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

Happy Hallowe'en!!!

It's the spookiest time of the year - when all the little goblins and ghosts make their annual appearance.

Apple Blossom Florist is dressed for the occasion, as you can see on our Seasonal Photos page. We did an amazing job decorating the store and window - so much that our local paper sent their photographer over to take a picture! Check it out! Look closely and you can see Tunde in the window! :)

Apple Blossom has prepared all sorts of creeeeepy arrangements to scare and delight your family and friends!

It's Prom Time!

Yes, it's that time of the year again - Prom season! We've been busy taking orders for corsages and boutonnierres.  One of the newer things this year in the world of body flowers is bling! We can bejewel the flowers or leaves to create sparkle and glitz with all sorts of little coloured faux gemstones. I wish these had been available when I went to my own prom!
Congratulations graduates of 2010! We wish you much success and happiness in your future!
