Product Description:
Just like a camel, the ponytail palm can store water in their swollen trunk which allows them to go up to a month without watering and not suffer any ill effects. The plant’s nickname of Elephant’s foot comes from the scaly texture of the trunk which reminded early botanists of a pachyderm’s leg. The long, slender leaves will curl in spirals and cascade over the edge of the pot as it grows, making it look even more like a Dr. Seuss plant brought to life.
Beaucarnea Recurvata grow best in bright light, but if they cannot be near a window inside, they can be acclimated to the darker Pacific Northwest winters by moving them outside during the summer. Their slow growth rate and ability to store water make them an exceptionally easy to care for plant, no matter what color of thumb the recipient has. Ponytail palms are great plants for anyone who is away from home for long stretches or does not always remember to water their plants.
We pot our ponytail palms up in a contemporary brushed aluminum bowl that is eight inches wide and cover the top of the soil with gravel as both an accent and to hold in moisture. Every plant is delivered with specific care instructions so that even a novice plant parent will find it easy to help their plant thrive.
Approximately 18 inches tall and 10 inches wide.
WELCOME! Fiori Floral Design began as Seattle's first studio florist in 1995. Our focus has always been on creating carefully curated luxury florals. Our work has been featured in Vogue, Romantic Homes, Seattle Bride, Seattle Homes & Lifestyles and other publications. We hire very talented artists to work here in a fun environment that encourages professional growth. Nearly a dozen of our former designers have gone on to open their own shops across the country and we are their biggest cheerleaders. We also offer classes in floral design that are fun no matter what your experience level is. OUR SIGNATURE STYLE We specialize in the French style of floral design called pavé, a jeweler's term for setting precious stones closely together so they appear to cover an entire surface. Floral artists use this technique as well, placing blooms closely together to create arrangements that are jewel boxes of flowers. Our flower choices are intentional without extraneous filler - every element is integral to an arrangement's beauty and structure. We also offer our exclusive Texture Collection of arrangements. When we offered our first Texture Box in 2010 we had no idea they would become so enormously popular. The collection has grown to include three sizes of boxes and two styles arranged in bowls. They are a feast for the eyes with something new to see at every angle. Check them out in out online catalog. ORCHID PLANTS Our phalaenopsis orchid plants are legendary in Seattle both for the varieties that we offer as well as how long they last. We source our orchid plants from experienced growers in Walla Walla, Washington that we have come to know like family. We pot them up in premium containers and accent them with branches, mosses and textures for a look that is truly breathtaking. Every orchid that we deliver arrives with detailed care information so the recipient has all of the information that they need to make them last a long time. FLORAL DESIGN CLASSES When a client asked to have us host a flower arranging class for her and a group of her friends to celebrate her birthday in 2007 we said "That sounds like fun!" It was so much fun in fact that we were the first florist in Seattle to offer classes to the public, long before that became popular. We offer classes because we are passionate about what we do and love sharing techniques to help anyone of any skill level create Instagram worthy arrangements. Do you want your flowers to last longer? We are known for arrangements that last and last and teach step-by-step what we do to earn that reputations. Enrollment in each class is limited with most classes having no more that eight students so that we can give one-on-one attention. A list of upcoming classes can be found on our Floral Design Classes page. We also offer private classes in floral design and making a succulent planters. More information about private classes can be found on our Classes Frequently Asked Questions page. OUR URBAN FLOWER FARM Just outside our studio doors you will find our little urban flower farm where we grown many of the flowers that we use. A pair of 50 year old lilac trees provide the most incredibly fragrant lilac you can find, some with bloom as big as a quarter! Each fall we plant over 1000 spring bulbs that have been curated to allow us to offer tulips, narcissus and Muscari in varieties that you will not see anywhere else. We grow many varieties of hellebores which have become some of our favorite flowers to design with. nearly fifty hydrangea bushes provide us with flowers in every color imaginable, including the incredible 'Pistachio' which has blooms that look like they are hand-painted. Our collection of dahlias allows us to offer varieties that can not be found in other shops. Typically we will harvest blooms the same day the arrangement is delivered making them the freshest and longest lasting flowers that you can have delivered. WE CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT In addition to foliages and textural elements that we forage, we supplement what we grown from local flower farmers that we personally know and who emphasize sustainable growing practices. The later months of spring we feature peonies grown on a peony farm that has been in existence since the 1930's and in still operated by descendants of the founders. All year round we keep a curated selection of premium flowers on hand to supplement what we grow and arrange everything without extraneous filler to allow the beauty of each bloom to shine through. We are avid recyclers and composters and are the only Envirostars recognized florist in Washington state. WANT TO SEE MORE OF OUR WORK? Examples of our past work can be found in our portfolio including wedding and event work, private classes and arrangements for every occasion. Our Facebook and Instagram accounts offer an even more extensive collection of photographs for all occasions. On Pinterest you will find boards with floral arrangements sorted by occasion and flower type. Links to our social media can be found at the bottom of the page. COLOR PALETTES We change our color palettes frequently so that we have a constantly changing variety of flowers to work with. Samples of our color palettes can be found on our Pinterest page which is accessible through the link at the bottom of this page. Upcoming Color Palettes: Instead of having weekly color palettes, during the summer, our designs revolve around the many things that we are growing on our urban flower farm. We are supplementing these with foraged or other locally grown or flowers and foliages as well as roses. We have a beautiful assortment of dahlias that we are growing, many that you will not find anywhere else; hydrangeas in every shade imaginable, raspberry foliage, mint, dusty miller, and so much more. WE LOVE SPECIAL REQUESTS! Please call us with any special requests as they are always welcome.
In some instances, the florists’ photo may represent an overall theme or look and include a one-of-a-kind vase which cannot be exactly replicated. Although the actual bouquet may not precisely match the photo, its temperament will. Occasionally, substitutions of flowers or containers happen due to weather, seasonality and market conditions which may affect availability. If this is the case with the gift you've selected, the local florist will ensure that the style, theme and color scheme of your arrangement is preserved and will only substitute items of equal or higher value.
