<h3>Fertility</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ancient Greeks were the first to connect orchids with fertility and virility. As the word orchid comes from the Greek word orchis, meaning 'testicles, it describes this flowering plant's appearance. Orchid roots were also used in ancient Greece to help control or predict the gender of babies. Throughout history, orchids remained a symbol of fertility, especially pink orchids. Aside from being a wonderful gift to celebrate growing families, orchids are commonly displayed in homes and offices in Japan as they are believed to bring fertility or good fortune in Japanese culture. </span></p>

<h3>Beauty</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a rare and unique flowering plant, orchids have become a symbol of beauty. In the Victorian Era, Europeans marveled over the orchid's exotic appearances and dubbed it a symbol as such. Throughout the ages, blue orchids and white orchids also became specific symbols of rarity, uniqueness, elegance, and of course, beauty. These flowers are a wonderful gesture to give to those who are seen as beautiful, both inside and out in their own unique way.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h3>Refinement</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since the upper class, wealthy, and royal families were the ones acquiring orchids in the Victorian Ages, this bloom evolved into a symbol of refined taste and luxury. Purple orchids are especially connected to royalty, admiration, respect, dignity, and refinement. If youre looking for something special to give a respected teacher, boss, or someone you look up to, orchids are a great option. </span></p>

<h3>Thoughtfulness</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It's no doubt that the simple act of sending and giving flowers to loved ones, friends, and respected individuals is meaningful and thoughtful. But orchids are a symbol of thoughtfulness, as their rare, exotic, and unique nature gets overshadowed and hidden behind more common blooms. It takes some extra thought to select a magnificent orchid. When youre looking for the most special flower, orchids will never fall short.&nbsp;</span></p>

This is an exciting time in their life. Students begin to exert their independence, gain responsibility and spread their wings. We want to support and encourage their effort. But, we also want to make sure theyre well provided for and prepared for what lies ahead. Setting them up for success can be done in many ways. That's why the designers at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/back-to-school-flowers-los-angeles-ca/">French Florist</a> have compiled a list of college survival kit essentials- items students may not even realize they need. Think about sending some of these to your student during the first week of classes. That way, youll help them know how much you care and have an excellent fall semester.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-1370"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Comforter &amp; Linens</strong> Sometimes a favorite pillow or homemade quilt is just enough to make a student feel the connection to home. While they don't sleep much in college, trust that when they do, theyre wrapped in warm fuzzy thoughts of home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Desk Organizer</strong> With precious little space to live and work, staying organized is imperative. Help students keep all of their office supplies straight with a desk organizer for inside drawers or atop their student desk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Portable Chargers</strong> With so many portable electronics students rely on, it's important to keep things charged up. A portable charger will do just that for their laptop, tablet or cell phone. Help them stay connected everywhere they go with a portable charger.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Coffee Maker </strong>Be sure theyre wide-awake and alert for their very first class when you send a coffee maker with all of the accessories: flavored creamers, a variety of syrups and even a cool travel mug to take to class. Set them up for success from the minute they wake up.</span></p>

