Looking forward to
2015 in the Flower Business
As we end 2014 and head into 2015 we should reflect on what
we do most days: grow, sell or arrange
beautiful flowers. People not in the business will often say, “You are so
lucky, you get to work with flowers every day!”
I rarely read the Economist but I saw an article from the
Dec 20th issue about the Manhattan flower business which had a very
interesting quote.
I am often frustrated with our industry and business,
especially since I live in the Silicon Valley where all business is cutting
edge and everyone is working on their 5th billion dollar startup.
What’s odd is; it is these guys who tell me how lucky I am not doing what they
do. Of course they are right, as my favorite fortune cookie advised me,
“You are where you are supposed to be.”
The flower business can be shitty, but I can’t imagine doing
anything else, and today I feel lucky that I get to do more of it in 2015.
