<h2><strong>Awesome Flower and Plant Identification Apps</strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://whatsthatflower.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-1724 size-full" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/06/z1WhatsThatFlower.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150"></a></p>
<h3><strong>What's That Flower?</strong></h3>
<p>This flower identification app starts with about the flower you want to identify. First, you select the color, the habitat, and then the number of petals it has. Based on your answers, the app presents a multitude of flower varieties that fall into that category. It's fun to peruse through all the flowers. Plus, when you select a particular flower, you can learn more about it including its taxonomy.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-1728 alignnone" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/06/z2Flower-Checker.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150"></p>
<h3><strong>FlowerChecker</strong></h3>
<p>This identification app is service-based where you upload a picture of an unknown plant or flower (or lichen, moss, and even fungi) and a team of real botanists will reply. The response may take several minutes or several hours, but the developers claim to be able to identify over 90% of plants. Each correct identification costs .99 cents, but there is no charge if they are unable to provide an identification.</p>
<p><strong> <a href="https://www.picturethisai.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-1725 size-thumbnail" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/06/z3Picture-This--150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150"></a></strong></p>
<h3><strong>PictureThis</strong></h3>
<p>This app uses artificial intelligence to identify plants and flowers and is very easy to use. Just upload a photo of the plant you want to be identified, or take a picture, and then just wait for it to do its magic. The developers claim the advanced AI of this app has identified over 27 million plants with 99% accuracy. In addition to identification, PictureThis also provides plant care tips, diagnoses for sick plants, pest control for plants, and more. This app is a subscription-based app but offers a 7-day free trial period.</p>
<p><strong> <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/plantnet/id600547573" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-1726 size-thumbnail" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/06/z4PlantNet-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150"></a></strong></p>
<h3><strong>PlantNet</strong></h3>
<p>Similar to PictureThis, you upload or take a picture of a plant or flower and visual recognition software will provide potential matches. Their database includes flowering plants, grasses, trees, conifers, vines, cacti, and more. PlantNet is also a citizen science project in that all the plant photos are collected and analyzed by botanists around the world to better understand plant biodiversity. This is a free app and is very well-reviewed.</p>

It's hard to believe that it's almost the end of August. Labor Day, which always falls on a Monday, is two-and-a-half weeks away already. Sadly, for Los Angelinos, that means that summer is practically over. We hope you have something special planned for the Labor Day weekend, and <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a></strong> wants to encourage you ' our customers to add flowers to your Labor Day meal table, whether you're eating inside, having a backyard barbecue, or a beachside picnic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 when President Grover Cleveland signed the bill, creating the law that designated the first Monday of September as the nation's annual Labor Day observance. Efforts to establish a holiday on which to honor America's workers began in 1885 at the municipal level. Two years later, on February 21, 1887, Oregon became the first state to pass legislation declaring that the first Monday of September would be observed as a statewide holiday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The concept for a Labor Day holiday wasn't something the government came up with; it was an idea that came from workers and the labor unions who fought for them. The last two decades of the 19<sup>th</sup> century marked the heyday of the Industrial Revolution.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/roses-daisies/"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-457" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104.jpg" alt="labor day" width="450" height="500" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104-270x300.jpg 270w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px"></a></p>
<p>While it meant huge advances in technology, life for the average American worker was miserable. Most people worked 12-hour days, without any days off, and it wasn't unusual to find young children working in factories, mills, or mines, earning a fraction of what adults earned for the same jobs. This is what inspired the efforts to establish a national holiday to honor laborers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We think that<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/roses-daisies/"><strong> 'A Garden of Grandeur'</strong></a> is the perfect floral arrangement for a summertime picnic. The rustic basket is full of brightly colored seasonal flowers that look like something you'd expect to find in someone's lush flower garden. The basket has a handle to make it easy to carry to your backyard, to the beach, or picnic table elsewhere. For a nice finishing touch, we add decorative raffia bow.</p>

