Delphinium: August's Flower Spotlight

It's time for our Monthly Flower Spotlight! This month we have chosen the beautiful Delphinium to highlight. This is a wonderful flower that has weaved its way through history and the hearts of some avid flower enthusiasts. Let's take a look at some names, some lore, and a little bit of interesting facts about the  Delphinium.  

What is a Delphinium?

Does the name not ring a bell? That's because it has another name. According to the website Names of Flowers, the Delphinium is a genus name that refers to a large group of perennials. The delphinium is native to the North American hemisphere where it flourishes in the late spring and the summer and produces several different colors. I have even found it in the forests of East Texas. The Delphinium is normally seen in the traditional blue, but comes in a dark purple, red, white, and yellow also.

The Delphinium has some interesting folklore and myths attached to it. The flower was said to be sacred to Apollon, the god of light, healing, and poetry. Apollon is also the patron god of the city of Delphi, the city of the Oracle, and the Delphinium was known as Delphinium Apollo as it grew in the city. It is also said that goddess Persephone was gathering the flowers when she was abducted by the god of the underworld, Haides.

Fun Delphinium Facts

Let's talk about some fun facts about the Delphinium. For one, did you know that it was the birth flower of the month of July? It symbolizes an open heart and has been said to offer protection against lightning and witches, it also was traditionally said to prevent eye diseases. Also, the name comes from the Greek delphis that means dolphin that steams from the curve of the flowers petals.

How do Florists Use Delphinium?

Since delphinium are a tall flower (what we call a line flower,) they are primarily used in tall arrangements vs low round 

arrangements. They can extend the lines of bouquets and enhance the visual elements. We use them daily for get well bouquets, birthday bouquets, and funeral flowers. Because of their common blue color, they are used often for flowers for men and patriotic flowers.

In addition, the delphinium have several delicate blooms along the tall stem. Those individual blooms can be plucked and used in corsages and bouquets for weddings and prom flowers.

Where to Order Blue Flowers?

Our flower shop in Pasadena TX can create you a beautiful  bouquet of blue flowers for delivery. We offer same day flower delivery in Houston and surrounding cities. Plus we have relationships with over 2000 florists across the country.

All in all, this is a beautiful flower that you do not want to miss putting in your bouquet. Contact us so we can arrange the perfect array of flowers that will brighten up any day. Call us, order your flowers online, or stop by our store located on Fairmont Parkway in Pasadena.

Beautiful Purple Roses: A Magical Choice to Show Your Love

For many people, roses are a traditional way to show your love. The unique class of beautiful purple roses takes it to a higher level. The color purple is associated with royalty, magic, mystery, and even piety. Throughout history, wearing purple was reserved for royalty or bishops of the church. That makes purple roses a gift fit for a king or queen.

Meaning of Purple Roses

In general, giving purple roses indicates a magical and enchanting love. More specifically, lavender roses signify love or enchantment at first sight, while deep purple roses mean a more enduring and deeper love. Therefore, lighter colored purple roses are appropriate for new relationships, and darker purple roses are perfect for wedding anniversaries and long-term relationships.

Include a reference to the magical, enduring, or enchanting characteristics of your feelings in the card you attach to the roses. Let the recipient know that they are the king or queen of your heart.

History of Purple Roses

Purple roses are mentioned for the first time in the 1800s. They do not occur naturally, but rather they are a hybrid between standard European roses and a rose variety from China. Colors of purple roses range from pastel to bright to dark. They can have pink, blue, red, or gray undertones. Typical colors are lavender, lilac, and plum.

Varieties of Purple Roses

Names and colors of purple roses vary greatly from grower to grower. Here is some of the more common names and colors for purple roses, but please note that this can vary. Also, as rose bushes age, growers replace them with new varieties and this could also change the shade of your favorite rose.

Varieties of lighter purple roses include: Cool Water, Cool Paris, Blueberry, Rock Fire, Ocean Song, Purple Haze, Amnesia, Silverston, Moody Blues, Queen of the Night, Deep Purple, Lady Moon, Nautical, and Nuage.

Varieties of deep purple roses include: Midnight Blue, Burgundy Iceberg, Night Owl, Ebb Tide, Neptune, and Purple Heart.

The next time you want to send some spectacular and show stopping flowers to that special someone, skip the red roses, and consider beautiful purple roses for a truly special gift. Contact us to choose the perfect purple roses and to see what we have in stock.

We offer same day delivery and next day delivery of our two dozen purple roses in the Houston, TX area and surrounding cities. We also have relationships with over 2000 florists around the country so rest assured that we can get your special delivery on time.

September Flower Spotlight: Agapanthas

On our Enchanted Florist Blog, every month we chose to highlight a flower. We explore that flower's history and how we use them in our Houston flower shop daily.  This September we choose the agapantha.  

September's flower is known by many names -- Agapantha, Lily of the Nile, and African Blue Lily just to name a few. The word Agapantha is derived from two Greek words; agape, meaning 'love', and anthos or athhos, meaning 'flower'. Because of this, it's been known as the flower of love, though no one knows why it was named as such. Despite the lack of knowledge, it's associated with all matters relating to love and romance. 

