Motown
The city of Detroit, Michigan became known as Motown, a combination of the words “motor” and “town,” due to its thriving automotive industry that began in the early 1900s and still exists today. This city, which is full of personality, also gave rise to the music genre of the same name in the early 1960s. But how did Michigan get to be the car capital of the world? First, it had the right materials: iron ore, timber, and access to trade routes and major cities. Second, it had the right minds: Henry Ford and Ransom Olds along with other executives that skipped between local companies, keeping their innovations within the Detroit area.
If you are looking for an auto themed flower arrangement for a Michigan resident, be sure to think sleek. An arrangement with large, bold blooms such as lilies, roses, chrysanthemums, protea, or carnations will have more of a sleek and manicured look than wildflowers. Also consider monochromatic flowers in classic car hues such as red or blue. For a hint of shine, a florist can use a metallic vase, metallic painted leaves, or shiny decorative wires.
Michigan State vs. Michigan Football Rivalry
Many Michigan residents support either Michigan State or the University of Michigan’s football team. While they are within the same state, the Wolverines and the Spartans are fierce rivals! These Michigan football rivals have been competing for the Paul Bunyan Trophy since 1950 when Michigan State entered into the Big Ten Conference, but their games go back as far as 1898.
For the Michigan State Spartans fan, you will want to send a predominantly green flower arrangement. Flowers that come in this shade include roses, carnations, bells of Ireland, alstroemeria, button mums, and dianthus. If you root for the Wolverines, on the other hand, blue and yellow flowers will be more to your liking. Blue flowers include thistle, delphinium, hydrangea, iris, and bachelor buttons. And roses, lilies, daisy pompons, carnations, and spray roses come in yellow.
Recipients will enjoy these sports themed arrangements for a college graduation, going off to college, or to celebrate a win for the team. One of these color schemes would also be appropriate for sympathy or funeral flowers for a big fan of one of these schools.
