Please meet The Dutch Connection, a european-style floral shop and boutique with two retail locations in Baltimore. Hand-tied bouquets are our specialty, using seasonal imports from Holland as well as locally grown flowers. In our shops, we carry an exclusive line of pottery, glassware, gifts, and plants for indoors and out. On our blog, we'll be sharing our day-to-day happenings in the business, so check back often and thanks for reading!
For our first post, we'd like to introduce the Mikado plant (shown above). Mikado (Syngonanthus chrysanthus) is a swamp plant native to Brazil, which was discovered approximately 20 years ago. A swamp is not exactly the origin you'd think of when you see this simple, elegant plant. Mikado likes bright, indirect light and needs water regularly (that's where the swamp part comes in). If you'd like to give a Mikado plant as a gift—or get one for yourself—visit either of our shops!
Thanks for the heads up about your blog! i love your shops and i'm looking forward to checking back in for you next post.
ReplyDeleteCool plant. I actually bought my mother one of those for Mother's Day from your shop. She absolutely loved it.
Glad you got a blog started. Looking forward to checking out new plants in the shop and learning a bit or two about them. (Great photo BTW! I can't believe that plant was discovered only 20 years ago).
