Autumn has Arrived Along with a Bountiful Fall Flower Selection

Summer is already gone and autumn has arrived – on September 22nd to be precise. And, we were already for the changing of the seasons by stocking up on fall flowers, fall flower arrangements, and fall plants. We’d like to share some of our newest fall flower arrangements.

It features orange and red roses along with Asiatic lilies and oak leaves in a sleek glass vase.

Celebrating the Jewish Holy Days

This year, the Jewish holy days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, fall on September 5-6 and September 14th, respectively. For the Jewish New Year, Jews celebrate Rosh Hashana starting at sunset on Wednesday, September 4th. Rosh Hashana The Jewish New Year occurs during the first two days of the Hebrew month known as Tishrei and is actually one of four Jewish New Years on the Hebrew calendar. As the start of the High Holy Days, Rosh Hashana, it marks the completion of the creation of the world and has been labeled as the day of judgment. This is a special day where Jews gather in synagogues and participate in extended services. It is during this time that they hear a spiritual call to repent and think about what they have done and what they can do to be more spiritual in their lives. Many delicious foods are also consumed on Rosh Hashanah, including raisin challah, honey cakes, and apples with honey. Yom Kippur Ten days after the Jewish New Year, Yom Kippur follows as the day of atonement where. During those 10 days, Jews have an opportunity to repent of their sins and ensure that they will not be judged among those that should die. This celebration is considered the holiest day of the year. Because it involves atonement, the focus is on intensive prayer and fasting with much time spent at the synagogue during the course of this holy day. Jewish Holy Day Celebrations To commemorate such special days, you may want to include special flower arrangements around your home or send some beautiful bouquets to family and friends also celebrating during this special time. This is a way to let others know that you [...]

Brighten Your Day with Sunflowers

One of the most beautiful summer flowers is the brilliantly designed sunflower.

A sunflower actually consists of 1,000 to 2,000 individual flowers together. What we think of as a sunflower is actually a sunflower head comprised of these thousands of smaller flowers. Sunflowers contain calcium and eleven other minerals. The tallest sunflower recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records was nearly 25 and a half feet tall! Sunflower seeds are a favorite as a raw, cooked, or roasted snack while the oil that is extracted from the seeds are often used for cooking.

California is the Perfect Source for a Wide Variety of Locally Grown Flowers

We, at Allen’s Flowers and Plants, are focused on providing fresh flowers, which means that we only partner with local flower farmers to ensure we get the best possible selection for our customers. It is just one of the reasons that we have voted the favorite San Diego florist so many years in a row! In San Diego County, we are fortunate to have many excellent flower farmers to partner with that share our vision of fresh and sustainable flowers. Our flower partners are part of the San Diego County Flower and Plant Association, which has over 200 members. Our climate in San Diego provides a great environment for year round flowers that we can locally source for all our flower bouquets, flower arrangements, and flower gifts. We also work with local growers who supply all of our San Diego flower shops with green plants, flowering plants, and fresh fruit for our gift baskets. For example, Carlsbad is known for its flower fields, including tulips, while the inland areas of San Diego County provide drier, more temperate climate for other types of flowers. Some of our partners also focus on organic farming and have initiated ‘green’ practices in their flower farming to ensure that the flowers are available for future generations to enjoy. What locally sourced flowers means for you is that the flowers do not have to travel so far before they get to us for hand arranging and hand delivering. That means more time in your hands as fresh flowers with a longer shelf life for you to enjoy. The bottom line means that this provides you with more value for your money. Other advantages mean that our local partnerships provide us with special access to unique flowers that [...]
