Bright & Cheerful: High Gold
Yellow flowers will always be chic. You can count on a sunny bloom to elevate your mood thanks to the color's bright and cheery appeal. The lively hue is often linked with sunshine, warmth, and happiness… emotions that are all worth relishing. Beyond yellow’s symbolic meaning, it's important to remember how versatile it is when picking out flowers. Matching yellow blooms with other flowers and foliage is easy, especially because the shade blends well with most others.
If you're creating a spring design and want a color scheme that represents the season, you might want to select a yellow Leucospermum, like High Gold. A spring fave here on the farm that delivers a cheerful pop of vivid yellow blooms beautifully displayed on long, straight stems, now through May.
High Gold is statement-making not only due to its color but its awesome texture too, so you can work in just a small brust of color with a few well-placed blooms. Take this centerpiece, for example. The High Gold, as seen here, do not need to be the focal point to make a statement. The vibrant color has that covered, without monopolizing the whole arrangement.
Whether you prefer to mix a variety of colors throughout your design or you're a fan of a monochromatic, you shouldn't underestimate how brightly High Gold can shine.

Finding Relief in a World of Panic
I confess to a strange sensation amid a world in the panic of epidemiological meltdown: I feel relief, a curious lightness of spirit borne not of sangfroid, but of surrender. To be sure I am gravely concerned for all of us in this COVID-19 nightmare. We are all in it together, and we are all responsible. But as I sat yesterday erasing line after line in my calendar (paper and pencil, quaint, I know), of speaking appearances, book signings, a TV shoot, a working trip to Europe, a vacation, and a considerable amount of money, I couldn’t help feel the kind of conflicted joy that might accompany a string of stay-at-home snow days: a pain in the neck but also an opportunity (a painortunity?) A sort-of vacation, but minus the anxiety of what you left undone… because you haven’t actually left, and probably won’t anytime soon.

'Out of the greenhouse and into a dumpster':
Flower farmers impacted during COVID-19 pandemic
Flower farmers impacted during COVID-19 pandemic
WATSONVILLE, Calif. —
"If you can't sell, to be honest, there is really no point in harvesting the flowers. So we are taking the flowers out the greenhouse and into a dumpster. It's very bleak. It's not nice at all," said Farai Madziva, vice president of sales and chief of staff with Kitayama Brothers Farms.
Kitayama Brothers is only operating with 25% of its staff, and the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing flower farmers to run a skeleton staff.
Madziva said: "Can our employees get back to an entity that still exists? They can say we are back home and continue growing. Most of our employees have been with us for more than 20 years. When you look at that, we are family. Just letting people go and saying goodbye, and when they come back, the family is not there anymore. Those are the concerns, those are the worries, that is what we are trying to preserve."
