How to Care for your new Poinsettia, Pugh’s Flowers

The Christmas Season just wouldn't be the same without a beautiful Poinsettia decorating your home. Poinsettias are great potted plants and provide color for your home during and after the holiday season. They also make wonderful festive holiday gifts. Proper care is very important however for the plant to be able to maintain it's vigor and beauty. Here are a few helpful tips to make your poinsettia last.Keep your new Poinsettia plant near a sunny window where it will have the most available sunlight. Sunlight should be available for the plant at least five hours a day. A window that faces south, east or west is the best location to place your Poinsettia. Do take precaution not to let any part of your plant touch the cold windowpane. Poinsettias are sensitive to cold and the cold of the windowpane may injure it.Watering your Poinsettia can be tricky. They are in the Euphoria Family and are native to Mexico. With this said they do not like to become too dry so you should never let the soil in the pot completely dry out. If you feel dryness on top of the soil when touching it, do water it until water runs freely out the drainage hole in the container. The pot should be able to drain the excess water as water logging in the pot is not good for Poinsettia. Waterlogged soil lacks sufficient air, which may result damage of roots. Poinsettias exposed to high light and low humidity require more frequent watering. However never water your poinsettia if the soil feels wet. Too much water will cause the leaves to curl up and then fall off. An over watered Poinsettia will drop all of it's leaves and look very " Naked."Maintain the temperature of the location where you have placed your plant at 65 to 70 degrees during the daylight hours for it to maintain it's blooming. It is a good practice to move Poinsettias to a cooler place at night but it is not a demanding criterion. Because root rot disease is more prevalent at temperatures below 60 degrees F, do not put the poinsettia in a room colder than this.Here are some interesting facts about Poinsettias you may not already know.....1. Poinsettias are the most popular of all holiday plants.2. Poinsettias are native to southern Mexico and Central America. 3. Poinsettias also bloom in cream, lemon, peach, pink colors and with white- and gold-splashed leaves. 4. Poinsettia's botanical name, Euphorbia Pulcherrima, means "the most beautiful Euphorbia".5. Poinsettia was named after the former US ambassador to Mexico, Dr. Joel R. Poinsett, who introduced the Poinsettia to the United States.6. Research as proved that the Poinsettia is not poisonous.7. Poinsettias, at times, reach a height of sixteen feet.8. Poinsettias are also known by other names such as 'Christmas flower', 'lobster flower', and 'Mexican flame leaf'.Keeping your Poinsettia throughout the year and getting it to re bloom for next Christmascan require a little work on your part as well as a [...]

Fall Holidays, leaf no one behind! Pugh’s Flowers

Fall is here and everyone loves to see all the color changes and leaves falling, it's a beautiful time of year. Fall also gives us quite a few opportunities to spread good cheer. Here are some upcoming holidays to celebrate the people who are special to you. October 8, 2012 Columbus Day October 16, 2012 Boss's Day October 20, 2012 Sweetest Day October 31, 2012 Halloween History of Bosses Day (wikipedia) Patricia Bays Haroski registered "National Boss' Day" with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. She was working as a secretary for State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois at the time and chose October 8 because she forgot that the birthday of her boss, who was her father, was actually on the 16th. Four years later, in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed Haroski's registration and officially proclaimed the day.[citation needed] Hallmark did not offer a Boss' Day card for sale until 1979. It increased the size of its National Boss' Day line by 28 percent in 2007.[citation needed] National Boss' Day has become an international celebration in recent years and now is observed in countries such as Australia, India, South Africa, Ireland, the UK, and Egypt. Note that Egypt celebrates their equivalent holiday on 10 December every year.

Why send Sympathy Flowers to the service? Pugh’s

There is a lot of talk today about donating to charities instead of sending flowers to send your condolences.  While some families request this flowers are still a valuable part of the healing process.  There is a new director in town, Todd VanBeck of Forest Hill Cemeteries, who has written a wonderful and informative guide to the ins and outs of funeral flowers and he has graciously shared his work with us.  Following is an excerpt from  his article and it has some great information. By: Todd VanBeck SYMBOLISM AND FLOWERS          Through history, flowers have been used to symbolize almost every aspect of the life cycle, from birth through death. In death, flowers are used to symbolize how the beauty of creation is temporary and, as sure as the flower must be cut from the stem, so it is with life—we all, too, must have our life cut from the stem, so to speak.          Flowers also have a particular aesthetic value in the face of death, for the beauty of the flower helps balance our emotional response to the sharp contrast of the perceived ugliness of death. Flowers help soften the raw data imagery that death leaves with survivors.          The fragility of life is also symbolized by a flower. Flowers, to be healthy, require the proper condition to grow and expand – just like human beings.          And finally, the color of flowers has a specific symbolism, particularly in religious thought.          A.  A purple flower is a symbol of penitence and royalty. This floral color is used during the preparatory and penitential seasons of Advent and Lent.          B.  A white flower is the symbol of joyous and celebrative color of light. This floral color is used during the festive seasons of Christmas and Easter, and on high days during ordinary times.            C.  A green flower is the symbol of nature in the freshness of growth – hence our green cemeteries. This floral color is used, except on high days, during ordinary times, the seasons after Epiphany Pentecost.          D.  A red flower is the symbol of fire and blood, and is used on the Day of Pente­cost and on other special occasions when the work of the Holy Spirit or the blood of Christ or of martyrs is being commemorated.          E.  A black flower is the symbol used for Good Friday, though red flowers are also sometimes used.          Flowers, as we have just discussed, help the person think in symbolic terms, which is the way that much of the information concerning death is communicated.
