It's Looking Like Spring Around Here...

Ahhhh Spring!!!

Are you like us and ready for spring? Well we are getting a running start on the spring plants. We just received about 1000 cuttings that now it’s up to us to make them grow to where you can come in and pick them up to plant in your yard. We received Dragon Wing Begonias, Coleus plants, Zinnia plants and Angelonia plants. Randy our Greenhouse man is in the midst of re planting them all. They come in long trays that have anywhere from 120 plants to a tray up to 200 plants. Below are some pictures of what just came in…

The Azalea's are here...

 

Cyclamen's...

 

Baby Dragon Wing Begonia's...

 

This is how big the Begonias are when we get them in...

 

A tray of Zinnia's there is 200 in this tray alone...

 

This is how big the Zinnia's are...

 

Coleus plants, there is over 100 in this tray...

 

Little bitty baby Coleus...

 

All of these baby plants will be ready for you to pick up and plant in your yard by the first week of April. So we will see you in a few weeks...

Whoosh It's Over!!!

Whoosh it's Over!!!

Well Valentine’s Day is over and we made it through… It was a mad rush around here on Wednesday, Thursday and especially Friday. The flowers were flying…. LOL The major part of our work was Dozen Red Roses; those were what were ordered most out of everything else.

The numbers are not counted yet but we did a ton of flowers, at any given time our back cooler that is about 25’ x 25’ was full of not only with our loose flowers but all the arrangements that we had made up ready for delivery. We had 7 drivers those three days and the trucks were full each trip. We covered most all of the Oklahoma City area and even went to Edmond which is kind of out of our delivery area.

Now the cleanup begins, we are trying to regroup and get the shop back in working order. Most people don’t realize all the work and effort that goes into doing a major Holiday like this. It takes about two weeks of planning and ordering all the flowers and sometimes it’s kind of guess work as to how much to order and what all that we think that we will be selling in those three days.

Then it comes down to all the additional staff that we need to make this happen. We had 7 designers and 5 people on the phones. And all in all things went smoothly for us this year. We hope that those of you that ordered your flowers and either picked them up or had them delivered we hope that you were pleased with what we did for you and we hope that you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day…

Thanks,
Jac and the Staff at Morrison’s


Below are some pic’s of what we did for Valentine’s…

And Valentine's Rush Begins...
February 12th 2014

So now the madness begins. The phones are ringing off the walls.. lol  We are just beginning to get phone orders for Valentine's flowers. As a jack of all trades in the floral industry I have seen it all and done it all.. Just sayin 

In not trying to offend anyone I am  just wondering, but why do people wait till the last minute to order flowers for this special day?  Everyone knows when Valentine's Day is but it just seems that everyone waits till the very last minute to order their flowers. Most everyone expects to have their flowers delivered on Valentine's Day and if you only knew how many orders that we get and deliver in that one day it would blow your mind as how we get it all done..

As you saw from my last post the preparations that we go through in order to make everything al little easier for this one day. Here's some pictures of everyone working to get it all prepared. I'm not sure if I will be able to post anything else until after the mad rush ends.. And Remember to order your flowers TODAY.... Just Sayin... LOL

Debbie getting her vase ready for roses...

 

Ann In the midst of spraying Green Glow.. And I love all

the bows hanging above her. In just a couple of days all those and many

more will be gone..

 

The Boss Man, Richard handling business...

 

Tracy getting all the plants ready...

 

The large walk in cooler that we have is about

25' x 25' and it's just beginning to fill up... Just wait and see it

Friday... I'll have to get some pics of that and post them.

 

Just a few arrangements ready to go out early...

 

 

Well everyone remember to order your flowers today or tomorrow or Friday.. We may be working till the wee hours of the morning but we will get it all done..  Hope that everyone has a Wonderful Valentine's Day with the one they love..

Eerie Quietness, February 10-2014

There is an Eerie Quietness about the shop this morning... Seems in this business of  doing flowers that you have these moments right before the Poop hit's the fan.. LOL Nearly every major Holiday happens this way, seems that everyone knows that Valentine's Day is only 4 days away but for some reason the phones don't start ringing until just the day before the Big Day..

Well for all of you last minute callers we want to tell you that if you order your flowers and have them delivered either the 12th or the 13th you will receive either choice of a heart shaped box of Chocolate Fudge (Yummm) or a mylar balloon. So remember when you call in to ask us about our special offer to you for having your flowers delivered early.

Help save your Florist's sanity and order early!!! PLEASE....

Heart shaped Chocolates come in three different sizes Small 3.5" Medium 4.5"

Large 6" And just let me tell you they are AMAZING!!!

 

Remember to order your Flowers before the Mad Rush on Valentine's Day... It sure helps your Florist out.. :-) oh and check out the link below to see our Valentine's Website.

And the Count Down Begins!!!
Nine days and counting to Valentine's Day...



As you all know that Valentine's Week is one of the busiest days in a Flowershop.
So here at Morrison Floral Company  we are gearing up for the mad rush.
Most people don't realize what all it takes to get someone that you Love a simple dozen roses for February the 14th.

First of all we have to anticipate approximately how many orders that we think that we are going to get for the week of Valentine's.  This is determined from the last year, but you always have to anticipate that you will receive more orders than you did the previous year.

In our favor here at Morrison's we have our own Floral Wholesale department that is located right here and we have the ability to run across the parking lot and just grab another bunch of roses. Having our own wholesale also helps us to keep our prices lower so that it's not costing you a fortune to just send a dozen roses.

As some of you know the roses come from out of this country usually from Mexico and other more tropical places. These flowers are cut and shipped with in the same day. They come to us fresh and ready for us to strip, clean and prepare for the container that they are going in.

Then it takes a Creative Floral Designer to put it all together. I am sure you are thinking that it's just a simple thing if throwing your roses in a vase but we have certain ways that we design that  make your bouquet outstanding and something that your Sweetheart will love.

So we hope that you will give Morrison Floral Company a call and order your Valentine's flowers Today. Please don't wait till the last day.. lol :)

Here are some shot's of us getting the shop ready for the Big Day.



And it starts with the buckets. This is just a few that we have on hand. I feel for Michael who is our chief bucket washer...

 

The Vases... Here's a few that are getting prepped.

 

Getting all fancied up for the Big Day...

 

Some of our special vases and crystal.

 

Here's just a little more Valentine's Stuff...

Just in Time for Valentine's Week, we have created our own Valentine's Website check it out and see all our cool looking arrangements that you won't see on any other website...
