Closed Fischer & Page

Closing of wholesaler

This Friday so the closing of one of the New York flower markets finest flower wholesaler. It was very sad to seem the closed. When I first started in the business Joe was the kindest guy who helped pick the best flowers in the store. That was many moons ago.
I wish everybody at the store the very best of health and success in their new ventures.

White dahlias

Leucadendron is one of 80 varieties belonging to the Protea family. They are native to South Africa. They can grow as tall as 16 m. The plant when cut is very hardy and relatively long lasting, upto two weeks ideally.
Half of the species carry the seed in a fire proof pod. The seeds are only released after a fire has killed the plant.
