Plant of the Day - Alocasia "Polly" 🌿 ♦ Alocasia 'Polly' is a compact houseplant from the elephant ear family, known for its distinctive glossy leaves that conjure up images of an Amazonian jungle—despite not being from the Amazon (or any jungle, for that matter). 🌴 ♦ Fun fact: Alocasia x Amazonica is a hybrid produced by crossing two other Alocasia species: Alocasia Watsoniana (which is now more correctly known as Alocasia Longiloba ‘Watsoniana’) and Alocasia Sanderiana. It was bred in the 1950s by Salvadore Mauro, a Florida greenhouse grower who owned the (now defunct) Amazon Nursery and named the new hybrid after his business. All this means is that technically speaking, Alocasia Amazonica ‘Polly’ doesn’t have a natural habitat, and it certainly did not originate in the Amazon or anywhere near it! Do you follow? 😜 ♦ In the home, this plant will appreciate a windowsill spot with plenty of light, but not too much harsh sun. Also, don't let it completely dry out between waterings! 🚿 ♦ This plant is truly a favorite among many plant enthusiasts, as its dramatic, leathery leaves are sure to cause a double-take by those passing by. 😍 If you're interested in hearing more about the Alocasia 'Polly,' feel free to stop into our shop at 2005 Pearl Street or drop you comment below👇 #plants #plantlife #plantsarelife #alocasia #alocasiapolly #elephantear #biophilia #biophilicdesign #interiordesign #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsoflinkedin #boulder #bouldercolorado #downtownboulder

🌿 I Just came across an intriguing read from The Guardian about Gunnera. It got me thinking: Are there any other plants that should be banned? 🌱 The concept of "survival of the fittest" takes a new twist as a new hybrid plant has secretly made its mark in the UK. 🌾 Question for you: Are other potential hybrids lurking in our midst?

I had the incredible honor of speaking with our local manufacturing council this week. We discussed regional employment trends, GRP progress, and how industry automation may impact their workforces. I only had 15-minutes to present my data (but still went WAY over my time) and didn't really expand on one of the topics I perceive to be MOST important to the future of manufacturers all over the world: innovation! So, check out the incredible example from the LEGO Group below. Known for generations as little plastic blocks in a bucket, they have evolved to understand a WIDE spectrum of customers from toddlers to seniors. How would YOUR business expand if you started imagining beyond the everyday contents of your cases?

Doing It Right! It all starts with the grower, the first stop in the long distribution chain of fresh-cut flowers to the consumer. It's important not to cut corners and to minimize waste along the journey. A wasted flower = wasted resources that went into growing, packaging, protecting & shipping that flower. One secret to growing long-lasting flowers is to select the right postharvest products and protocols. Postharvest products used at farm level and beyond are not a one-size-fits-all type of approach. Contact your local FloraLife representative for a tailor-made solution. A great example of teaming up to find the best products & protocols is that of Lugt Lisianthus and FloraLife. https://ow.ly/CCbJ50PChlv *Product availability depends upon region #FloraLifeExpertsInFlowerCare