Tropical and sub-tropical ecosystems are characterized by many months of hot temperatures, and shorter periods of heavy rains. But although we may not be tropical, we do love all things sunny, colorful and beautiful ' so the tropical flowers that are trending this season fit right into our lifestyles!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-hawaiian-exotic/" rel="attachment wp-att-603"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-603" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621.jpg" alt="tropical flowers" width="450" height="474" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621-285x300.jpg 285w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px"></a>Perhaps the most recognizable tropical flower is the dramatic <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2882">bird of paradise</a>. The sharp angles, the bold orange color, and the regal stalks make this bloom the perfect star of your arrangement. These confident flowers are emblematic of paradise and are often paired with the royal purple <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-hawaiian-exotic/">dendrobium orchid</a>, an exotic flower whose delicate composition and vivid hue play off the birds of paradise for a striking combination. To further bring the tropics into your home, consider adding anthurium or red ginger to your arrangement. Both of these vibrantly hued, stately flowers stand tall and add a rich red tropical hue. For a completely different aesthetic, layer in some conversation-starting protea or Fuji mums in exotic colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2882" rel="attachment wp-att-605"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-605" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_AMS124412061374806120910102559-853x1024.jpg" alt="tropical flowers" width="477" height="571"></a>For those looking for a more subtle rain forest feeling, bromeliads are a perfect choice. Quintessentially tropical, yet always appropriate ' potted bromeliads come in several warm colors and make for an attractive and elegant floral display that fits in anywhere.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2889" rel="attachment wp-att-604"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-604" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_AMS1130S11080551731120910110345-853x1024.jpg" alt="tropical flowers" width="450" height="538"></a>In the summer, we all like to dream of being on a warm beach, with a palm tree overhead and a cool drink in our hands. If that dream is not going to become a reality this season, add some gorgeous tropical blooms to your d'cor, sit back, and allow your deck or patio to become your tropical paradise.

Aside from being exquisite offerings from nature, both the ruby and the delphinium have also been chosen to officially represent birthdays in the month of July ' the first as the birthstone, the second as the birth flower.</p>
<p>As one of only four true gemstones in the world, the ruby holds a special place of distinction. Known as the 'king of stones,' the jewel has been coveted by rulers for thousands of years. Not only was the ruby reported to ward off enemies, invaders and evil spirits ' very important attributes for those in tribal cultures ' a true deep red ruby is exceptionally rare and therefore only royalty and the highest levels of society were deemed worthy of owning one. A person would be gifted with the benefits of the ruby simply by wearing it; qualities which included peace, wealth, good fortune and passion. Legend says that during July, the stone's essence and spiritual powers are heightened.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2708"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-631" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_FW1089090116122355.gif" alt="hollywood birthday" width="391" height="434"></a>Did You Know: Birthstones became popular in 15th century Poland when one was chosen for each month. The list has changed over the centuries but has remained largely unchanged since 1912. Traditionally, wearing the appropriate birthstone in each month would transfer each stone's gifts to the wearer, regardless of birthday.</p>

Therefore it is entirely appropriate that the alternate way to celebrate a July birthday is the delicate blue delphinium flower. The expert designers at French Florist can create a unique arrangement that blends the essence of the ruby with the lovely hue of the delphinium, resulting in a personal birthstone / flower inspired bouquet.</p>

CHRYSANTHEMUMS: THE PERFECT FALL FLOWER

March 8<sup>th</sup> represents a day perhaps not as well known as most, but of great importance to the global family.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Over 100 years ago, a group of women gathered to protest the inequality and oppression they faced living in a Soviet bloc nation; within years the movement had spread to neighboring countries and into Europe. In 1909 the first rally occurred on U.S. Shores, in New York City; but it wasn't until the United Nations adopted the initiative in 1977 that the movement gained wide acceptance. Today, 30 nations including the United States have officially named March 8<sup>th</sup> as International Women's Day; in 2011, President Obama designated the entire month of March as Women's History Month.</p>

