A City of Skyscrapers

Many people know that Chicago is home to the Willis Tower, better known by its former name of the Sears Tower. This skyscraper completed in 1973 is 110 stories tall and is 2nd in height only to the 2014 World Trade Center building in New York City in all of the Western Hemisphere. Did you know, though, that Chicago was also the site of the first skyscraper? The Home Insurance Building erected in 1885 was a mere 10 stories high, but the technique of creating a steel interior frame with a brick exterior marked a new type of construction known as the Chicago Skeleton.

To select a flower arrangement of epic proportions, consider requesting a tall glass vase. Certain types of flowers, known as line flowers, have blossoms all along their stems that create a ‘line’ and give an arrangement height. Examples of line flowers include stock, delphinium, larkspur, snapdragons, and gladiolas. Some line flowers have naturally long stems that will reach the bottoms of tall vases. Besides flowers, accents such as pussy willow branches, curly willow, and birch branches can draw the eye upward in a flower arrangement. Skyscraper-esque flower arrangements are suitable for large tables, rooms with high ceilings, outdoors, special events, or anytime you would like to make a lasting impression on your recipient.

Illinois Sports 

Illinois residents have much to be proud of with their professional sports teams. After all, the Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series and the Chicago Bulls have seen such great players as Michael Jordan. Fans of the city’s Bears football team were famously parodied on Saturday Night Live and the Blackhawks, Whitesox, and Fire round out all other areas of athletics.

If your friend or loved one is a super fan of Illinois sports, consider sending her an arrangement in her favorite team’s color palate. There are many flower varieties that come in the red, white, blue, and orange colors that represent the city. A sports-themed flower arrangement would make a great centerpiece or hostess gift when fans gather together to watch an important game. On any occasion, giving flowers to symbolize something she loves shows that you know her tastes well.
