Florist Talk: Messiness

This one's for the sake of descriptions. Pull from this list of messes and ground them in situations. Most messes are the sorts of stains and so on that you might see on the Florbo themself; a few might involve the store or work area of the store.

Green fingers: certain stems and leaves stain, especially when you strip the leaves off by wrapping fingers around the stem and just running them down. Snapdragon stems are the worst for this in my experience; most others aren't too bad.

Yellow stains: some lilies have a very orange-yellow pollen. The stamens on these get plucked out so that they don't drop that pollen all over the flowers and, later, some poor recipient's tablecloth. You need to wipe the pollen off with a dry rag; using a wet rag or water only sets the stain into your skin further. Even then, enough contact = yellow stained fingertips, as well as yellow streaks and stains on any clothing or skin those fingertips happen to touch or brush up against. They'll fade or wash out eventually but can be noticeable for a bit, in a dingy sort of way.

Paint Flecks: Florbo might've used some florist spray paint to tint some flowers, or normal spray paint to alter a vase or basket or other container. This can mean speckles, streaks, or smudges on hands, arms, etc.

Glitter: Christmas and Valentine's Day can sometimes involve glittery picks and ornaments added to arrangements. The place I work at glitters everything for Prom. Glitter is always an option even outside of these special occasions. Florbo might well go home with stray flecks of glitter in various places, such as on the face.

Dirt: If the florist has live house plants on offer, they might also have to repot some plants, which can mean dirt on hands/under fingernails.

Sticky fingers: corsage glue is the worst. Tacky, slow to set, easy to spread. Create enough corsages and the fingers will come in contact with it. It's hard to pick off them even when dry. On a similar but less extreme note: there's this stretchy florist's wrap tape, usually green or brown, used to wrap the stems of boutonnieres. It's papery but there's just a bit of tackiness to it when stretched, which is how it sticks to itself. Use it enough, and that faint tackiness is left behind. Also also: pine sap. More of a hazard in the winter when that kind of greenery tends to be used, and can be mitigated by using hand sanitizer rather than trying to wash with water and soap, but it can persist even so.

Leaves n stuff in hair: less common in my experience but occasionally a possibility, especially with certain kinds of houseplants (ferns) or if working with dried moss (tangly, esp. spanish moss) around the bases of said plants.

Leaf and Stem mess all over work floor: Florbo perhaps has had a very very busy day to have scattered so much and not had time to sweep. I usually don't see this except around Mother's Day and V-Day, but that might be down to shop differences; some shops might allow clippings to accumulate on the floor and only sweep them up at the end. Even if big trash cans are available, not all trimmings go where aimed; some ricochet, bounce, or drop at a time not expected.

Blood: very uncommon very bad day, but always technically a possibility in a profession that involves a fair few sharp objects (stem clippers, trimming knives, boxcutters, broken vases, once or twice a really evil rose thorn that catches you just wrong). Severity will vary greatly. There'll be bandaids/a first aid kit in a cupboard in the back of the shop for sure.

Water on floor/soaked Florbo: could be anything from a spilled vase to a full on plumbing issue or leaky roof. A florist has to have access to water, probably some kind of work sink or other - something could've gone very wrong with pipes or nozzle. I've also worked in a place with a leaky roof and, when there was construction going on up there, a badly timed and very heavy storm resulted in an unplanned indoor water feature coming down from the ceiling. : )

Use any of these to describe a Florbo who is (or has been) hard at work recently. Mix n match if you like - maybe the length of their index finger and thumb are stained green from stripping leaves, but the tips are yellow from picking out pollen-laden stamens from lilies. Perhaps they've got flecks of red and gold glitter on their face and pine sap stickiness on their hands because xmas is coming and the people want their table centerpieces. Maybe they're slightly damp and frazzled because they had to move a bunch of display stuff in the store and set out half a dozen buckets to catch the drips and oh my god the landlord heard about this one.

Happy AU-ing!

This is technically an “Israeli” song, in that it was composed in Hebrew, by a composer and a lyricist who came to Mandatory Palestine as young people (ages 7 and 19, I believe) and who lived to see part of Mandatory Palestine become the modern state of Israel in 1948.  This song dates from around 1942, though, so it does predate the modern country.  Nevertheless, it is fairly popular there.

You can turn on subtitles and catch the lyrics in English.  The poetry is highly metaphorical, talking about two flowers (”shoshanim” can be either lilies or roses) that grow next to each other in the same garden.  One is red, the other is white.  They open and close at the same time, the wind blows both of them together, they both grown thorns (they’re probably roses, but the subtitles use lilies).  Then, one of them is picked.  Which one?  We don’t know.