All About The Agapantha

These bell-shaped flowers are native to South Africa, where they grow in clusters and are usually found in the shade provided by trees. The most common colors of the agapantha are various shades of blue and purple, though there are also white varieties.

While the sap of the agapantha is suspected to be poisonous to humans, the flower is also believed to have medicinal properties -- namely, it's claimed to have anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and immunoregulatory benefits. In medicine, it's been used to treat heart disease, chest pain and tightness, and paralysis, among other things.

Agapantha have been used as protective charms, worn by pregnant women to ensure they delivered strong, healthy babies. It's also been thought to ward off thunder, and thus worn by those who fear storms.

In the past, it's been said that growing agapantha is difficult, but this myth has been debunked. All they really need is well-drained, moderately fertile soil, and good sun. In hot climates, the flowers need partial shade, but in cooler climates, full sun is preferred for most of the day. The other thing needed for successful growth is a lot of patience, as it can take three or four years for the plants to bloom. And keep an eye on the foliage -- if the tips of the leaves are yellow, it means they're getting too much water.

Flower Delivery in Houston Texas

At Enchanted Florist, our Houston Texas flower shop loves flower arrangements with agapanths in them. They are a tall flower, so traditionally they are used in tall arrangements. Agapanths also look amazing cut short in round vases grouped together like the last picture here. The agapantha flowers come in a variety of colors. The most popular color for Houston florists to get for arrangements is purple, but they also come in white and a light lavender color. These are just a few facts about the Agapantha. If you'd like to learn more, contact Enchanted Florist today. To place an order for a flower arrangement with agapanthas in it, please give us a call.

Milby High School Homecoming Mums

Texas high schools commonly celebrate Homecoming with large and elaborately-designed mum boutonnieres, and Milby High School Homecoming mums are part of this tradition. Enchanted Florist is the top supplier of Homecoming mums for students from 18 high schools in the area. 

History of Homecoming Mums

Several decades ago, high school students in Texas exchanged chrysanthemums to wear for Homecoming. Over the years, this tradition transformed into what it is today. Instead of small and simple chrysanthemums, Homecoming celebrations in Texas now have the presence of large and elaborate mum boutonnieres. 

Girls typically receive these boutonnieres to wear, though they can also give their dates mums that can be worn on garters or armbands. After Homecoming, your mums can also be saved and kept as mementos of your high school years.

How Unique Your Mum Is, Is Up To You

Homecoming mums for Milby High School can come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Standard mums are the deluxe single, double, and triple mums. 

These mums are relatively simple and a little more understated. If you'd like to give your mums a little touch of romance, you can choose a heart-shaped mum for your date. If you'd like to go big and stand out in a sea of oversized mums, you can choose the Mumstrosity, which has four mums and plenty of space for various decorations.

You can also show off your school spirit by selecting Milby High School Homecoming mums decorated with your school colors, which are royal blue and gold. If you're getting into the hype of the Homecoming football game, you can also go to Enchanted Florist's store and create your own football mum. If you're a senior, you can commemorate your final year in high school by choosing mums decorated predominantly in gold or silver.

Your mums can also be customized to be more personalized and unique. One way to do this is picking out your own color combination. You can ask Enchanted Florist to create Homecoming mums for Milby High School that reflect your tastes, interests, or the sports you are interested in other than football. You can choose among trinkets that showcase your personal interests.

There is also a great selection of decorations that you can choose from for your mums. You can choose from different sorts of braids, chains, boas, ribbons, stuffed animals, and trinkets. If you want to be a little more unique and off-beat, you can also have colored LED lights installed on your mums. 

Easily Order Online and We Can Deliver Your Mum In Houston

While picking out a design can take time, ordering Homecoming mums is incredibly easy. You can go on Enchanted Florist's website and complete an order form, or you can go to the physical store and place your order there. The mums can be delivered straight to your doorstep or picked up from the store. Make sure to order your mums before Homecoming on November 5, 2016. Getting Milby High School Homecoming mums for yourself or a date is incredibly easy and hassle-free. We deliver all over Houston.

The Best of Friendswood Flowers

Fresh flowers make a house a home. Enjoy the best of Friendswood flowers; Enchanted Florist can help you find fresh blossoms to suit any taste or budget. Are you interested in a vase full of cut flowers, or would you prefer a terrarium? What about some potted plants that will delight for years to come?

A Few Ideas for Flowers in Friendswood TX

Azaleas come in a variety of colors. Buy our Blooming Azalea Double Basket Garden, where colorful azaleas are paired with English ivy in an attractive wicker basket. Enjoy the basket on your coffee table or dining room table now. Later, plant the ivy and azaleas in your yard. Both will thrive and grow. Azaleas go from small potted plants to gorgeous hedges. Plant them in partial shade, water them well, and watch them grow year by year until you have bushes to brag about. 

You can keep the ivy in the house -- they're one of the easiest house plants to tend -- or plant them outside. Do not plant the ivy next to the azaleas, as they require much less water than the azaleas do.

