About Us

Our Story

The Wright family has been in the floral industry for over 40 years. All the children were practically born in the flower shop. They grew up standing on a 5 gallon bucket and running the cash register, taking phone orders and attending to walk in customers. We never celebrated Valentine's Day or vacationed on Memorial Day as were too busy arranging and selling flowers. Being part of a small family business has been a special part of all of our lives. Today, all of the nine Wright siblings have their own non-flower businesses. After Chad's passing in 2024, Cherie now runs the flower shop with the help of her grandchildren, and has expanded to ship flowers to our customer's doorstep. For our family, this is a dream come true.

Meet the Florists

Chad and Cherie Wright have been florists for over 40 years. Chad was the artist and green thumb. Besides designing and arranging flowers he ran a robust greenhouse and a bustling personal garden and orchard. Cherie runs sales, the office, and the books. Chad passed away after a nearly decade long battle with cancer. His talents are missed by all who knew him. Cherie, her 9 children, 60 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren keep Chad's memory close through the flower shop.

The Flowers

The majority of cut flowers in the United States come from either Colombia or Ecuador. What most people don't realize is that the importation of flowers from these countries is part of the Unitied States' war on drugs. To incentivize South American farmers to trade out coca leaves (the main ingredient in cocaine) for flowers, the United States Congress passed the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act in 1991. The Act reduced or eliminated tariffs on flowers imported from coca leaf-producing countries in South America. The initiative worked. Today, an ever-growing number of flower farmers are trading drug crops for flowers. What makes growing flowers in this region so unique is its high elevation (over 9,000 ft above sea level), its proximity to the equator and clay-rich soils. The results are awe-inspiring. We are proud to provide you with gorgeous flowers straight from the farm of our hardworking friends in the world-famous Cotopaxi region of Ecuador. They will last much much longer than flowers you are accustomed to, as they are cut at the farm and in 3 days arrive at your doorstep.
