My friend Lisa is an amazingly creative and fun human being. As an actress, she spent the summer in the Finger Lakes singing and dancing as Sally Bowles in “Cabaret.” I know she is an accomplished painter, and also has been a professional muralist; she dresses cool and knows all about make-up; and she smiles 96% of the time. What I DIDN’T know is that Lisa has an almost supernaturally green thumb.
Last time I visited Lisa was something like 8 years ago, and my memory was of a sparse and open space. Imagine my pleasant surprise on a recent visit when I walked into a plant-filled urban gardening oasis in NYC! Beautifully displayed green, glossy plants did wonders to make the apartment feel cozy, cool and inviting. I got her to share some of her plant care advice with me:
Choose Gorgeous, Low-Maintenance Indoor Plants
Zamioculcas zamifoia: Lisa’s beautiful “ZZ plant” is a good choice, because these plants are good-looking, have a unique shape, and are very easy to maintain. Plant care is a cinch: they don’t require much water and are broad-spectrum plants that can tolerate direct sun or shade.

A blog post about blogs…yes – it’s happening. We here at Big Apple Florist try to stay updated on current trends and happenings. I mean—what kind of florist would we be if we didn’t know what type of flowers were in Kate Middleton’s bouquet or the highlights at the 2011 Chelsea Flower Show?
The Internet allows enthusiasts of all types to share their knowledge and excitement with the world, so we thought we would share a few of our favorite Internet hotspots for floral design ideas, plant maintenance and generally getting stuff done with you!

The Best Winter Flowers Get the Best Accents
My favorite part about winter flowers are the additional decorative items our designers use to enhance the winter floral arrangements. Silver and gold vases, pinecones, birch, branches, berries, ornaments, ribbons, and other sparkly items make any arrangement feel as if it is the Holiday/Winter spirit!

One trend that we would like to highlight is the concept of utilizing unique vases for unique floral arrangements. At Big Apple Florist, we are always thinking of new and inventive ways to develop our floral designs for our clients. This is just one of the many options we can provide so that you can achieve the exact floral décor look you envisioned. Vases come in a vast array of shapes, sizes, colors, and more. Switching out a clear cylinder vase for something different can give a floral arrangement an entire new look.

Flower festivals are popular throughout the world, with many places taking particular pride in the floral events that they put on. Most floral festivals are comprised of similar traits: food, arts and crafts, live music, a parade, and of course, lots and lots of flowers. Each floral event puts it’s own spin on things, often incorporating regional elements and crowning a hometown queen. While flower festivals seem to peak in the early summer and fall, flower events can be found year-round. We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite floral events across the country.

Memorial Flower Arrangements That Mean So Much
Celebrating the life and legacy of an individual and reflecting on what they have meant to you, is a meaningful and significant moment for anyone. Looking back on the contributions they have made, both in the big picture and to the everyday life, conjures up emotions and feelings that are often hard to put into words. In these times, memorial flower arrangements can say the words that cannot be expressed. Be it loss of a family member, a close friend, a neighbor or associate, these occasions require a delicate balance of love and respect to honor the departed. Memorial floral arrangements can help express precisely how you feel and help to define your devotion.

Flower Bouquets Burst With Color!
We just had a photo shoot for our spring collection of unique floral arrangements!! The flowers are fresh, the colors are vibrant, and the flower arrangements are diverse and unique. Each one of these flower bouquets has something different that caters to individual tastes, but what they all have in common is that they illuminate any room and bring a smile to anyone’s face who receives them. We have floral arrangements that range from low to high, bright and colorful to a more demure color palette, and everything in between. Spring is in full effect here at our New York City florist shop and we couldn’t be more excited!
Big Apple Florist invites you to bring some cheer and color into your life this spring and the best, easiest way to do so is by giving the gift of pretty flowers. After surviving quite possibly the longest winter (in New York at least) we’ve had in the last few years, unique spring floral arrangements cheer us up when most needed!