This group sings only those three verses, but there’s actually a fourth verse describing the heartbreak of the flower that is left behind.  It’s a compelling song, in the way that a lot of mid-twentieth-century Israeli song is compelling.  The music is gorgeous, and the lyrics somehow manage to both scream to the heavens that A METAPHOR IS HERE and still, at the same time, be a little bit delicate about what that metaphor actually is.  There’s a lot of room for interpretation, and it does reward a couple of listenings.

I. MEET ME ON THE BATTLEFIELD. | We carry on through the storm / tired soldiers in this war / remember what we're fighting for. / Meet me on the battlefield / even on the darkest night / I will be your sword and shield [...] echoes and the shots ring out / We may be first to fall / Everything can stay the same or we can change it all.

II. HEROES. | I see the fear rising / Yeah, but my hope is burning / The shadows are calling us out / We are heroes, heroes in the darkest times / when there is no light! / We are heroes, heroes in the darkest times / who will rise above!

III. CHANGE THE WORLD. | I want to change the world / Piercing through the gales, unafraid of anything, / Now I hold my courage and pieces of my smile / Change my mind / If we reach out to the soaring future / without losing our passion, we'll be able to shine [...] / I want to change the world / I won't hesitate again. If I can shape a future with you, / then I can fly anywhere. / Change my mind / I can spread my wings and fly towards the unknown future / without losing my passion.

IV. HEY BROTHER. | Hey, brother! / There's an endless road to rediscover. / Hey, sister! / Know that water's sweet but blood runs thicker. / Oh, if the sky comes falling down / for you / there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do.

VI. VOGEL IM KÄFIG. | Alles Lebendige stirbt eines Tages / Ob wir zum Sterben bereit sind oder nicht / Der Tag kommt sicher / Ist das der Engel, der vom dämmernden Himmel hinunter flog? / Ist das der Teufel, der aus der Felsenspalte heraus kroch? / Tränen, Ärger, Mitleid, Grausamkeit / Frieden, Chaos, Glaube, Verrat / Wir werden gegen unser Schicksal ankämpfen / Wir dürfen uns nicht in unser Schicksal ergeben. / Mit Trauer und Entscheidung im Herzen / Zeigen wir den Willen weiterzugehen / Niemand darf eigensinnig seines Lebens beraubt werden.

Every living being dies someday / Whether we are ready to die or not / That day will surely come. / Is that an angel, flying down from the twilight sky? / Is that the devil, crawling out of the crevice? / Tears, anger, pity, cruelty / Peace, chaos, faith, betrayal / We will fight against our fate / We must not give in to our fate. / With sorrow and confidence in our hearts / We show the will to move on / No one shall be willfully deprived of their life.

VII. SEND ME AN ANGEL. | Wise man said, 'Just find your place / In the eye of the storm / Seek the roses along the way / Just beware of the thorns.' / Here I am! (Here I am!) / Will you send me an angel? / Here I am! (Here I am!) / In the land of the morning star. / [...] Hear this voice from deep inside / It's the call of your heart / Close your eyes and you will find / The way out of the dark. / Here I am! (Here I am!) / Will you send me an angel?

VIII. ENDLESS WAR. | You feel broken up / And the weight that you feel pulls you down / You can't let go! / You keep crawling on / Don't wanna let it go / So you keep holding on / To feel whole / 'Cause you're fighting an endless war / Hunting a miracle / And when you reach out for the stars / They just cut you down.

Some things I both love and fear about giant water lilies.

big enough to hold a baby on

much cute. very demigod origin. (please don't do this at home omg)

2) the s p i k e s

So like, the underside of these lilies are actually the rolled up exterior of their flower/pad pods before they actually open up and float on the surface, right?

This is the best pic that kinda-sorta shows their pods before the pads themselves surface and begin to grow. Basically, when the spiky giant water lilies first start to grow toward the surface and begin photosynthesizing, the pods themselves are covered with similar thorns to the ones that grow on the underside of the pads when they're fully mature.

Most aquatic, floating plants - like other types of lily - rely on getting to and sometimes staying on the water's surface by inflating their stems/leaves with air to lift their leaves and flowers higher up and to get the most sunlight possible.

Giant water lilies evolved to use their giant, spiky clubs to slowly rotate in the water around where they intend to grow a leaf. The spikes on their pods puncture other plants that are using air for buoyancy, sink them, and that's how giant water lilies are often able to take over the entire surface of waterways they grow in: raw v i o l e n c e

And that is one of the many reasons dark water frightens me.
