In many offices across the Oklahoma City metro, administrative professionals are holding everything together. They’re keeping things organized, making sure people get where they need to be, and greeting employees and customers with a welcoming smile. And while many business owners and executives say thank you often, we’re rapidly approaching the special day set aside to celebrate administrative professionals.
We recently created 32 centerpieces, 330 little girl corsages, and 250 boutonnieres for the dads for the City of Oklahoma City Parks and Recreation Department’s annual Daddy Daughter Dance. Lilygrass was honored to be the florist selected to provide the flowers for this fantastic event this year!
Fresh flowers can brighten up a room in any season, and it’s an especially nice touch when you have house guests. A simple bouquet in a guest bedroom or bath or some bright blooms at the kitchen table during breakfast makes an everyday event seem just a bit more special.
There are a variety of ways to incorporate them into different areas around the house, such as kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas. Decorative glass and ceramic containers already displayed in those areas can be used as long as they can hold water.
Antirrhinum are commonly known as snapdragons or dragon flowers because they resemble the head of a dragon opening and closing its mouth when squeezed from the sides. That’s a fun way for a flower to get its name, right?
They’re native to the United States, North Africa, and the rocky terrains in Europe. There are two distinct species of this unique flower, the garden snapdragon and the lilac snapdragon, though neither can breathe fire as far as we know.
Flower crowns are a great option for adults and children. They are adorable on flower girls at a wedding and make super fun photos for toddlers or young girls. You can even add some festive fun to a special girls' night out dinner with flower crowns! Or add some flair to a colorful Easter outfit or other special event.

With the bone chilling winds of winter coming to an end soon (we hope), our thoughts turn to the bright and cheery colors of spring. For centuries, the spring season has been accompanied by celebrations of renewal and hope. Vivid spring hues are a wonderful way to bring life to any environment, no matter how dull.
Let’s talk about a few fun ways to incorporate them this season.
Orchids are one of the most delicate flowers with a uniquely diverse aesthetic. Though the smaller sizes are more common, their size depends entirely upon their species. The giant orchid can reach up to 200 pounds in weight, while the smallest variety only reaches two millimeters in size. When the larger varieties grow in clusters they can reach up to one ton, though that’s not typically the kind of orchid you’ll find at a flower shop!
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about surprising that special someone with flowers and gifts to make them smile. Flowers are always a nice surprise, but you can also get creative and include a little something extra for your sweetheart.
