While their earlier morning orders had encumbered their existing roses availability, Lia the co-owner of the shop with Adam (other co-owner) made some suggestions. Lea took time to hear my specific requirements and made recommendations. While ultimately I decided not to purchase a floral arrangement with Blackbird Floral today, the positive personal interaction with Lea made me want to purchase an arrangement in the future. Their prices are slightly higher than their competitors. I liked that they had some exotic flowers I do not normally see. Look forward to purchasing a Blackbird Floral arrangement in the future...

Plenty of seating! From the outside, it deceptively looks like there's limited spots but there's an entire separate dining area separated by an interior brick wall.

I recently stopped by the new address just off Lamar to see if I could catch her to discuss floral arrangements for an upcoming event, but realized it's a STUDIO ONLY LOCATION, and not a flower shop that you can stop into.

I plan to stop by to visit them tomorrow and wanted to bring them flowers as a Mother's Day treat. They had an assortment of floral selections variegated carnations, roses, peonies, azaleas, to name just a few. One steam ranged from $1.25 upwards. For the quality of their flowers, that was a very good price. I will pop back by tomorrow to pick the freshest ones before my visit. My mother is no longer living. During Mother's Day I try to remember other mothers because to have your mom is such a huge blessing. The senior ladies at Atria are like an extension of my own family. When you do thoughtful for things for them, they just light up, which is heartwarming.

Not only did they deliver in under four hours, but the flowers were absolutely gorgeous and incredibly fresh.

I'll definitely be ordering from them again and would highly recommend!

She was doing something with a plant that was so interesting, I kept sneaking little glances. I didn't want to ask her what because I didn't want her to know I was clueless about the world of beautiful plants. But I was in the area with a client, and the store caught my attention. It says "plants" and "parties" on the outside. I stopped in, saw all the greenery, and thought, "This is the perfect place to host a plant party." I have two young ladies in the family who are building their own plant garden, including veggies, and I'd like to surprise them with a plant party. I walked around admiring the plants; they stood so tall, healthy, and gorgeous in their containers. I actually wanted to purchase one, but didn't know the protocol, like whether it would stay inside the container or if I had to take it without the container. So I decided I'll do a little research and then return. But most of all, this is such a beautiful store and a great place to have a plant party! Now, I just looked at the website and saw a list of services for a great price!

In route to a bookstore, I noticed the succulent store and decided to pop in. Succulent Native is a plant boutique in Austin, Texas, specializing in succulents, cacti, and creative plant arrangements. Quite honestly, I never knew that there were so many permutations of succulents. I actually believe I might be able to keep a succulent alive since they require little maintenance. I learned from the store manager that they host succulent parties. That would be a cool way to spend time with family and friends. In addition, while they have some beautiful plants, some can be a bit pricey. With that said, there is a section of the store that has some reasonably priced smaller plants. There's a little something for everyone.
