Farmer Feature: Farmer Lane’s New Tulip Variety

If you’re a fan of supporting local florists and sustainable flower farms, then you might be familiar with our very own tulip talent, Farmer Lane DeVries! Not only is he the head of Sun Valley Floral Farms in Southern California, he has such a passion for his work and creations that it just does not go unnoticed in the industry. Not only does DeVries have a whole lot of dedication to farming, but he also has a big heart by always finding ways to give back to the community. Farmer Lane loves to donate some leftover blooms to local hospitals, charities, service clubs and fundraising events – and we are all about these acts of kindness! That’s why we are so proud to announce that during the annual flower naming ceremony at the International Floriculture Exposition, DeVries was awarded with a new tulip variety named in his honor: Dutch Lane! Dutch Lanes are pink tulips bred in Holland and are meant to commend his suggestion of bringing up International Women’s Day as a sales opportunity in the floral industry 10 years ago. This new bloom is actually a crossbreed of Prominence x Ballerina x Tres Chic from Vertuco BV. Join […]

Best Ways to Spend Summer Indoors

Sometimes the best days of your summer are the ones you spend indoors. And we totally get it – you have your AC system running on full blast, you don’t have to change out of your favorite PJ’s, and you can just lounge around all day guilt-free! Staying inside during the summer season doesn’t have to be as drab as most would think! We at The Bouqs Co. compiled a list of indoor summer activities that make your season just as fun and worthwhile:   1. Catch up on your summer reading list Let’s face it – we all have that summer reading list that we made for ourselves before the start of the season that we promised to get around to but never really do. Well, now you can! It’s never too late to start visiting your local bookstore to see if there’s any fresh reads just for you. 2. Movie nights underneath a blanket fort Sometimes it’s nice to feel like a kid again. If you and your friends feel like being nostalgic on a summer night, build your very own blanket fort, bring out the string lights, set up Netflix on your laptop, and make yourselves comfortable!