<h3><strong>The Philippines  Giant Lanterns</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each December, Filipinos in the city of San Fernando celebrate Christmas with the Giant Lantern Festival. Giant lanterns illuminated by light and decorated with brightly colored elaborate designs are built by several surrounding communities in a friendly competition to create the most extravagant lantern. Light is symbolic to the Filipinos and this beautiful festival symbolizes hope and love through the holiday season.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h3><strong>Ukraine  Spider Webs in the Tree</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A popular tradition in Ukraine is to decorate their Christmas tree with fake spiders and spider webs. Stemming from an old legend about a poor woman whose children were upset because they didn't have any money to buy decorations for their tree, the spiders in the home spun intricate and decorative webs across the tree while the family slept. On Christmas morning, the children awoke to find a beautifully decorated tree that glistened silver and gold in the morning light. Since then, spiders have been considered a sign of good luck and fortune.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1321" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1321" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1321" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/KFC-Japan-Santa-450x322.jpg" alt="KFC Japan Santa" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1321" class="wp-caption-text">KFC Japan Santa</p></div>
<h3><strong>Japan  KFC Christmas Dinner</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Families in Japan have been enjoying KFC chicken for their Christmas dinner since 1974 when a very successful marketing campaign promoted a bucket of the Colonel's golden fried best as the perfect Christmas meal. This tradition has really gained steam as more than 3.6 million people enjoy fried chicken on December 25th in Japan. Orders must be put in months in advance.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1322" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1322" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1322" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Boots-with-Carrots-450x322.jpg" alt="Boots with Carrots in them" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1322" class="wp-caption-text">Boots with Carrots</p></div>
<h3><strong>Germany  Boots by the Door</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christmas is very big in Germany and they have many traditions across the country. One of the more popular ones is for kids to place their cleanest, nicest pair of boots outside their bedroom door on December 5th, the night before St. Nicholas's arrival. In the morning when they wake, they will find their boots stuffed with candy, nuts, and small gifts.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1323" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1323" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1323" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Krampus-450x321.jpg" alt="parade of men dressed as Krampus" width="450" height="321"><p id="caption-attachment-1323" class="wp-caption-text">Krampus</p></div>
<h3><strong>Austria  Krampus</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The biggest Christmas tradition in Austria is to dress up as Krampus rattling chains and clanking bells to terrify children who have been naughty. Based on an old pre-Christian myth, Krampus is a goat-like demon who wanders the streets looking for children who misbehave and stuffing them in his sack to whisk them down into Hell. Each year across Austria men dress as Krampus and walk in parades down city streets.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1324" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1324" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1324" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/La-Befana-450x322.jpg" alt="Christmas Witch" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1324" class="wp-caption-text">La Befana</p></div>
<h3><strong>Italy  La Befana</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of Italy's more unique Christmas traditions comes in the form of a witch, Le Befana. A tale that dates back to the 13th Century, Le Befana will ride her broom down your chimney to leave presents for well-behaved children who leave food and wine for her. Her visits take place after Christmas though, on January 5th, Eve of the Epiphany.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1325" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1325" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1325" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Yule-Lads-Photo-by-guidetoiceland.is_-450x322.jpg" alt="13 Yule Lads - Photo by guidetoiceland.is" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1325" class="wp-caption-text">Yule Lads  Photo by guidetoiceland.is</p></div>
<h3><strong>Iceland  Yule Lads</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the 13 nights leading up to Christmas, each child in Iceland is visited by each of the troll-like tricksters called the Yule Lads. Wreaking harmless chaos across the land, these tricksters will leave candy in the shoes of kids who have been well-behaved and leave rotting potatoes for those kids who have not. With names like 'sausage-Swiper, Door-Slammer, and Pot-Scraper, these lads have tons of fun.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1326" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1326" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1326" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Christmas-Cracker-450x322.jpg" alt="Christmas Cracker on plate" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1326" class="wp-caption-text">Christmas Cracker</p></div>
<h3><strong>England  Christmas Crackers</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christmas in England is very similar to Christmas in the states with one tradition that hasn't caught on here yet which are Christmas crackers. Placed by everyone's plate during the Christmas meal, crackers are paper tubes wrapped in Christmas paper with a tab at each end. When the tabs are pulled apart, a large cracking sound will be heard as confetti, candy, and little trinkets fall out. Oftentimes, riddles and jokes are included as well as a paper hat which must be worn by everyone while eating dinner.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One tradition we know that everyone loves is receiving flowers. Flowers are universally enjoyed by everyone, so spruce up your holiday home or send to someone who's hard to shop for  flowers always make the perfect gift.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>Want to feel really good this holiday season? Then take note of Giving Tuesday, which falls on November 28 this year.</p>
<p>At <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>, were in the business of giving. That most often means enabling people to send the most beautiful fresh flowers to the people they love. But were also devoted to giving back to our community, and that's why we offer a way for you to do that, 365 days a year.</p>
<p><span id="more-1117"></span></p>
<p>There's no better feeling than when we can offer someone a special gift, and for that, we love flowers. But if you can expand that personal gift into a much broader act of charitable giving, it's a win win all the way around. To that end, we offer our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/charityContribution.cfm">Helping Hands</a>&nbsp;program. And the process couldn't be easier. As youre shopping flowers online with us (and for this time of year, we recommend sending this&nbsp;<a href="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/C7707080911351907113012407.jpg">A Holidays on Ice</a> beauty), simply click the Helping Hands drop down menu. A list of deserving organizations and institutions will be revealed. Select your favorite, and at checkout, a donation will be made to them.<a href="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/C7707080911351907113012407.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/C7707080911351907113012407.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Supporting our most valuable Los Angeles organizations is something we should do all year, but on Giving Tuesday, a global initiative to promote charitable giving across the world, it's even more imperative. During the holidays it can be easy to overlook those local causes that provide so much to so many. We say, take every opportunity to give that comes your way this season.</p>

Whatever their onscreen personalities were, these TV moms helped raise us while filling our homes with laughter and tears. They gave us a peek into the lives of families we fell in love with and grew with each week. But whoever they were, none could compare to our real life moms.</p>

