About
Us
Well, it seems that everyone has gone into the flower business these days. Grocery and department stores, quick marts and gas stations have even gotten into the act. Many of these have their plants and flowers travel and sit for days in national distribution, then regional distribution, then local distribution and then it sits in the store a few days before it ever gets to you. We buy our flowers and plants from quality growers and local distributors. We eliminate the middlemen and bring the freshest flora to our clientele. But…we’re still not finished at Ninth Street. We then inspect the flowers closely before we sell them. Why? Our business and our livelihood are built entirely on our reputation and by the quality product (freshness and design) that we bring to the market place. We will not compromise. We will, however, guarantee your 100% satisfaction. |
Flowers: How to Lengthen the Life of Your Arrangement A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive. The Society of American Florists provides these tips for longer-lasting, more vibrant flowers:
Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing
a flower food provided by your florist. Flower foods make flowers
last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions
on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with either
a pint or a quart of water. Flower foods should not be diluted
with more water than is specified on the packet. Keep your flowers in a cool place until you can get them in a
flower food solution. Don't forget how important it is to follow
the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Not only are green and flowering plants a great enhancement to any home or office decor, they are also beneficial to your health. The results of a study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) show that common houseplants are powerful, natural air cleaners - all the more reason why you want to keep your plants healthy with the proper care. Most plants come with care instructions specified for the type
of plant. The Society of American Florists provides these additional
general guidelines to keep most green houseplants thriving: Keep plants in medium-light locations - out of direct sunlight Plant soil should be kept moist at all times Avoid excessive heat or cold Info Provided by aboutflowers.com |

“The flowers were out of this world!!! The arrangement
for [our] table was especially beautiful. It is sitting on our
coffee table right now. I can’t get over it. Everyone said
the flowers were superb. Even the little tiny pots with the Gerber
daisies and the kiwi. I noticed all the little details. I was really
blown away. Thank your grower from me and thank yourself and thank
everyone at 9th Street. I couldn’t have been more thrilled.
We took them all with us and distributed them among our friends.
The narcissus are filling our bedroom with that beautiful scent.
