Exotic Flowers

Friday, May 11th, 2007

In making his American dream a reality, Arnold “Sonny” Canale acquired Lombardi Florist in 1957 where he has been an employee since 1943. Even in the early 1900’s, it was already a successful business. Two years after he bought the company, he married a woman named Russo whence they merged their operations. Forecasting the change of economy in the entry of the new millennium, Sonny adopted the label of [TAG-Tec]Exotic Flowers[/TAG-Tec] as its primary signature starting in 1993.

By 1994, Exotic Flowers opened another satellite location at 2 Dartmouth Street in the southern end of Boston. The following year they expanded their services by taking another shop in Route 3A at Cohasset. Not long ago, in 2001, they can be visited at Greenhouse of Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Their original domicile in Roslindale still exists where all the orders and reservations are bridged from there. In time, it remains an entirely family- owned corporation. As a matter of fact, all their children have roles to play for its continued progress. (more…)

You then stop in belief and agreed that you have become badly informed of the latest. So instead, you munched on a spoonful of the edible flowers and found yourself smiling in satisfaction.

Akin to what Douglas McArthur uttered when he stepped into the shores of Leyte in the Philippines, edible flowers are back in vogue after years of being away in the scene of culinary arts. History would trace it back from the Roman period to the Chinese spreading to the Middle Eastern and down to the cultures of India. It was especially famous in the Victorian era. Presently, there is a lot of chefs that have put novelty in their cooking styles. You can hear their finished products holler that “if technology knows all too well about innovation, then we are not far from the line.” There are plenty that garnish their entrees with plant blossoms to give that touch of elegance.
