		<title>February Rose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Proteas are such an amazing flower.  Native to South Africa, the flower can easily live 7-10 days in a fresh arrangement.  And, better yet, as it matures, it will dry and look fabulous for months.  It keeps its color and form – just gets a little darker and of course, crispy.

		<title>The Feminine Touch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Check out the fashion runways for the perfect Valentine’s arrangement. I am loving all the feminine touches in the shows this year.  Lacy, textured, beaded and ruffled&#8230; dresses, skirts and flowing fabrics…It’s fun to be a girl!!!. Dress up your flowers with a touch of the “runway”. A ruffle of ribbon and a wrap [...]]]></description>

		<title>The message is in the flowers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[February is the month of love and nothing says, “I love you” better than flowers.  The whisper of a single rose is so romantic.  Or, an exuberant vase of roses and other fragrant flowers shouts to the world, I LOVE YOU!!!

		<title>Contemporary Beauty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Orchids and roses are so elegant together. My favorite, the Black Magic rose is stunning with the garnet red Arachnid orchid. Designed in unique, wired cylinders, they are sure to be the center of attention and topic of conversation. I’ll tell you a little secret: The flowers are in individual tubes so you can easily [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paperwhite Fragrance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you miss the scent of pine when you take out all the holiday decorations?  I do!  The house seems so empty and the fabulous holiday fragrance is gone.  Paperwhites are the best floral “quick fix”.  A single plant can perfume an entire room – maybe even the house.  Stop by your Flora2000 florist and [...]]]></description>

Finally, a moment for you to meditate and focus on nurturing the soul. Treat yourself and meditate on this textural pavé of flowers. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amaryllis Snowflake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful!
And since we&#8217;ve no place to go, 
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. 
 
 
January snow is such a treat for the skier. For those of us that prefer to snuggle by the fire, a snowflake adorned amaryllis plant is perfect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Embrace the change this New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The stark, bare branches with just a few leaves (Nandina) that change color before falling signify the inevitable change which is an integral part of life. This bewitching ensemble fills one with optimism and sets the tone for the events to follow.

		<title>Happy New Year!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year!
In my world, New Year’s celebrations scream for white.  After all the chaos and bright colors (I do love red!) of December, white is a welcome relief before the red returns with Valentine’s Day. (Yes, it is just around the corner!)  If you are like me, you will love the simplicity of white, [...]]]></description>
