Radebaugh Florist Offers Value Added Services such as on their website The Language of Flowers

When we have a “best friend” or friends, it is a valuable thing and we want to show sincere appreciation. These people may be a life long friends since childhood or someone we met later in life. Either way, they are an important part of our life and bring us much joy. One wonderful way to celebrate National Friends Day on June 8th is to send a fresh and thoughful flower bouquet from Radebaugh Florist. We have fresh and festive National Best Friends Day Flowers.

The history behind the origination of this day is that in 1935, Congress decided this was a significant enough cause to declare June 8th as National Friends Day. In addition, Congress wisely selected the summer season as the best time to desiginate this special day. This season is typically the best time weather wise and schedule wise for people to celebrate.

Reasons for celebrating National Best Friends Day are pretty obvious. These people are special in your life and you want them to know you appreciate them. However, like many other occasions or life events, there are some research studies that indicate there are health reasons for celebrating.

For example, studies have shown that 22% of people have a longer live span when they have a group of close friends. Of course there is a relationship to depression and anxiety as people who spend time with their friends generally have less of these issues.

Radebaugh Florist Offers Stunning National Best Friends Day Flowers

Radebaugh Florist is one of the most trusted and recognized named in the floral industry. There are many factors contributing to this reputation. One such factors is the uniqueness on how they approach their customer focused business. For example, they offer a resource on their website entitled The Language of Flowers. Very cool and below is an example.

Sunflowers

Around 1000 BC, wild sunflowers in the western region of the United States were domesticated, and their seeds were harvested for food. Today, sunflowers are grown and admired all over the world. While many people continue to enjoy sunflower seeds as a healthy afternoon snack, sunflower oil is also used for cooking and as an ingredient in self-care or beauty products. Their seeds are a great source of calcium, and their oil is abundant with anti-inflammatory properties.

Classic yellow sunflowers are perhaps the most easily identified and popular type of sunflower. Their large brown centers are surrounded by a ray of thin yellow petals, known as “ray florets,” that sit on top of a long fuzzy green stem. The common sunflowers grow annually in the late summer and early autumn and may reach 3 -15 feet in height and 3 – 12 inches in diameter. Find these mood-boosting beauties in bud vases by themselves or in all sorts of seasonal bouquets and arrangements.

Although yellow is the most common sunflower hue, you can also find colorful sunflowers like red, purple, brown, white, and pink that are categorized as either “giant sunflowers” or “dwarf sunflowers.” Giant sunflowers, like Skyscrapers, Sunforest Mix, and Russian Mammoth, can grow between 12 and 16 feet tall, while dwarf sunflowers, including Taiyo, Little Becka, Suntastic Yellow, and Pacino, only reach a height of three feet at best. Below are some facts:

  • Between one and two thousand miniature flowers make up the head of a sunflower.
  • Dried sunflowers make the perfect natural bird feeder.
  • Mature sunflowers will no longer practice heliotropism and face east for the remainder of their lives.
  • In 2014, the record for the world’s largest sunflower was broken by a 30 feet tall sunflower in Karst, Germany, owned by Hans-Peter Schiffer.
  • Sunflowers planted in Fukushima were used to help absorb and clean up nuclear radiation that remained in the soil after a tsunami struck reactors.
  • Renowned painters including Diego Rivera, Alfred Gockel, and Vincent Van Gogh found sunflowers to be an inspirational muse and an important subject in their work.
