Flowers Anaheim State of the City

Once again Visser's Florist was asked by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce to do the flowers for Mayor Pringle's State of the City Luncheon. Of course, we jumped at the opportunity. More than 1,000 of Anaheim's community leaders and business people attended the event. The mayor laid out the priorities for his last year in office, which included starting the high speed rail project which will run from Anaheim to San Francisco, and making the City of Anaheim more responsive to its residents.

At Visser's, we are really proud to be part of such a progressive community. Oh, and by the way, our flowers were stunning, and in my humble opinion, were the highlight of the event.

Little Ted's Wedding

So, a lot of you (actually one or two) have wondered where I have been the last week. CANCUN is the answer. Little Ted finally tied the knot. He and Sarah got married on the beach and it was wonderful. All of us at Visser's Florist were a little disappointed that we couldn't do the flowers, but obviously we are very happy for him. Here is a pic of Ted, Sarah, me and Cathy and his brother.

More pics will follow.

Poinsettias 2009

As most of you know, Visser's Florist and Greenhouses has been selling quality poinsettias since the 1950s. People (and churches and businesses and schools) keep coming back year after year to get their order.

Well, I am pleased to announce that even in this economic recession/depression we are still selling them like crazy. However, something interesting is happening this year. We are selling out of all the big plants, the 8 inch and 10 inch plants, faster than the smaller ones. Yes, I know that the big ones are unbelievably impressive, but we assumed people would go a little smaller this year.

I guess quality matters, even when things are tough.

By the way, we still have a few big poinsettias left so if you hurry you won't be left out.

New style roses

This is pretty interesting. We were asked by a company to put together several dozen roses to hand out as awards. The only thing was they wanted something a little different. We put on our thinking caps and this is what we came up with: The long stemmed red roses are enhanced by seeded eucalyptus. hypericum berries and ti leaves. Needless to say, the company loved the design.

It's Halloween--
At Visser's, it's the time to let our designers go crazy--and they love it. Here are a couple of pictures of what we have come up with this year.

The bottom picture is an email special we are running with a couple of pumpkin arrangements. The top picture is something that Yolanda came up with just being whimsical. Pretty cute huh?

By the way, if you want to get in on our email specials, just call the shop and we will put you on the list. There are some really good deals offered only to the people on the list.

Bosses' Day

It's tough being a boss. A lot of hours, stress and responsibility, not to mention those three martini lunches.

That's why Visser's Florist and Greenhouses in Anaheim is proud to celebrate bosses' day. It's a good opportunity to give a little present to your boss to show him or her how much they are appreciated. And, let's face it, a little sucking up never hurt anybody.

Visser's has just the right gift for the occasion--a custom made blooming plant garden. We can make them for any amount over $20.00 and they are sure to please even the most finicky of bosses. The one in the picture above is only $29.99. It's a small price to pay to show your appreciation.

Fall flowers are here

Gudrun, Visser's Florist & Greenhouse design manager, has done it again. She created this fall beauty that we put out as our weekly Email special. For the next three days this masterpiece is only $19.99.

It is only available for store pick-up or local delivery as no other flowershop will match our prices.

We don't usually announce our email specials but we are really excited about this one. If you aren't on our special email list (and shame on you) you can still get one by calling us at (714) 772-9900.
