This week’s topic: An example of why NOT to be afraid of orchids!
I have a very close friend who has no green thumb. Traditional houseplants shutter, flowers wilt, and even cacti fear her. About a year and a half ago, a mutual friend gave her an orchid. Not being in the position as I am now to help her, I wished her luck and thought the orchid had no chance of survival. From the leaves, it looked like a Phalaenopsis, which in theory is one of the longest lasting and easiest to grow orchid varieties.
For some reason, she had the plant at another less occupied house in the winter months and the heat was turned down. When visiting, she would religiously put about a teaspoon or so of water on it (as we learned reading the last blog, not the proper way to water an orchid) and was shocked and amazed after months of dormancy; a shoot and subsequent buds appeared. The result was an exquisite spotted white phalo that has maintained its blooms for nearly 4 months.
This success made my friend offer to start growing phalos for Dr. Delphinium. While I, as the greenhouse manager, think that we shall stick to acquiring our orchids in quantities of more than one per year, her enthusiasm and newfound excitement of growing orchids is apparent. So if ever you are slightly apprehensive of growing orchids, please take a page from my friend’s book and just jump in: whether by accident or purpose.
Thanks for reading,

It’s Fall. I know it might
not feel like it with the temperatures we have been still experiencing, but
the nights are getting a little cooler, football season is up and running
and there is one more thing that any Dallasite knows. |
|
IT’S STATE FAIR TIME! |
While the majority of us will be
eating our way through the fair this year (as we should), I wanted to
remind you that there is a wonderful exhibit completely dedicated to
plants. Located adjacent to the Texas Star is a greenhouse that houses
landscape professionals and hosts lectures and discussions every
Saturday and Sunday at 11, 1, 3 and 5 every weekend of the fair. There
is a special event with Neil Sperry on Friday October 1st at 1 and 3
p.m. You can hear a variety of professionals; see wonderful landscaping
by over 50 companies tending 100 beds. The Fall Garden Exhibition also
includes work by 27 artists.
So if you have the inclination, go
by and get some planting ideas or just look at the fabulous designs of
plants and colors. Then please enjoy something deep fried!
Thanks for reading,
Robin

Here's some of my favorite shots
from a gorgeous monochromatic Orange wedding we did back in June at
the Hotel Crescent Court. The bride loved clean geometric shapes so
we focused mainly on spheres, incorporating differing shades of
Orange into the mix. Loved it!
|
|
 |
|
We did a traditional Chuppah for
the ceremony, but added in modern Rose Orbs and candles on the floor
for a romantic effect. |
|
 |
 |
|
We mimicked the candle and Rose
spheres aspect, but on a much smaller scale for the bar in the
Crescent Club. All of the dark, traditional woods paired with bright
and modern Oranges brought a fresh touch to a traditional space. |
'Naranja' and Orange
Unique" Roses give depth to a monochromatic palette. |
|
 |
 |
|
Low and clean all
Rose centerpieces in differing shades of Orange. |
Amazing cake from La Duni. Our
Orange Unique Roses dusted with powdered sugar emits such an
ethereal effect. |

