Boutonnieres & Corsages for Homecoming

Homecoming weekend has a long and colorful  history, dating back to 1910. We can thank the athletic director at the University of Missouri for his vision. He decided to invite past alumni "back home" to watch the football game against rival University of Kansas, perhaps to fill the stands. Little did he know that over 10,000 past students would flock back to the event, which also included speeches, rallies and a parade. Over the years, more events have been added to individual school's traditions, although most weekend still revolve around a football game.Common activities include spirit rallies, tailgating parties, the crowning of the Homecoming Court, and of course - the homecoming dance. If you are attending your own formal dance and need flowers, Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist is here to design the perfect corsage and boutonniere for the event.  Read More about Boutonnieres & Corsages for Homecoming »

Summer Hydrangea Flowers & Designs

Of all the seasonal flowers, the summer hydrangea may be one of the least appreciated. Not because its beautiful colors and lush, generous flowers are not recognized - but because they have largely been relegated to playing a supporting role in many floral arrangements. Still, this popular summer flower, which blooms between late spring and early fall, is deserving of our attention and our July spotlight! This month, how about bringing home a huge bouquet of hydrangea? Their ethereal ambiance and refreshing palettes make them the perfect choice for mid-summer floral arrangements.  Read More about Summer Hydrangea Flowers & Designs »

Red, White & Blue Flowers for Independence Day

For over 240 years, July 4th has been a day set apart to celebrate the unique freedoms that we have come to appreciate in the United States. But its beginnings were a little fuzzy - from John Adams publicly declaring that July 2nd was Independence Day, to the majority of the founding fathers not signing the Declaration of Independence until August 2nd. Still, the date written on the original document prevailed, and a nation was born. Did You Know? John Hancock was one of only two members of Congress who signed on July 4th - which explains his favored position on the document.  Read More about Red, White & Blue Flowers for Independence Day »

Mother’s Day History – A Bit of Trivia

As Mother’s Day draws near, and we think about the meaning behind the holiday – it is interesting to note that moms, flowers, and celebrations have been associated with each other since the very earliest stories of culture. Down through all the ancient civilizations, the matriarchs of a family or clan were given special recognition, and often decorated with flowers during the ceremonies. To this day, flowers are the #1 gift given on Mother's Day, and here at Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist we couldn't imagine celebrating our Moms without flowers.