<p>Over the last century there have been countless women who have made history across the world for their brave journey into traditionally male oriented positions. Margaret Thatcher in politics, Sally Ride at NASA, and Amelia Earhart in aviation are just a few of thousands of examples. From Harriet Tubman to Elizabeth Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Coretta Scott King, women have been in the forefront of many civil rights battles. Today the cause is global, as social media unites our world in ways never before possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although the women in your life may not be famous yet, they no doubt have impact on many people in your communities. From teachers and mentors to public servants, women continue to influence the world in ways large and small. On March 8<sup>th</sup>, celebrate International Women's Day by thanking them for all they do. <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com">French Florist</a>&nbsp;has unique floral designs, bouquets and arrangements for every occasion, but perhaps none more important than honoring the people making a positive impact every day.</p>

But they are also play a critical role in our ecosystem, and are far more than just a 'pretty face'. From inviting butterflies, to supporting the cause of the honeybees, to repelling&nbsp;pesky insects ' these incredible plants provide many other benefits. This summer, let French Florist assist you in&nbsp;creating butterfly and bee gardens that&nbsp;will enhance your environment in many ways.</p>
<p><strong>But Won't They Sting Me?</strong>&nbsp;According to experts, the honeybee population has dramatically decreased in the last 20 years. Because they are so important in maintaining a sufficient and healthy food supply, anything that we can each do to help them to thrive is a great idea. And don't worry, honeybees pose little threat of stinging when they are collecting nectar; they are generally only aggressive when protecting the hive, or cornered.&nbsp;<span id="more-1018"></span>Bees and butterflies are attracted to many of the same plants, and you can create a single garden with plenty of flowers to attract them both! Although some people create gardens&nbsp;which are complex, you can also design a very simple oasis. You'll need bright, nectar filled flowers, such as sunflowers, asters and goldenrod. For even more success, plant clover, butterfly bushes, geraniums, milkweed, zinnias and hyacinth. Bee also love snapdragons, which can add a lot of interest and color to a garden.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2737"><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft wp-image-1020 size-medium" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/06/french-1-270x300.jpg" alt="butterfly gardens " width="270" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/06/french-1-270x300.jpg 270w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/06/french-1.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px"></a>Here's a Tip:</strong>&nbsp;If you don't want to actually plant a garden, you can have the same result with dish gardens, potted plants, or even herb gardens!</p>
<p>Some of our favorite flowers can also be utilized as natural plant repellents, and placing them around a backyard deck may help you to have a bug-free evening. Chrysanthemums are a powerhouse when it comes to warding off pests, including&nbsp;roaches, ants, Japanese beetles, ticks, silverfish, lice, fleas, bedbugs, and spider mites! Marigolds will keep aphids and mosquitoes at bay, and the delicately beautiful allium flower will defend against pests that attack&nbsp;vegetable gardens. Sometimes called 'nature's pesticide', petunias also keep watch over vegetable gardens ' you can plant them, or keep them in hanging pots surrounding the area.</p>
<p>When imagining&nbsp;an outdoor space for summer entertaining, don't forget the flowers! Not only are they lovely, but they can make your own little world a better place. Trust the floral experts at <a href="http://frenchflorist.com">French Florist</a> to help you choose just the right varieties for bee and butterfly gardens everyone will love.</p>

