Short on Tooth, Long on Scale.


The crocodile fern (pictured here) is an unusual (think Audrey II) & attractive plant, which draws its common name from its long, leathery fronds covered with what look like crocodile scales. It is easy-to-grow & requires consistently moist soil & LOVES to be misted now & again.

From Near -


Not far. Just in from local growers: White phlox, gloriosa lilies, branchy sunflowers, green sedum, mountain mint, white dahlias, & the piece de resistance - bergamot. Earl Grey, anyone?

Blushing Bride.

Created for a recent wedding, this bouquet of peonies, ranging from white to blush to pink, was set off with touches of camelia foliage & hand-tied with ivory organza ribbon.

(Note: Heights Floral Shoppe will be closed for the July 4th Weekend. Happy Independence Day!)
