Master Gardener: Four Generations Bloom at Adeline's Peonies - Yakima Herald-Republic

Adeline planted a vegetable garden to feed her family, and a flower garden for herself. Perhaps peonies reminded her of home. Native to dry, frigid mountainsides in China, all peonies require a long period of winter chilling (400 hours of temperatures below 32 degrees) before they will bloom. The quintessential “old-fashioned” flower, peonies were likely well-known to a girl who grew up in North Dakota.Grit and determination shaped Adeline’s character. In the 1930s, her business began when she started trading peonies with her Native American neighbors for salmon and huckleberries. After all, those were hard times, and she had 10 children to feed.Not only were the Yakamas Adeline’s first customers, but they have continued to be some of her most loyal. Yakama Nation citizens have a long tradition of decorating the graves of their ancestors with flowers on Memorial Day. Over the years, to meet their demand, Adeline planted more peonies. Her grandson Pat McCarthy, who grew up in Toppenish, remembers that by the time he was a schoolboy, there was almost an acre of peonies growing behind grandma’s house.Pat loves to tell stories about his grandmother. During the Great Depression, out-of-work men got from one place to another by hopping freight trains. They depended on the addresses of stops where they might find a meal, penciled on boxcar walls. Hungry men would regularly jump off the train as it rumbled through Toppenish and walk to Adeline’s door. It was common knowledge that in return for a few hours of work in her garden, Adeline would make sure they were fed.Adeline continued selling peonies until the 1960s. That’s when Pat’s dad Roger, along with other members of the McCarthy clan, took over, continuing to grow and sell peonies, but just as a side business. About 20 years ago, Pat decided to try flower farming more seriously. He left a career in the newspaper business, reorganized a pat...

Mediterranean flowers that thrive locally - Prescott Daily Courier

Mediterranean flowers shrug off in local gardens. California Poppy seems to take over entire Arizona mountainsides. How can blooms with such ethereal beauty be so tough? This welcome harbinger of spring adds its vivid orange hue to any garden with ample sunshine and light soil. Although the plant is an annual, it self-seeds and every year the bluish-green foliage makes newly emerging seedlings easy to recognize. Crepe Myrtle, with its breathtaking flower colors, is a welcome sight during every garden’s late-summer lull. This is the perfect summer bloomer for gardens enhancing Prescott’s summer homes. With so many varieties available, it is popular to plant several of the different neon colors. Plant where you can enjoy a “close up” view of its beautiful multicolored bark and sinuous branches. Daphne is for the Mediterranean garden that receives shade from oak or cypress trees; the shrub is a flattering flowering companion to the trees. The highly fragrant shrub demands good drainage, and likes protection from the mid-afternoon summer sun. Choose a variety with variegated leaves, like “Maejima,” and you’ll have a beautiful specimen plant, whether in or out of bloom. Ascot Rainbow Euphorbia is commonly known as “spurge.” The many varieties of Euphorbia have colorful bracts rather than true flower petals. The electric shade of green foliage provides an excellent complement to every other blossom color in the garden. Local native “gopher plant” is a direct descendant of Euphorbia, and absolutely deer proof. Lavender bears a scent ...

A treasure in Kalispell, Bibler Gardens a geologist's wonderland and legacy - Great Falls Tribune

Jean. They moved from Calgary to Kalispell in 1966. Their house, built in 1979, was meant to blend into the mountainside. Inside, it's an unusual mix of late 1970s aesthetics, European antiques from grand homes, stained glass, antique Persian rugs, some historic French furniture, animal mounts, Inuit carvings and prints and 20th century Montana artists. The gardens, though, steal the show. Seven gardeners work for eight months a year to "paint" with flowers in a way that would do Bibler proud. Every fall they plant 10,000 to 14,000 bulbs, with 300,000 already in the ever-changing garden. By mid-May, seas of tulips emerge. Daffodils, hyacinths, alyssum, aubretia and candy tuft add to the scene. Apple, plum, pear and other flowering trees are in bloom. Perennials are emerging and getting ready to take over where the tulips leave off. Gardeners will plant another 30,000 annuals during the month of June.

Flower District is next as Manhattan's old markets vanish

New York's flower district, the vast majority are imported. In fact, the bouquet you bought at your local deli was likely grown on a mountainside in Colombia, where 78 percent of all U.S. flower imports originate. This relationship is a product of trade policies implemented in the 1990s to curb Colombian drug production by encouraging a legal, alternative crop. After import taxes were lowered, Colombian flowers flourished. American growers, however, paid the price-sales of U.S. roses have dropped 95 percent since 1991, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Additional imported flowers make their way to America from the Netherlands, home to the largest flower market in the world. At Royal FloraHolland in Aalsmeer, flower traders buy and sell $5.2 billion in horticultural products each year at an auction house the size of 182 soccer fields. But even the Dutch have seen growth slow, as cheaper South American flowers flood the market. Where the flowers are from is one thing. Getting them to the buyer while still fresh is quite another. From farm to wholesaler to florist, each stem found in New York's flower district has traveled farther and faster than most people ever will. Take, for example, a simple red rose. The one you pull out of the plastic wrap in your kitchen was likely grown in Colombia. After its stem has been snipped, it's put in post-harvest hydration solution and boxed in a refrigerated room. From there, the bundle is transferred to a cooled plane in Bogota and flown to Miami. After passing through customs, the package is received by truck drivers, who shuttle it up the East Coast to New York. From start to finish, the process takes three days. The New York flower district dates back to the late 19th century, when immigrants from Eastern Europe, particularly Greece, identified an untapped market: providing flowers for department stores, funerals, and even nearby steamships. "The flower market is a shadow of its former self," says Steven Rosenberg, a third-generation owner of Superior Florist, which was opened by his grandfather in 1930 and then run by his father Sam. "It's still colorful to walk through, but it's nothing compared to what it used to be." Rosenberg's grandfather Louie arrived from Poland in the early 1920s. Living in a tenement on the Lower East Side, he eventually got a job in the Chelsea fur district-that is, until he realized he was allergic to fur. Louie crossed the street and sought out a job as a flower runner; he learned Greek to get a leg up in his new profession, supplementing his fluent Yiddish and clunky English. In 1930, Louie Rosenberg opened his own wholesale shop and began competing with Greek, German, and Irish immigrants to sell fresh-cut flowers. to retailers. This was a time when elegantly dressed men haggled with growers from Long Island. Decades before the jet age, New Yorkers had to make due with hydrangeas and gladiolus from Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island. Many immigrants work in the flower district these days, though now they largely hail from Mexico. Frankie Mendez, a salesperson at Caribbean Cuts, has made a career out of selling to clients from Christian Louboutin and Barney's exotic bamboos or purple dancing ladies for catalog and window displays. Mendez was only 12 when he moved to New York from Mexico City. By the time he was 14, he was unloading boxes of flowers in the predawn gloom. Like the elder Rosenberg, he spoke little English, but worked hard to succeed in a physically strenuous environment. "Everyone here starts from the bottom," he says. Now 30, Mendez is a naturalized citizen who has spent more than half his life working on West 28th Street. "I've learned so much here," he says, pausing to tend to a fashionably dressed customer purchasing tropical plants for a photo shoot. "New York is the...

Flowers, after all, are a short-lived luxury that sell well only when people have money to burn. "Nothing has ever been as bad as the recession," Page says from an offic...
