I’m already in post-New Year’s mode: I’ve blown all my resolutions of not worrying, not being late, not eating and drinking too much (yes, I am aware that it’s only been a week). Depressed and disgusted last week, I knew I needed help transforming my attitude or it was going to be a long year.
As I entered the store this morning, my day was immediately transformed. One of the first things I saw were buckets and buckets of gorgeous Mozart Calla Lilies destined for delivery to offices all around Manhattan. The focal flower of my own wedding bouquet, those Mozart Callas reminded me of the joyful day that inspired me to become a florist, and I was instantly grateful for my husband and my job. Awesome.

Who wouldn't feel good with an NYC weekly flower delivery of this sunny bouquet?
When I worked in an office, I used to visit the Farmers Market in Union Square every week and treat myself to a bouquet of flowers for my desk. In early spring, there was a farmer from New Jersey selling homegrown tulips with the most wonderful shapes and colors. As I was gazing at those gorgeous tulips one day, a little old lady walked up behind me and said “aren’t those tulips just food for the soul?” That moment stuck with me.
Here at Big Apple Florist, we harbor the philosophy that fresh flowers truly are a necessity for good health and happiness.
AND, there’s science to back us up! Scientists constantly conduct research to understand the health benefits of flowers, and it turns out, there may be a reason why humans have cultivated flowers for over 5,000 years. [Read more →]
This exotic floral table arrangement includes Anthurium, Gloriosa Lilies, and Craspedia. This beautiful flower arrangement has been donned the “Queen of Hearts” because of the sheer presence it has in a room – the tropical flowers in combination with the grand looped leaves make it such an impressive bouquet. This is also a great representation of the work we do for our Weekly Corporate Flowers.
Stay tuned for the next edition of Flower Arrangement of the Month, and check out the rest of our flower arrangements in NYC to see other examples of tropical eye catching floral arrangements.

Did you know that many common indoor plants can actually absorb certain pollutants and actively clean the air inside your office building? Air purifying plants and regular Manhattan plant maintenance in your office can help you stay healthy, and avoid respiratory problems caused by certain air impurities.
NASA has found that various indoor houseplants are extremely effective at filtering nasty toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene from the air. These toxins often contribute to indoor air quality issues and indefinite illnesses. Symptoms of “sick building syndrome” include eye, nose, and throat irritation, hypersensitivity reactions, and odor/taste sensations. [Read more →]
