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. The 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.

The preference was for the day to occur on the third Sunday in June. The Lions Club International elected to give him the official designation as the "Originator of Father's Day" and he continued the quest to promote Father's Day as an official holiday. After receiving numerous requests for a special day to honor fathers, in 1916, President Wilson proclaimed a day should be recognized as a federal holiday. This was during a speech he gave in Spokane at a Father's Day celebration. However, when the concept reached Congress, it was denied. The majority of the members in Congress were concerned that it would become too commercialized, and the true meaning would be all about companies profiting. President Coolidge suggested a recognition for Father's Day in 1924. Then in 1957, a female Senator spoke out that Congress had been ignoring fathers for over 40 years and had only been honoring mothers. Then in 1966 the first proclamation of Father's Day was issued by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It was declared that the day to honor all fathers would be the third Sunday in June. This became a permanent holiday in 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed it into law. Popular Father's Day Floral Gifts Peperomia - These are sometimes called radiator plants and are very hardy. They do not grow taller than one foot and have sturdy waxy leaves. Spider Plant - Sprouting delicate white flowers this plant from Africa makes a great hanging plant. Orange Lilies - These nice flowers are used to symbolize Peace, Harmony, Wealth and Joy. White Roses - Show dad that you honor him for his honor, reverence and spirituality by giving him White Roses. Yellow Roses - If you want dad to have joy and cheer, the Yellow Roses are perfect. This is because the yellow rose's bright color symbolizes the warmth of a sunny day and friendship. Moth Orchid - These Orchids have a long life and are native to Southeastern Asia. They display butterfly - shaped flowers. Its relative is the Moon Orchid which is also very hardy.

The Pugh’s Flowers Designers Created Beautiful Rose Bouquets for National Rose Month
Pugh's Flowers imports the freshest cut flowers daily from around the world for our flower delivery Pugh's Flowers is the best florist to purchase from when you need fresh Roses. Our team of award - winning Floral Designers has created rose arrangements of all types and colors. June is National Rose Month and is the perfect time to shop with Pugh's Flowers. Not only do we offer roses, but we also have many other varieties of flowers and plants to choose from. Recently, I was provided with a sensational article regarding roses that was written by the Chairman of the Society of American Florists. There is so much great information in the article, and it is so relevant for National Rose Month that I wanted to share it. Roses are the most popular flower in the world, with over a billion stems sold annually. Over 250 million are produced for Valentine’s Day alone. They are popular because of their beautiful colors, shape and petal structure, as well as their lovely fragrance. While many landscape roses have 5 petals, hybrid tea roses, those produced for commercial cutting, can have up to 40 petals. Best of all, there are always new varieties to discover with over 150 rose species and thousands of fabulous cultivars. June is National Rose Month, a perfect time for me to share with you some of my favorite varieties, not ranked, because they are simply too beautiful to pick a favorite. Alabaster is a breathtaking, off-white rose with many soft, delicate petals. Catalina warms my soul with creamy yellow petals that reveal sunshine as they open. Ashley is a luscious pink rose that is not too pale and not too bold. Juliet captivates me with a very interesting petal structure and perfect peach color. Miyabi Wabara is a pink rose with a peach heart and wonderfully ruffled petals. Free Spirit combines yellow, peach and pink in its countless petals. Just WOW! Keep the water clean. Bacteria is our primary enemy and you can limit bacterial growth by rinsing the vase daily and refilling with water. Cut stems with a knife or very sharp pruners. Dull scissors will pinch the Xylem and Phloem closed and restrict the uptake of water. Use the flower food provided by your florist. The old wives' tales about aspirin and pennies are lore and not based on any science. The food is most essential during the first two water changes, so do not worry if you run out. If a rose wilts prematurely, do not trash it. Simply give it a fresh cut and submerge the entire rose in warm water for an hour or so. It will rehydrate and look great for many additional days. Fun fact: Most of the world’s cut roses are grown in the mountains of Colombia and Ecuador. The altitude and proximity to the Equator means lots of year-round sunshine and the perfect combination of temperature and humidity. Also, please remember that an open rose is not necessarily an [...]
Shop with Pugh’s Flowers for the Best House Plants in Memphis
Pugh's Flowers offers Green, Flowering & Tropical Plants available for Same Day Flower and Plant Delivery Anywhere in Memphis House Plants provide multiple benefits to their owners according to several research groups that have published reports. Benefits can range from helping to purify the air to altering and improving the overall mood of the home. Pugh's Flowers offers a great selection of indoor plants. In addition, our talented and award - winning Floral Designers are available to provide assistance. What are the benefits exactly? Below is a short summary of a few. Beautification of the Home or Building - In addition to the multitude of health benefits plants offer, they also create elegant and wonderful beauty to any home. There are numerous uses for indoor plants. Depending on the areas to be decorated, the use of different plants can create a more uniform and warm feel. Health and Mental Wellness - Researchers at Kansas State University reported studies that show patients recover quicker when their hospital rooms have plants in them. In addition, these patients tend to have lower heart rates, blood pressure, less fatigue and anxiety. Consequently the patients are released from the hospitals sooner. Further, researchers in other countries have found evidence in their studies that the overall health of individuals in office buildings and classrooms is also improved by the presence of plants. Benefits identified include decreases in fatigue, colds, headaches, coughs, sore throats and flu like symptoms. Home Air Purification - There are multiple studies but reference is based on a study in 2009 conducted by the University of Technology in Sydney Australia. This team found that it was highly probable houseplants absorbed toxins in the air. The science behind how the plants are able to do this is related to their biological processes. The CDC has reported that as many as 8 percent of all Americans suffer from allergies. Houseplants do not release much if any pollen and in fact act as natural filters to collect allergens and dust. In addition, plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis which is what we breath to survive. Plants act as sponges to gather all of the bad pollutants in the air. Most of us do not think about pollutants in our homes but they are present. Things like carpet, paint and furniture emit toxins. Commercial Building Air Purification - It stands to reason that not just a residential home can benefit from indoor plants. It has been shown that hospitals and office buildings are great places for plants also.

