The new year is arriving soon and bringing with it the possibility of newness. A fresh start and opportunity to improve aspects of our lives can be a welcome change. The floral experts at Billy Heroman’s Flowers recommend starting by surrounding yourself with flowers.
Flowers add color to your world, and color leads to creativity. Add some color and find inspiration when you fill your home or office with blooms in your favorite colors.
Plants and flowers purify the air, and when your air is clean, you are healthy. Studies show that people surrounded by flowers and plants have fewer colds, headaches and congestion than those without plants near them.
Green has the power to reduce stress, and in 2019, don't we all want a bit less stress? If looking at the color green is known to keep stress and anxiety at bay (and it is), then flowers with leafy greens should relax you quickly. Read More about New Year, New You »

During the holidays, we're encouraged to express our gratitude and our love toward family and friends, even the ones we have lost. What better way to do that than through a memorial that acknowledges our vets? In our case, the opportunity came at LSU's Memorial Oak Grove this past November.

From September 15 through October 15, the U.S. celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to acknowledge the rich contributions of Latin America, including its floriculture. Without Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and the Americas, we wouldn't have sunflowers, dahlias, anthurium, roses and much more. Since ancient times, many Latin American countries have been tending to and harvesting some of our most beloved flowers and plants, coaxing them to life using methods developed over hundreds of years. Billy Heroman's Flowers & Gifts honors the heritage and culture of Latin America, which is alive and well here in the U.S., thanks to our Hispanic American community.

Today, we consider how flowers--and daisies in particular--do just that. Read More about Daisies That Carry On A Floral Tradition »
