Today is Floral Design Day.
Everyone loves flowers… right? If I was able to send all my readers flowers I would… or my readers could send me flowers.
Today actually is a declared holiday in Massachusetts. Read the online post from floralschool.com:
“The original idea behind Floral Design Day, was an unique way to celebrate a special birthday of Carl Rittner, who founded our school.
Mr. “R” as our students affectionately called him, founded The Rittners School of Floral Design, in Boston, over sixty years ago, and was a pioneer in floral art education. Through the years, his humor, patience and wealth of floral industry knowledge have had a marked impact upon thousands of students from all over the globe.
So it was particularly meaningful when Gov. Weld of Massachusetts proclaimed Floral Design Day as part of Mr. Rittner’s special birthday celebration.
The idea of a holiday that celebrates floral design as an art form, is a wonderful one whose time has come. And so, Mr. R and the rest of us here at Rittners, wanted to see Floral Design Day continue to be observed as an event in its own right.”
So, let’s cheers to Mr. Rittner and Floral Arranging.
Just like flower arranging moving something, adding something, or taking something away can make all of the difference… so true if for life. What is working? What’s not? Sometimes we need a little re-arranging.
Tomorrow: Leap Day!