Would you prefer our Sweet Azalea Blooming Plant? It's smaller than the Blooming Azalea Double Basket Garden, slightly less expensive, and does not include the English ivy.

Are you having trouble choosing between a green plant and a flowering plant? Why not get both? The Blooming Plant Double Basket Garden combines spathiphyllum, also called peace lilies, with kalanchoe. The peace lily thrives in low to medium light, and should not be overwatered. The kalanchoe does best in full sunlight, but can grow in moderate light. The small bright blossoms of the kalanchoe provide an attractive contrast to the green leaves of the spathiplyllum.

Roses are another great option, and there are so many other choices besides a standard red dozen roses for delivery in Friendswood. Malibu is our most popular, it is a white rose with pink tips. We also get in purple roses, yellow roses, and orange roses. One dozen roses, two dozen roses and even three dozen roses we can total create for you. Our premijm roses are flown in from Ecuador weekly, and more often as neccessary. Roses are a great option for birthday flowers for delivery in Friendswood TX.

A Few of Our Favorite Fall Things

Wheat

A few wheat shafts added to an arrangement give it some visual height as well as make us think of the fall harvest season! Wheat is a gorgeous touch to a bouquet and you’ll find it in several autumn arrangements, such as the Majestic Harvest Fall Flower Bouquet.

Pumpkins

Nothing says fall like a lovely round pumpkin! Our florist loves to use pumpkins not only as additions in the arrangement but as a container for the arrangement itself. This creates a really special display for fall, and you can see it in our Pumpkin Harvest Fall Flower Bouquet.

Cattails

We love the soft, velvety addition of cattails to a fall arrangement. Their lovely brown tones complement the oranges, yellows and reds used in many of our autumn arrangements and give them some height. You can see them in use in our Majestic Harvest Fall Flower Bouquet.

Fall Leaves

Of course, you can’t have fall without some pretty leaves. Leaves are a great addition to an autumn arrangement, and an unusual touch that everyone will appreciate. Our florist in Pasadena incorporates fall leaves into arrangements such as our Thanksgiving Centerpiece with Candles. You’ll want to order in advance to ensure you can have this beauty on your table in time for dinner.

Candles

We know that candles aren’t exclusively for the fall, but there is something especially nice about a candle on a cool autumn night! We incorporate candles into a number of our fall flower arrangements, including our Thanksgiving Centerpiece with Candles and our Fall Delight Flower Bouquet and Candle. The Fall Delight arrangement comes with a candle that will burn for more than 100 hours, so you’ll get plenty of enjoyment from it even after the flowers are gone.

It’s All in the Presentation

Enchanted Florist in Pasadena devotes a lot of time, experience, and passion into every arrangement that we create. We know that when it comes to flowers, presentation matters. That’s why you’ll see all kinds of little finishing touches on our autumn bouquets, including little bows of raffia, a rose that’s the perfect shade of red, or the addition of gerbera daisies in a vibrant orange that sets off the entire display. These details are what makes our fall flowers so special and why so many people are ordering them for their family and friends this holiday season.

If you love fall, can’t wait to sip hot cider, wear your favorite boots and comfiest sweaters, and enjoy all of the beauty fall has to offer, you need to celebrate its arrival with a fall flower bouquet from Enchanted Florist. Place an order online, over the phone or in our store in Pasadena today!

October Flower Spotlight: Hypericum Berries

Hypericum Berries, also known as St. John’s Wart, is known both as a restorative refresher and as a beautiful and 

versatile plant. This colorful perennial shrub, full of berries and known for its strong healing powers, is October’s Monthly Spotlight Flower. 

Hypericum Berries bloom in the fall and come from a plant in the Hypericaceae family that is associated with good health in several ways. Its healing properties are universally known to uplift moods, alleviate headaches and muscle pain, as well as to calm nerves and panic attacks.Ancient Greeks and Romans began using St John’s Wort around 500 B.C. to fight depression, calm anxiety, and to cure the negative effects of snake bites and sciatica. At one time, its leaves were utilized to heal wounds. Today, the hypericum plant is well known for its berries.

The berries grow abundantly in a wide variety of colors, including orange, red, white, black, bronze and gold. Since they bloom in so many different colors, it's easy to enhance any bouquet in which they are placed. 

Hypericum Berries & Flower Shops

Hypericum berries are a top preference for florists, especially for wedding bouquets, because of their colorful appearance and their tradition of signifying cheer and inspiration. Due to their good energy, they are often used in wedding arrangements and boutonnieres. Folklore states that they bring luck on a wedding day because the berries ward off evil spirits.

Since there is an average of 12-14 berries on each stem, they make beautiful filler for floral arrangements, especially because their stems grow between 16’ and 26” each. A wonderful advantage to using the Hypericum is its year-round availability anywhere in the United States.

The Exotic Grace Bouquet (pictured right,) is a beautiful bouquet that includes the hypericum berries, alstroemeria, and the tropical birds of paradise. A year round arrangement perfect to send to man.

They come in a variety of colors to accent most color pallettes. 

• White
• Deep Red
• Light Peach
• Halloween Orange
• Lime Green
• Fall Brown