This week’s topic: DO NOT be afraid of
orchids!
Some people are terrified of these absolutely exquisite flowers that
have a lasting power of anywhere between 6-8 weeks. We have had some
clients who have reported back to us that their orchids have maintained
blooms for almost 3-4 months. I think that 4 months is a bit much to ask
of an orchid, but I do think that for the money, an orchid is by far the
best bang for your buck.
Helpful tip #1: Please don’t over water your orchid. Watering once every
10 days or so depending upon the variety is sufficient. Take your orchid
still in it’s grow pot and submerge the pot into room temperature water
for at least 2 minutes. Allow the plant to drain thoroughly before
replacing in its decorative pot. I know a lot of you out there are
saying at this point to put an ice cube on top of the moss. This might
work in your particular situation and I know several very good friends
who tell me that I am wrong, but newer research does indicate that the
cold temperature of the water from the cubes can harm the roots by
sending them into shock. So there you go, you have been forewarned.
Helpful tip #2: Do not repot your orchid when you get it home and it is
in bloom. This will most certainly kill it. You only repot an orchid
every 2 years or so and NEVER when it is in bloom. Repot after the
blooming cycle is finished. Another no-no, please do not put your orchid
into traditional potting soil. Just as bad as repotting, soil suffocates
your orchids’ roots and will kill it as well.
Helpful tip #3: Keep your humidity up. These plants while used to
growing in the forests do very well if there is at least a bit of water
in the air. You don’t need to get some fancy humidifier; you can simply
put a plate of water directly under the plant making sure that you don’t
have any roots touching the water.
While I am sure that we are not going to have world wide orchid grower
dominance, perhaps we will have given you the courage to step out of
your comfort zone and try an orchid or two.

Robin

Today’s topic:
Helping beat this HORRIBLE heat!
Regarding this
heat, we all know we have been saddled with these normally August
temperatures since early June. What is the best way to help out
our container plants?
If you are
discussing indoor plants, people tend to water more in the summer and
less in the winter because they mimic their outdoor watering.
However, you should be watering slightly less in the summer because your
air is cooled and more in the winter when the heat is on and drying out
your soil.
Outside, you can
add mulch to the top of your potted plants, which will help keep the
moisture in, versus evaporating. Second, you need to water
thoroughly and depending on where the plant is located, you may be able
to water less if a longer watering period is afforded. A quick
sprinkle will not get down to the roots and provide the water that the
plant needs.
Water outdoors in
the early morning or late afternoon hours. Watering during the day
will not be very beneficial, because of the evaporation and run off due
to the dry soil. Additionally, watering at night can cause the
foliage to be more susceptible to fungal diseases. |

The Dummies Guide to
Rose Color Meanings
So often here at Dr Delphinium we are
asked what each rose color means and to be honest I couldn't tell you
the meaning of every color until now! I've put together this guide to
help you (and me) out! Let's get started
Red - The undeniable,
undisputable color of love. If you've been bitten by the love bug, shot
with cupid's arrow, or just really want to let her know how much you
care you can not go wrong with the Lovers rose.
White - Nothing says purity and
innocence like the white rose. Therefore, it is customarily associated
with marriages or new beginnings. The white rose also conveys a sense of
reverence and is often used as an expression of remembrance.
Yellow - With its warm and sunny
appearance, the yellow rose most often associated with friendship. A
true friend brings happiness and joy to our lives, what better way to
evoke those feelings with this truly luminous rose.
Pink - When I think girly I
think pink. Pink roses are known to express a sense of elegance,
refinement and an overall joyfulness. Whether they're a soft and
graceful pink or a sassy hot pink number, pink roses are sure to
impress!
Orange - Desire and passion can
all be summed up with this fiery rose! It's bold color stirs of feelings
of excitement and enthusiasm. What better way to spice things up?
Purple - Such a rare and magical
rose, how could one not be enchanted by these purple beauties? No wonder
they're often coupled with love at first sight.
And that is the end of our guide. I
hope that this has helped you ( I know that it has helped me!) Shed some
light on all these crazy rose color meanings. Happy rose giving!

PLANT BLOG #2

Today’s topic:
poisonous plants. Some plants while appearing friendly are really not.
Some of the more common interior plants that are poisonous are
Mistletoe, Diffenbachia, Ficus, Cyclamen, Peace Lily or Spath and Pothos
as well as English Ivy. Care should be taken if you have animals or
young children nibbling on these. These plants traditionally will not be
fatal, but can irritate the mouth, skin and stomach lining. The Pencil
Plant is a more harmful plant that can cause skin irritations wherever
the milky sap touches it and can cause serious stomach and mouth issues
if ingested.
Two other highly poisonous plants that are not as widely known about are
the ZZ plant as well as the Sago Palm. While all parts of the ZZ plant
should be avoided from ingestion, only the seeds of the Sago are
poisonous. These plants carry a dangerous level on the poison scale and
they should be carefully monitored if around pets or children.
If you have a plant concern or question, please e-mail me at
robin@drdelphinium.com.

