Eye Bombed!

We work hard here at Stein Your Florist Co., but we like to have fun too! Yesterday employee Chris left his keys unattended in the shop while he diligently cared for the plants in our greenhouse…

Little did he know a mischievous gerbera daisy got ahold of them and eye bombed his car!

Chris is a good sport, we had a good time, and the “eyes” definitely have it!

The Humanization of Flowers




Statice

A few days ago we found a bag of googly eyes here at the shop.  You know, the little white plastic disks with the smaller black disk trapped under clear lens that jiggles and shakes when they move about.


Carnations

 

 

Sunflower

 

No idea why we have them… we’re not making a bunch of pipe cleaner animals or anything here!

So we started sticking them on all kinds of silly things, our water cooler, a lamp, and then flowers… that’s when things got ridiculous.

Antherium

 

 

 

Before we knew it we had eyebombed our own store. From roses to liatris, almost every flower in the shop had been humanized.

 

Hydrangea

 

We set up our video camera and about 45 minutes of silly unscripted floral puppetry ensued.





Pom Pon

We always thought our crew was a bit wacky, but now we know for sure!

 




Heliconia

 

 

 

 

Some of our "performance" was slightly reminiscent of the talking flowers of Alice in Wonderland (without the lovely singing), but most was just absurd.



Calla Lilies

 

 

 

 

  

Iris

We’d like to say that no flowers were harmed in the making of this film, but that would be a lie. Our laughing orange lily didn’t make it (we didn't even get a picture of the poor guy)…

 

while twirling he lost 3 of his 6 petals, but he shall be forever immortalized in the archives of You Tube.



Rainbow Rose

 

 

And to think this was all part of a day’s work ;-P
