Limbo Update!

These roses turned out to be a surprise beauty. They are a very deceiving color at first but open up to a very pretty yellow color. The petals have so much character! What do you all think?

Hibiscus Pods

These unique looking pods are from the Hibiscus Flower. Once the flower blooms the petals fall away leaving the "ovary" of the plant or the pod. The pods we received are a beautiful red color. What are your thoughts?

Employee Spotlight

Luke! This week we are spotlighting one of our drivers. Luke has worked for Stevens for a year and a half. He likes his job because he gets to drive around and see the state. He does the Boulder run and gets to see the beautiful flatirons. He also loves plants and the greenhouse environment.  His mom owns a flower business, so Luke grew up around flowers. His favorite flower is a Dahlia. Luke is a very enthusiastic and inquisitive fellow and is always asking questions.

Christmas is HERE!

Look what we got in this morning!!!

Our entire warehouse is full of boxes and wreaths.

Employee Spotlight

This week we are highlighting the lovely Laurel. Laurel has worked at Stevens for 6 years. She just recently semi-retired from her position in sales to a part time position working in our hard goods department. Laurel adores her job because she loves flowers and the crew here at Stevens. The flowers that top her favorites list are Coxcomb and Orchids/Mokara. She is one of those crazy kids that loves the snow, and now that we are gearing up for the holidays and that yummy turkey dinner, I asked Laurel what special dish will be on her table...Pecan Squares. Yum! In her spare time she likes to throw...pottery that is, and spend time with her cat Jaz. Laurel is notorious for the constant mispronunciation of her name...Laura, Lauren, Laurie, Lau....

Free Spirit Update

Just wanted to give you all an update on how our Rose of the Week - Free Spirit is opening up. Absolutely stunning don't you think?
