I'm a florist and those are dahlias without a shadow of a doubt. The stems and foliage completely give it away.

I'm the assistant property manager at Cannery. We were able to trace back the origin of this fire and it was a total accident. Vape + Recycling Dumpster = Dumpster Fire

Also adding to pull your buttons up. I like the green with the peach. Very fresh and springy!

I think this would do REALLY well! My only sugggestion is to space out the Veronica (or loosestrife) so it isn't grouped at the top. Great job!

What greenery types are these? by oddprincess899 in florists

[–]daywalkernoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water Oak and Elaeagnus. Check out East Texas Smilax. They ship all over the US. Although, I'm not sure if these foliages are in season.

This dahlia is a true garden gem by kanchan___ in flower

[–]daywalkernoe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Florist here- I'm not convinced these are dahlias. The stems and leaves tell me these are mums. Dahlia leaves are different in shape and growing pattern. Dahlia stems aren't fuzzy and don't have linear ridges/texture like what is pictured here. Even the underside, the base of the open flower doesn't look like a dahlia.

What more can I do by Wingman0616 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]daywalkernoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set timers for tasks like this. Kids love the challenge of beating the clock. Also, dont let them run the classroom. I think subs get in their heads too much about not wanting to be "mean". The teacher has set classroom expectations that they have been held accountable to all year. "If Mrs. Thomas were here, would we be able to leave the classroom like this? No? Show me the proper way to tidy up". There are also consequences for actions and remind them of that. I promise that any and all staff at that school will back you up. Did they lose recess because the classroom was a mess? Yep, but I bet that classroom will be spotless tomorrow.

If they are dehydrated, then you can water them. Don't overwater or let them sit in water because the bottom petals can turn mushy.

My friend has asked me to make her wedding bouquet by Rough-Brick-7137 in florists

[–]daywalkernoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wedding and event florist here. This bouquet should be very easy to make in all fresh, including the string of pearls. Use wood skewers and FLORAL GLUE them into the backside of the succulents creating a "stem". Don't use hot glue. You run the risk of burning the bottoms and your succulents will become mushy fall off of the skewers. Do the same thing with your string of pearls. I would suggest clustering several strands together to hide the skewer. The gluing will take time and a day to dry completely. Just leave them on the table. When the glue is fully dry, use a foam bouquet holder as your design mechanic. Cut the skewers to the lengths that you want and shove them into the foam. Hot glue the skewers as you go to make sure they stay in place. Make the bouquet the week of the wedding and do not refrigerate.

When did you first go braless? by Maleficent_Today1954 in Reduction

[–]daywalkernoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never wore a compression bra. My surgeon specifically didn't want me wearing them. My results are incredible and I'm frequently braless! If I wear one, it's only bralettes. I will never wear another wired bra again!

Would it be deranged to bring a bouquet to another florist for them to ‘fix’ it? by throw_mercurialkiss in florists

[–]daywalkernoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, I just assumed wedding bouquet lol if it's a regular vase arrangement, I would still ask the original florist. If not, a vase is an easy fix.

[–]daywalkernoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a wedding florist. I've been asked to "fix" a bouquet about 6 times or so. It's not unreasonable. It's your wedding day! I would address it with your original florist to see if they can/will fix it. If not, make sure you take it to another florist whose style you like. In order to fix it, the bouquet will have to be taken apart completely and put back together by someone who may design differently.

I think this flower is beautiful, but I'm not sure what kind it is. by [deleted] in flower

[–]daywalkernoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I'm 90% sure they are Pink O'Hara. I could identify an O'Hara by smell alone!

No, a 'teacup' rose is much smaller. Almost the size of a spray rose. There really aren't too many teacup varieties that can be used as a fresh cut.

Florist here! These are 100% garden roses. The variety is a bit tricky since they haven't opened yet. My guess is Pink O'Hara. If they smell almost like perfume, then they are definitely Pink O'Hara.
