Red, White & Blue Flowers for Independence Day

For over 240 years, July 4th has been a day set apart to celebrate the unique freedoms that we have come to appreciate in the United States. But its beginnings were a little fuzzy - from John Adams publicly declaring that July 2nd was Independence Day, to the majority of the founding fathers not signing the Declaration of Independence until August 2nd. Still, the date written on the original document prevailed, and a nation was born. Did You Know? John Hancock was one of only two members of Congress who signed on July 4th - which explains his favored position on the document.  Read More about Red, White & Blue Flowers for Independence Day »

Sending Memorial Day Floral Arrangements

They hover as a cloud of witnesses above this Nation. - Henry Ward Beecher Throughout the last 150 years - since the end of the Civil War - Memorial Day has been celebrated as a way to honor those who lost their lives in war. First unofficially observed in 1866 as 'Decoration Day', this was a day set aside to decorate the graves of Civil War fallen soldiers. Soon after World War I, it was suggested that the name be changed to Memorial Day, and to include the men and women lost during any military initiative or battle. In 1971, Congress officially placed Memorial Day on the calendar, and the heart behind it is still the same to this day. If you are looking for Memorial Day floral arrangements to offer respect to friends and loved ones, you can trust the experts at Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist to deliver.

To this day, flowers are the #1 gift given on Mother's Day, and here at Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist we couldn't imagine celebrating our Moms without flowers.
