Fonda of Zuzu’s Petals wrote to say that they found a new member of the Zuzu team. Sounds like they got someone great. Here’s the note from Fonda.

Danielle  has been training at The Big for the last few weeks. She is an ace at flower prep and makes handheld bouquets with great attention to color and combo.

Her working knowledge of plants comes from a passion for growing things and years of tending both a Community Garden patch and  Orchid collection at home.

All you regulars, stop by to give her the warm zuzushopper welcome.

And here’s news of what’s in the shop this week:

We made a score with some crimson threadleaf Japanese Maples. 3 sizes from $120-$450.
All our late flowering shrubs and perennials are fat and full….Beauty Berry…both gold leaf and green, Chartreuse Hypericum,Variegated Caryopteris, Pink Flowering Abelia, Dwarf Crepe Myrtle.
Lots of Annuals that will bloom all Summer…Angelonia, Abutilon, Fuschia, Torenia, Moon Vine, Passion Flower, Oxalis in 3 colors, Bidens, Rose Impatiens.

In the Edibles, we still are giving away our Tomato starts for free. Our 4" Everbearing Strawberries are covered with flowers and fruit (which we snack on while watering)
In Herbs we have some gorgeous Thyme, Rosemary, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Mint and Sage.
Enough?

We are hoping Friday will prove to be a better Beach Day than the Weatherpersons predict. Little Zu will be closed this weekend as i said before.

Big Zu will be closed Friday so Lorraine can go to the beach and open again Saturday and Sunday. There are a mass of heat tolerant Fresh Cut Flowers inshop…pictured below: Giant Green Centered Sunflowers, Alstroemeria, Gerber Daisies and lots of interesting foliage.