As parents and family are always proud, giving flowers or a lovely gift basket is a great way to show thoughtfulness and pride. Flowers have been an important symbol of thoughtfulness, love and caring for many centuries. Dating back to the Roman the goddess of love Venus often pictured surrounded with different varieties of flowers. In the 19th century, many writers referenced the "language of flowers".

The color and symbolism of blossoming into the world are perfect for the occasion. There are numerous varieties of flowers each presenting different meanings.

They come in shades of purple, pink, blue or white and are very soft. Roses Roses are a widely accepted favorite flower. Used as confetti in celebrations, the ancient Romans also used roses as perfume. Some royalty in the 17th century used roses as legal tender. Typically, we tend to think of roses as a symbol of romantic love, However, they can also be used to show admiration and affection for a graduate. White roses symbolize a new beginning, purity, and genuine respect. Pink roses symbolize happiness. Yellow roses symbolize friendship, new beginnings, and joy. Orange roses represent enthusiasm and desire. Peonies Peonies are a very popular springtime flower. They are frequently used in weddings and baby showers. In Victorian flower language they symbolize a more modest lifestyle of being shy with a happy life. So, if your graduate is more of the introvert type, peonies are the perfect flower. The Chinese culture considers peonies as the "king of flowers" [...]

For all moms, you deserve to reflect on your accomplishments and sacrifices to raise a family and keep the home functioning. It takes a lot of devotion to be a great mom. Below are some valuable tips to consider on your special day. Reflect on you - Mother's Day is not just another day. It is easy to slip into the daily routine of being "super mom". Instead, take time to reflect on your accomplishments and all that you do for your immediate and extended family. Try to not spend the day critiquing your abilities and accomplishments. Reach out to other Moms - You have a circle of friends some of whom are moms like you. Some of these ladies are probably people you admire for their mothering skills. Take a few moments to reach out to them and let them know about your admiration for them. Take time for yourself - It is quite normal to get up early and immediately switch to "mother mode". Maybe there are clothes on the floor, unmade beds, dishes in the sink and other things needing attention. Instead of feeling the need to jump into completing that you normally do, maybe sleep in later. Those tasks will be there tomorrow or better perhaps someone in your family may decide it is your special day and complete them for you. Expect Flowers and Gifts - Perhaps throw some not - so - subtle hints out there to your husband and children that a beautiful bouquet of flowers would be a welcomed gift. Then make sure you let them know that Pugh's Flowers is where you would like the flowers to come from! LOVE ME TENDER COVID-19 Update: We are still delivering your love!
