Deck the Halls


We’ve been busy decking the halls, walls and everything else at both Sammy’s locations! Our popular Della Robia wreaths have arrived. Available in candle ring, medium 22" and large 30" sizes, each unique wreath is handmade by Sammy’s Flowers. We have classic holiday plants including poinsettias, amaryllis, paperwhites and a selection of living evergreen trees perfect for decorating your home. And don’t forget your holiday cut tree — chose from a variety of full stately nobles or its hipster cousin the lodgepole pine. Stop by either location and load up on some holiday cheer!

Fall branches and accents


Fall brings us the opportunity to work with fabulous autumn leaves and branches to create fun, seasonal arrangements. Autumnal foliages such as pin oak, ninebark, magnolia, viburnum, and smokebush add great seasonal color. Branches and berries round out the color selection: bittersweet vine, manzanita, dogwood, huck, ilex and witchhazel are are fall favorites. Shown above are two tall statement arrangements that are striking examples utilizing fall branches and accents.

About flowers: Pansy Orchids


There are quite literally thousands of orchid varieties. Just one of our favorite orchids is the Miltoniopsis, aka Pansy orchid. Multi stemmed and multi bloomed, the Pansy orchid provides a great pop of color. The Pansy orchid prefers to be moist, so water when its soil is starting to dry. If the orchid leaves develop wrinkles or striations, this means it's dehydrated and requires more water. Like most orchids, this one prefers indirect, bright light and warm daytime temperatures. 

Care: Bright, indirect light • Ave Water • Ave indoor temperature