If you're new to having them, though, then it's important to make sure you place your plant in an area where it can get plenty of light. Remember, though, what seems like a well-lit room to you may still not have adequate amounts of light reach your plant to ensure it grows like it should. If your plant is exhibiting any of the below marks of insufficient lighting, then read on for more helpful hints and tips to ensure your plants flourish and thrive so you can enjoy their benefits. When you're finished, peruse <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">French Florist's</span></a><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> plant catalog for more beautiful plants to bring into your home.</span></p>
<h2><strong>Evidence of Insufficient Light on Your Plants</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Leggy</strong></h3>
<p>Long, slender stems are known as 'leggy' and are a sure sign your plant requires more light. In a plant's quest for survival, they will stretch and reach to capture as much light as possible. Leggy stems also have wide spaces between adjacent leaves. This space is called the internodal space and is much smaller in healthy plants. Large internodal spaces are symptoms of a light-starved plant.</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_1399026737.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-6766" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_1399026737.jpg" alt="Leggy Plant" width="450" height="300"></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Small Leaves</strong></h3>
<p>Scarcity of light means a plant isn't getting enough energy to grow its leaves to the proper size. To conserve the small amount of energy it is getting, a plant will produce smaller leaves. Match new growth to older growth to ascertain if there is a stark contrast in size.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Leaning</strong></h3>
<p>A lopsided or leaning plant signals the entire plant is not getting satisfactory sunlight. Plants will grow and stretch to absorb as much light as possible and this could lead to a one-sided plant. Make sure your plant is in a well-lit area and give it turn every time you water it so all the leaves get equal amounts of light.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Abnormal Leaf Color</strong></h3>
<p>Light green or yellow leaves that start to drop off are signs of poor lighting. Without decent lighting, chlorophyll, which gives a leaf its green color, cannot carry out the photosynthesis process which keeps leaves green and healthy. Also, if your plant has variegated coloring, in an effort to absorb as much light as possible, the colored leaves will revert to all green.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Slowed Growth</strong></h3>
<p>During the spring and summer plants should exhibit a significant amount of growth. If yours does not, then it could indicate weak lighting. No new growth of stunted growth are warnings a plant is not receiving sufficient energy from light to become lush and big.</p>
<h2><strong>Getting the Light Right</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_301462706.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-6762" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_301462706.jpg" alt="Healthy Plants" width="450" height="300"></a></p>
<p>As it is possible for a plant to receive too much light also, resulting in scorched tips or 'burnt' patches on the leaves, getting the lighting right for a plant may be tricky. Only sun-worshipping plants should be in direct lighting for 6 or more hours a day. These would be cacti, succulents, and palm plants. Otherwise, indirect bright light works best for most other plants. Just realize that every foot away from a window that a plant is moved to is exponentially decreased light for the plant. You may not see it, but the plant will.</p>
<p>Try out different sunny places in your home and if you're unable to move your plant to a better lit spot, then get a grow light, which will allow you to place your plant anywhere. Grow lights will ensure your plant gets enough light to remain healthy and happy.</p>

<p>When Carl Rittner opened his School of Floral Design in Boston, he had the vision of teaching students to take designing flowers to a whole new level. Considered a champion of the industry and a pioneer in the field, Rittner's students wished to honor him in a special way, and they began to observe Floral Design Day on February 28th, Rittner' birthday. In 1995 the mayor of Boston made the day an official holiday for the city, but the idea has since spread across the United States. Talented floral professionals right here in Los Angeles daily create works of art in a living medium, making life just a little more beautiful.&nbsp;<span id="more-918"></span><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-921" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/02/an-267x300.jpg" alt="designing flowers" width="267" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/02/an-267x300.jpg 267w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/02/an.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px"><br>
Floral design through the centuries has reflected the culture and society of the era. To this day, the bouquets and arrangements are designed in styles reminiscent of the past. For instance, in Victorian times flowers were used to send secret messages. Because each flower meant something specific, large lavish bouquets of mixed flowers were commonplace. Today, an unkempt wildflower arrangement would resemble&nbsp;a floral design of those times. Another popular design today. that of tropical flowers in modern designs can be traced back to the Art Deco era (approximately 1925). Sharp lines and geometric angles were all the rage in the art world, which influenced design of all kinds.</p>
<p>The Art Nouveau movement also looked to geometric shapes for inspiration but concentrated on the characteristic 'violent curves' and movement captured in the design. Curvaceous containers, soft petaled flowers such as orchids, and natural elements such as curly willow add to the fluid feel of the design, with none of the sharp linear aspect of the prior style. &nbsp;Another influence on orchid and exotic flower design is the Japanese discipline of ikebana.</p>
<p>Designing flowers today is a truly artistic endeavor that incorporates influences from all times and places. Whether you prefer the lavish romance of the wildflowers, or the delicate movement of the orchid branch, you can trust the experts at <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> to create the perfect design.</p>
