New Vessels

Sean MurphyComment

Recently, our designers had the opportunity to visit the Dallas Market Center and check out many different potential vendors. We pride ourselves on having unique and high-quality products in the shop, so we were excited to have the chance to find some more options for you all! 

Luckily, they came back with some great new options, shown below! The vessels pictured come in all different sizes, and there are many more in the shop not shown! Be sure to come in and check out all of our options. 

 

Plant Pick: Lady Slipper Orchids

Sean MurphyComment

If you grew up in New England, or have ever visited the more woodsy areas, you know that Lady Slipper Orchids are a very special plant that grow wild. They are beautiful plants; one of our favorites here at the shop! 

Unlike most orchids, Lady Slippers prefer to their soil to be moist, so they need water about once every seven to ten days. Be sure to keep out of direct sunlight, and place away from any windows. 

We have a few varieties in the shop, available for pickup or delivery. Be sure to stop by and check them out!

Summer Party?

Sean MurphyComment

With summer in full swing here in Boston, so are summer parties! Birthdays, end of school, and just because , there are plenty of reasons so celebrate in the summer. 

With parties come centerpieces! We are happy to help you design the perfect centerpiece design, or create a tablescape with bud vases and bunches of succulents. Our team will deliver your flower arrangements right to your door, or have them ready for pickup. 

Below are some of our favorite centerpieces from the last few months.

Mayor's Rose Garden Party

Sean MurphyComment

The Rouvalis Team had the pleasure of attending the Rose Garden Party at the Kelleher Rose Garden in Back Bay last night, June 15th! It was an evening filled with beautiful flowers, both growing and in fascinators and floral crowns. There was both a live and silent auction, benefiting the Boston Parks & Recreation Department, which is a wonderful cause! 

We were honored to win the prize for "Most Creative" in the Fascinator category! Each designer created her fascinator with her dress in mind, using a variety of flowers and textural elements, 

 

Plant Pick: Tillandsia

Sean MurphyComment

We all know tillandisa in their most popular form, as air plants that do not require any dirt or soil. However, today we received some potted tillandsia, and they are awesome! 

Their bright pink rosette in the middle will singly produce violet colored flowers. The care for these plants is similar to that of a succulent.

Water: Water a small amount of water every 10-14 days. They have a very small root system, so they do not need large amounts of water.

Light: Keep out of direct sunlight; these plants are happiest in bright, indirect sunlight. 

 

Orchid Planters

Sean MurphyComment

Orchids are a classic look for any room, and we love combining them with succulents for a more modern and trendy look. Also, they have very similar care instructions (bright light and little water), which makes them perfect companions in planters! We recently potted up these slate gray containers for a client's outdoor space. We used primarily potted echeveria and peperomias, accompanied by medium-height phalaenopsis orchids.
