Flower Delivery Service in Kansas

Kansans did not always take kindly to Baum’s portrayal of their state, however, especially when it came to the film adaptaion made in 1939. The scenes shot in monochrome depicted Dorothy living in a run-down, drab, and tornado-ridden Kansas. In contrast, the Land of Oz was in Technicolor, which was a popular medium for musical films at the time, and added to the movie’s color symbolism. Today though, Kansas’ citizens proudly display Oz memorabilia in tourist destinations such as Dorothy’s House in Liberal, Kansas and The Oz Museum in Wamego, Kansas. Therefore Kansas’ residents, or any fans of the movie, might love a flower arrangement based on this classic film with themes such as:

The Yellow Brick Road 

Dorothy and her friends must “follow the yellow brick road” if they wish to find the Wizard of Oz. And once they start down this path, the adventure of the movie ensues. To express the theme of the yellow brick road, choose yellow flower varieties such as gerber daisies, daisy pom pons, roses, alstroemeria, snapdragons, sunflowers, and spray roses. Aside from color, another way to incorporate this theme is by selecting an arrangement designed in a pavé, which means “paved,” style. When florists use this style, they arrange in flowers with each stem pointing straight down rather than at an angle. Flowers are clustered close together to create a continuous “paved” look like stones on a road. Yellow flower arrangements make great gifts for new babies, thank you arrangements, or sympathy.

Dorothy’s Ruby Red Slippers 

Dorothy got her Ruby Red slippers from the Wicked Witch of the East, and when she clicked her heels together three times, she was transported back to her home in Kansas. The ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the movie can even be seen today at the Smithsonian Institution. There are many red varieties of flowers to choose from like roses, gerber daisies, hypericum berries, amaryllis, spray roses, and lilies. For a touch of sparkle like Dorothy’s slippers had, ask your florist to add glitter to your flower arrangement, or, choose a ruby red vase as the basis for the design. As the color of love, red flower arrangements are a lovely anniversary gift or Valentine’s Day gift.

The Emerald City

After adventuring down the yellow brick road, Dorothy and her comrades finally reach the Emerald City, home to the Wizard of Oz. As its name suggests, everything in this city is green. Aside from many beautiful types of foliage such as aspidistra leaves, plumosa fern, foxtail fern, ti leaves, and lemon leaf, there are also green flowers. These include roses, hypericum berries, carnations, anthurium, and hydrangeas. By simply being a product of nature, flowers have a “green” theme to them that make them desirable to those who love the hue and those who wish to bring a bit of nature indoors.
