huge, fiery blooms, whose shape is often used to represent the sun. Adding sunflowers to your decor will bring you happiness and warm-summer feelings during all hours of the day. They are also a great decor addition as we descend into fall.

Think of where you could use a little sunshine, perhaps the office? Of course! Pamper yourself with a little sun; send yourself sunflowers! It’s okay to spoil yourself once in a while.

Martha Sheldon Florist’s Unique Casket Design

September 5, 2012 by 2 Comments

Martha Sheldon Florist's Unique Casket Design

This post was shared with us by Audry Hurd, GMF, designer at Martha Sheldon Florist in Eastman, GA.

“This was requested for a sister, from brothers who lost her at 31 years old. They wanted something to express her originality.

They wanted to do something different, and I had done one like this before. I had shown them a pic and they fell in love with it. She was wearing pink and the casket was white with gold trim. So I said I would find material to compliment it.  Little did I know that I would find material to have it all matching perfectly.

I really like doing something unique as much as I can, and talk to the family members about their loved one to see if I can feel what kind of person they were. I can then show that love from the family through flowers.”

Casket flowers are traditionally a large, round display. Audry shows us that with fabric and a little imagination, you can certainly create something unique to match anyone’s personality.

Summer Sunflowers

Sending Sunflowers

Think of others who may need a little summer pick-me-up; grandparents, relatives or friends you have not spoken to in a while. It’s time to let them know they’re on your mind by sending sunflowers.

Sunflower Symbolism

  • If you live in Kansas, your reason for sending sunflowers has just doubled! It’s the Kansas State Flower!
  • Live to ‘Go Green‘? The sunflower is the symbol for the green movement.
  •  Dating an art lover? Send her sunflowers in appreciation of the Van Gogh series.
  • Did you know the sunflower is native to the Americas and was originally domesticated in present day Mexico? Sunflowers make the perfect hostess gift at your next fiesta!

If you want to send sunflowers, contact your local florist. You can use FSN’s handy Local Florist Finder to find yours today!