<p>We love the joy and companionship that animals bring to our lives. It is estimated that approximately 75 million dogs and 85 million cats are kept as pets. However, the problems involved with strays, overpopulation, and abandonment are very real issues as well. Shelters are full, and unfortunately, many animals are necessarily euthanized  approximately 2.7 million animals a year, 1.4 million of which are dogs. National Puppy Day was instituted 10 years ago as a way to bring attention to the need for animal lovers to adopt and rescue puppies from shelters, as opposed to buying from puppy mills. &nbsp;Of course, adopting older dogs saves lives as well, and is especially poignant as abandoned adult dogs are often very sad and confused about their situation.&nbsp;<span id="more-939"></span><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/send-in-los-angeles-glorious-hues/"><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-941" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/03/french-270x300.gif" alt="National Puppy Day" width="270" height="300"></a><br>
National Puppy Day is a wonderful opportunity to thank all of the caring people who work to save these animals, nurse them back to health if necessary, and go to great lengths to find them loving homes. Here at French Florist, we even have a floral bouquet designed specifically for the veterinarian who took care of Little Jo, owner Steve's dog. If you wish to thank the shelter workers or pet professionals who have loved your puppy as much as you do, a floral arrangement or green plant is a wonderful gesture.</p>
<p><strong>Did You Know?</strong> Animals from rescue shelters are often the kindest, happiest animals you can bring into your home. Happy to have a forever home, they are also usually well socialized and fit in well with your family and other pets.</p>
<p>On National Puppy Day, organizers urge people to consider adopting a puppy.

<p>If we asked you to nominate one plant as most symbolic of the holidays, which would you choose?</p>
<p>We at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> think we know: the poinsettia. This classic winter-blooming plant is known for its color  a true red  and its contrasting green leaves. You could say that the poinsettia has really nailed the Christmas color palette, but it's actually available in a range of hues, including white, pink and even orange. Though let's be honest; most workplaces need a huge dash of holiday color and have a lot of space to fill. It's the red poinsettia we love for our businesses and offices.</p>
<p><span id="more-1113"></span></p>
<p>Nothing makes a holiday statement more than a sea of red poinsettias. Cluster them around your workplace's point of entry or around a front desk, or sprinkle them throughout the office for a unified look. Whatever you do, these festive beauties will get the job done. If youre interested in a more refined presentation, consider our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/double-poinsettia/">Double Blooming Poinsettia</a>, which adds in moss, pine cones and a luxurious bow.<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/double-poinsettia/"><img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/145904048206a21fb3db7o-16120854739.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" alt="Double Blooming Poinsettia Garden - French Florist"></a></p>
<p>Something as special as our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/holiday-plants-poinsettia-delivery-los-angeles/green-graden/">Poinsettia &amp; Plant Garden</a>&nbsp;could be posed on a front desk or offered as a gift to a boss or coworker.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/holiday-plants-poinsettia-delivery-los-angeles/green-graden/"><img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/5-16120863528.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" alt="Poinsettia &amp; Plant Garden - Los Angeles Florist"></a></p>
<p>Poinsettias can be grouped together for a wash of color or planted right into other designs, as above. Even one or two blooms in an arrangement adds a lot of holiday cheer. Make sure your office poinsettias get some light and are watered every few days, that way theyll stay vibrant throughout the holiday season.</p>

SPECTACULAR POINSETTIAS FOR THE HOLIDAY OFFICE

<p>Secret Santa  the group gift swap where anonymous 'santas exchange presents  may seem like a new idea, but nothing could be further from the truth. It evolved from Scandinavia's Julklapp or Christmas knock, where gift givers knock on doors and toss a present inside once theyre opened, all without being seen. The progenitor of this custom was Knecht Rupert, St. Nicholas's servant.</p>
<p>Scandinavia, Ireland, Latin America and many more Western cultures share a Secret Santa tradition that has been in practice for a long time. But it's the U.S. version that we at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> want to help you with this year.</p>
<p><span id="more-1121"></span></p>
<p>One of the trickiest things about Secret Santa is also its best  the random assigning of gifter and giftee. It's what injects so much fun into the gift swap, but there's no guarantee youll know your recipient well enough to pick the perfect gift. And if youre trying to avoid the usual suspects  a bottle of wine, a coffee mug, a gift certificate  then it's harder still. We love the idea of selecting a crowd-pleasing gift, something that anyone would love to receive. Were talking about flowers, and specifically something like our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2612">A Fitz and Floyd Holly Berry Ornament</a>.<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2612"><img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/CFF82108071841059081211111004.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format"></a></p>
<p>What's sweet about this choice is the fresh seasonal blooms, which can be kept on a desk if youre doing Secret Santa at work or taken home to be enjoyed from there. The adorable ornament container makes for a charming piece of decor that your recipient can use again next year.</p>
<p>At <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist,</a> we take gift-giving seriously, but we also know it's important to have a lot of fun with your giving. To us, a game of Secret Santa is one of the best opportunities to do this.</p>
