Apple Blossom Florist says there is another way to say I love you – how about a dozen beautiful long-stemmed red roses artfully arranged in a clear glass vase with exotic greenery. Ahhh – now That’s Amore!

The History of St. Valentine

St. Valentine was a priest who served in the 3rd century in Rome, Italy. After the Emperor Claudius banned marriage because he thought single men were better soldiers than married men, St. Valentine started marrying people in secret.

According to legend, when Valentine was discovered marrying people in secret, he was sentenced to death by the Emperor.

We at Apple Blossom Florist think that was a tad harsh.

Love is in the air..............

.......... no, we're not singing the theme from Love Boat, but talking about Valentine's Day! Apple Blossom Florist will be preparing hundreds of roses and other wonderful flowers for that very special person in your life. We will also have delicious chocolates and goody baskets, sweet stuffed bears to cherish, and more! Pop by soon - only 12 more days!

The chickadees at Apple Blossom Florist would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope that your New Year is filled with good health and happiness!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Apple Blossom Florist is getting ready for the big day, preparing all sorts of arrangements for your holiday table. We're as busy as elves these days!

Also, on Saturday, December 18th, Santa Claus himself is coming down from the North Pole to help make deliveries. Stop into Apple Blossom Florist to meet the jolly old fellow in person!

Lest We Forget

We hope everyone takes a moment to honour our Veterans of war, both past and present, this Remembrance Day 2010. The following very famous poem was composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields 

                                                                            - By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