Plants have many
similarities to people. They grow, have needs and prosper in the
right environments. Plants provide many uses to humans, including
medicine, food and wood. Additionally, they provide fragrance,
colors for dye, weapons, and a multitude of other applications.
Plants indoors
help both physically and mentally. They help to improve air
quality by reducing the amounts of mold and bacteria in the air, as well
as clean the air by absorbing pollution from smoking and cleaning
products. Mentally, it has been found that plants in the workplace
yield workers that are more productive.
When I look
at plants, I am happy. I am amazed at their minimal needs while
being so efficient. I am mesmerized at what nature has created and
how plants have evolved. I don’t know where these blogs are going
to take us, but I hope that I can write something that is educational
and uplifting; the way I feel when I observe plants.

Spring has arrived
at Dr. Delphinium
|
|
 |
Our designers have once again made the store look
unbelievable! They’ve captured the beauty of spring
with the very things that awaken the senses to the
season – the sounds of birds, sunshine and the scent
of fresh flowers.
Designer Kelley Faulkner found her inspiration from
the youthfulness of spring and the vibrancy of
blues - Tiffany Blue and Robin’s Egg Blue to
be exact. To capture the warmth of the sun, Kelley
added just a touch of gold to the floor décor.
Come into the store and see our new look! And while
you’re here, get your spring flowers!

|
 |
Larger than life bird nests!
Can you find the golden egg? |
|
|
Gucci Spring 2011 collection can be summed up in two
words –
BOLD & GOLD.
We can’t believe how much fun it is to see this color
palette on the runways this season! |
Just like fashion, orchids
never go out of style.

|
 |
|
Check this out!
Our designers came up with this fabulous
idea of a vase display to make the Dr.
Delphinium style even more accessible! Now

Buy 2 bunches & get the
3rd bunch free!*
Spring is almost here, so, in honor of a fresh
beginning, we're having a special on tulips - the
quintessential flower of the season!
*Limited time only!
Did you know...
Tulips are the 3rd most popular flower in the world.
Although tulips are often associated with the
Netherlands, commercial cultivation of the flower began
in the Ottoman Empire over 500 years ago.
The word tulip, is ultimately derived from Persian
dulband ("turban") |

Buehler Chardonnay
Spring is almost here! Which means picnics in the park. Our Buehler
Chardonnay is a great refresher to go with any picnic basket. It’s also
great with fruit and snacks and is a nice understatement compared to red
wine. Fantastic for an afternoon date or lunch with the girls. So when
you come to pick up your flowers don’t forget the wine rack by the door.

~WINE BLOG~

Groth Vineyard's Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing choice. This
beautifully colored white wine is sweet with hints of melon and citrus
without being too sweet. It's the perfect hostess gift for an afternoon
luncheon or outdoor party.
I am not a white wine drinker so I was a bit skeptical about this
tasting. While I tend to prefer reds to whites, I thought the Groth was
wonderfully drinkable. It's rather unsophisticated to phrase it this
way, but to me this wine was quite grapey. It paired wonderfully with
the salmon I made for dinner,and I think it would be beautiful matched
with a light salad. Although, I would be hesitant to serve it with
anything too heavy or savory. Also, I recommend you drink this wine well
chilled otherwise, as it warms up, it becomes heavier. All and all, I
enjoyed Groth Vineyard's Sauvignon Blanc.

