If you haven’t heard, we’re majoring in TEXTURES this Mothers’ Day.

I love inviting people to touch the flowers — I find that most people are hesitant to do so, convinced that they’re gonna damage the flowers with their handling. (That can happen, of course, I’ve had a friend crush the Amaryllis’ hollow stem because he was too eager).

But I love seeing people’ look of surprise when they make contact. The look of a flower can sometimes belie the way they feel to the touch.

Drop us a DM if you still haven’t got a thoughtful gift for Mom yet!

“Jewel tones are rich color tones which resemble well known gemstones, either precious or semi-precious. Typically, jewel tones have a high level of color saturation, which makes them very dynamic and distinctive.
There are a wide range of uses for jewel tones, from designer clothing to websites with rich interfaces which are meant to pop in the eyes of viewers.
Many colors in this family also have traditional or religious significance, and they often appear in works of art.”

“Like you’re going to adjust it — no, reach for the flower, without touching it — That’s it. Now do the exact same thing, but using your other hand.”
Dutifully following the instructions while quietly wondering if my right wrist is more aesthetically pleasing than its counterpart.

Thank you for making the move with us!
Kickstarting this new account with a bouquet that is equal parts classic — you don’t get more classic than red roses and calla lilies in any color, seriously — and rustic — with these floppy cosmos and wild meadow blooms. @ Whim and Prayer

Since boyhood, orange flavored anything would be the last one I’ll pick out of the pack — Yakult, gummy bears, cough syrup (though I’ll admit the raspberry flavor one is almost as gross).
Something about the color makes me turn cold — it reminds me of that overly optimistic and persistently chirpy coworker that has me convinced he’s harboring some deep, dark secret . Surely no one can be so full of positivity all the time???
Or maybe it’s just me.

Feminine exuberance for Luciana.
No idea what this variety of Dutch Carnations is called but they remind me of the Raspberry Ripple ice-cream the ice-cream uncle on wheels used to peddle.

‘Witch’ for Ching and Michelle, and for all the strong women who are out of step with the spirit of the times.
Sun Flowers that are ironically the color of midnight, wild grasses redolent of a cat’s tail, birch twigs and the seed head of the Lily of the Nile that is, at turns, weird and wonderful.

These sensitive blossoms are shed so easily, like our inchoate love — they do not suffer gladly a careless hand.

Yesterday Lizzie and I went to this dog run near where we stay. . As we passed through the gates, this Japanese Spitz came dashing right at Lizzie and - as it came within biting distance - bared its fangs and let out a low growl. . I instinctively put myself between Lizzie and the dog; shortly after, a lady in her early twenties came running and shouting the name of her dog. . I tried to catch her eye, half-expecting her to apologise or proffer some sort of explanation for her dog's behavior but she studiously avoided eye contact and simply led her dog away. . A little shakened, I brought Lizzie to this bench where a few of the smaller-bred dogs and some owners were hanging out and observed the Spitz and its owner from a distance. . The dog was now acting perfectly sociable, sniffing other dogs and playing with them, no trace of its former hostility. The lady did likewise: she resumed her easy conversation with a circle of owners. . A few minutes later, the Spitz trotted towards us and began sniffing the air around Lizzie in a seemingly harmless manner. . I watched them closely, which was why I reacted the moment I saw the dog snapping its jaw at Lizzie. . I clasped my arms around her, and was rewarded with sharpness of teeth against the skin between my thumb and index finger. . "Taro!" This time, the owner lay her hands on her dog, applied pressure and pushed the wild-eyed Spitz away. . A flash of anger rose in me, at the danger that came so close before, and at her continuing refusal to acknowledge me or the events that had just transpired. . "Your dog is quite aggressive, isn't she?" I said in an undertone. . No response. . I looked at the dog owners around me to assess their reactions and saw that everyone's gaze was averted. . Was it possible that no one had noticed what had happened? I thought to myself in bafflement. . A childish impulse seized me: I wanted to walk right up to the owner and show her my hand, which was beginning to pool with tiny droplets of b
