10 Ways To Say I Love You

2011-02-05T19:07:00.000-04:00

French - Je t'aime, Je t'adore
German - Ich liebe dich
Italian - Ti amo
Japanese - Aishiteru or Anata ga daisuki desu
Russian - Ya tebya liubliu
Spanish - Te quiero / Te amo
Arabic - Ana behibak (to male)
Arabic - Ana behibek (to female)
Chinese Cantonese - Ngo oiy ney a
Chinese Mandarin - Wo ai ni

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

2011-02-03T16:03:00.000-04:00

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..............

Lest We Forget

2010-11-02T12:31:00.002-03:00

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

It's Prom Time!

2010-06-14T20:56:00.000-03:00

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!