~ WINE BLOG ~
When I was asked to write a blog about one of the products on the floor,
I knew almost immediately that I wanted to write about
something in our store that is often over-looked. Something that
to me is the perfect addition to a beautiful arrangement of
flowers; and something that I knew I would enjoy researching. WINE!
Most customers walk in and out of our store without
realizing that we have a great selection of high-end wines and champagne
available. For those stopping by to pick up a romantic gift, wine
is a very elegant addition to one of our orchids. Maybe it’s because I
love wine, but I think it’s appropriate for most occasions!
This month, I tried
75 Wine Company’s
Cabernet Sauvignon, a rich, full-bodied red. It paired wonderfully with
the beef stir-fry I made for dinner, and I think it would be just as
nice with a pasta dish or even chicken. This cabernet is complex, it
starts out a little bright and has a long, rich finish. This
is a typical Cabernet Sauvignon, perfect for anyone who enjoys red wine.
Extravagant enough to be an indulgent gift, yet accessible enough for
you to enjoy it with a casual dinner at home.
75 Wine Company’s
Cabernet Sauvignon can be purchased at Dr. Delphinium for $28.

AIFD Symposium
|
|
A few of us here at Dr. Delphinium had the opportunity to go
to the annual AIFD Symposium, which was held this year in
Boston. Amazing city for sure!! The florals were equally
incredible!! Here's a few shots of some of the amazing
creations!!

Any girl, yes including
those who work at a florist, love getting plants and flowers
for any occasion or lets be honest here, for no reason at
all! They are fun gifts for us to enjoy, make others a teeny
bit jealous and really just put a smile on our faces.
For this purpose I am going to narrow the field to date
night. When a special someone asks you out to dinner you are
normally thrilled but when they show up to "collect you" it
really sends you over the moon when they don't come empty
handed. I have been working at Dr. Delphinium for about
three years now and one of the "joys" of closing the store
is the rush of people who are about to take their
significant others out to dinner or just about to go on a
first date. The first thing I tell them is their hearts in
the right place and really its not about the flowers you
pick our but the gesture that you are bringing flowers at
all.
There are generally three different types of last minute
date flower buyers.
The traditional person heads straight for the roses, we have
great cash and carry specials, trying to figure out what
color rose isn't committing them to the rest of their lives
without them realizing it. The truth here is that any color
is great as long as you think she will like it. Really guys,
as long as it is not red most people are not sure what the
rose color means anyway.
Then we have the people who want to pick out every flower in
the store just to cover their bases. This is not a bad
approach but it's a good rule of thumb to stick to no more
than 3 or 4 varieties of blooms per bouquet.
The third type of customer is the minimalist or the modern
customer who likes to grab a bouquet of all one flower. This
is very elegant, simple and definitely a safe bet if you
know their favorite flower or color. Don't be afraid to go
for the "less is more" look.
You would be surprised how the simplest of bouquets really
brighten up a space once they are in a vase and no matter
which type of flower buyer you are we will wrap your
selection in bright colored tissue with rose petals and
ribbon. A presentation that is sure to impress and of course
make you look good, just don't forget the wine :)!

I have some exciting news to share.....we have Bonsai
trees!!! It was just decided one day when Charles
(the owner) came downstairs asking if we wanted some! Needless
to say we all were excited because we have been wanting to sell
them again. Bonsai trees are easy to take care of if you follow
the directions.....ONLY if you follow the directions and get to
know your plant just like any other plant. Bonsai's have a great
bohemian vibe and the containers that they are in excentuate
that vibe. Don't worry, we do have a lot that will fit in any
modern or contemporary home also. Come in our store today and
see them before they are gone....until then, you can get a sneek
peek at the pics below.

Here is an idea of how you
can have a bonsai in your home, design around it, and create a bohemian
kind of decor.

Things we do! |

So this weekend we had a
fabulous time setting up the gorgeous Dana Giddens Wedding at the Crescent
Court Hotel in Dallas. More amazing images to follow soon, I promise.
However, I couldn't not mention our lovely fountain canopy, designed
specifically for shade on our Hydrangea Orb. The Hydrangea held up
beautifully for the evening ceremony. |
