Connie's Corner

Welcome to Connie's Corner!  I look forward to sharing "Flower Talk" with you every month, and please feel free to call (293-5584) or e-mail (connie@sautters.net) me with questions or comments.

Okay...lets talk Daisies!  Fresh Gerberas Daisies arrive nearly every day to be used in floral arrangements and bridal bouquets.  This dasy is a versatile flower so its no wonder florists love to use it in arrangements.

Did you know...the Gerberas Daisy is in the genus of ornamental plants from the sunflower family of Asteraceae.  Gerberas are available in a myriad of bright colors that include yellow, orange, red, pink, and of course white.

Another Daisy fact....this bright beauty is the 5th most often used cut flower in the world, after roses, carnations, mums, and tulips.

If we need another reason to love these plants, research by NASA has shown growing Gerbera Daisies to be effectual in the removal of Benzene, a well known carcinogen, from the air.

So next time you need to brighten your day, or that of a loved one, call us for a Gerbers Daisy bouquet!
