generally located within certain houses 04:53.133 --> 04:54.300 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5% within our operation. 04:54.433 --> 04:55.533 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% - They're beautiful! - Thank you. 04:55.666 --> 04:56.966 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - [J] They're beautiful. 04:57.100 --> 04:59.633 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 05:02.200 --> 05:03.366 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5% - This is lovely hearts 05:04.233 --> 05:07.200 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% probably one of our most popular varieties, with the color 05:07.333 --> 05:09.166 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% it's that coral peach color. 05:12.333 --> 05:14.033 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% And here you have the caramel antique 05:14.166 --> 05:18.033 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% it's got the light butterscotch caramel color, 05:18.166 --> 05:19.866 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5% it is very popular and opens up 05:20.000 --> 05:23.033 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% like that true garden style rose. 05:24.066 --> 05:27.100 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% - That, just that shape is so popular. 05:27.233 --> 05:29.633 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% - [Chad] It is, and we find, everybody is looking 05:30.700 --> 05:32.633 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% for that look, 05:32.766 --> 05:35.966 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% that cabbage outdoor appeal. 05:36.100 --> 05:37.266 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% - They were so fragile 05:37.400 --> 05:39.600 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% when we first started getting garden roses, 05:39.733 --> 05:41.766 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:62.5% but these are so durable. 05:41.900 --> 05:45.433 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% - And we're finding that the breeders are now crossbreeding 05:45.566 --> 05:49.700 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% varieties that have that certain European shape 05:49.833 --> 05:54.200 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% with other varieties, and we're getting that the longevity 05:54.333 --> 05:55.500 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:32.5% out of these, 05:55.633 --> 05:58.066 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% and the durability out of these varieties its outstanding. 05:58.200 --> 05:59.566 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% - Instead of you know the dozen roses 05:59.700 --> 06:01.333 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% that I used to get for Valentine's Day, 06:01.466 --> 06:02.800 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% do you think maybe I'll do like clusters 06:02.933 --> 06:05.233 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% of roses in a vase for Valentine's Day 06:05.366 --> 06:06.400 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5% With the garden effect? 06:06.533 --> 06:08.500 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% - I think so, I mean when these open up 06:08.633 --> 06:11.366 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% they take take up a lot more surface area. 06:12.733 --> 06:13.633 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% And they're just gonna add 06:13.766 --> 06:15.300 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% that much more beauty to the arrangement 06:15.433 --> 06:17.633 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5% that European style arrangement 06:17.766 --> 06:20.966 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% that I think people are dying to see. 06:21.100 --> 06:22.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% - [J] What's the lasting quality on these guys? 06:22.700 --> 06:25.966 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% - [Chad] Definitely 10 plus days on the garden roses. 06:26.100 --> 06:27.666 align:start position:42.5% line:79.33% size:15% - Wow! - Some even more, 06:27.800 --> 06:30.600 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% just depending on the petal structure that it has. 06:30.733 --> 06:33.300 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 06:39.666 --> 06:40.666 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% - [J] So what's your favorite thing 06:40.800 --> 06:42.333 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% about being a California flower farmer? 06:42.466 --> 06:45.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% - Being able to produce an American grown product 06:45.600 --> 06:49.866 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% and offer an American grown rose to the consumer. 06:50.000 --> 06:54.033 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% And hearing and seeing the reactions, 06:54.166 --> 06:57.033 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% and to be one of the California growers 06:57.166 --> 07:00.366 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% still producing roses, is definitely very exciting for us. 07:01.400 --> 07:05.666 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% And we're very excited about the future 07:05.800 --> 07:08.500 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% for California grown roses as well. 07:08.633 --> 07:11.166 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 07:26.866 --> 07:28.666 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% - Flowers can set a romantic tone, 07:28.800 --> 07:31.733 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% and it's not just about couples for a dinner party 07:31.866 --> 07:33.300 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% or patio entertaining, 07:33.433 --> 07:36.133 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% it's perfect to have romantic flowers. 07:36.266 --> 07:37.766 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% And one of the ways that we can talk 07:37.900 --> 07:41.000 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% about romantic flowers is through fragrance. 07:41.133 --> 07:44.300 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% Gardenias for example, have an intoxicating aroma. 07:45.933 --> 07:48.266 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% These are one of my favorite flowers 07:48.400 --> 07:50.266 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% and they're super easy to design with. 07:51.500 --> 07:54.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% As a kid, we grew gardenias in the greenhouse. 07:54.633 --> 07:56.866 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% If a bride wanted them for her wedding 07:57.000 --> 07:59.600 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% my grandfather would patiently baby them along 07:59.733 --> 08:01.633 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% to make sure that we had them. 08:01.766 --> 08:04.633 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% So having the smell of gardenias around the house, 08:04.766 --> 08:06.600 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5% brings fond memories. 08:06.733 --> 08:09.566 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% The gardenias that I'm using now are stem gardenias, 08:09.700 --> 08:12.733 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% which means they're cut on the stem. 08:12.866 --> 08:14.700 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% You might be familiar with seeing gardenias 08:14.833 --> 08:17.466 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% in a little box with just the flower head. 08:17.600 --> 08:20.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% But this way with the stem gardenias, 08:20.633 --> 08:23.233 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% we can cut flowers through in a bud like this 08:23.366 --> 08:25.900 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% and the bud will open up in the bouquet. 08:26.033 --> 08:28.500 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% Which means we get a lot longer vase life 08:28.633 --> 08:31.033 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% so we can enjoy something like this on our table 08:31.166 --> 08:32.966 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5% for five or six days. 08:33.100 --> 08:34.900 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% There's nothing quite like waking up 08:35.033 --> 08:37.300 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% or falling to sleep to the smell of gardenias. 08:37.433 --> 08:39.966 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 08:54.033 --> 08:54.933 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5% Another fragrant flower 08:55.066 --> 08:57.166 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% that's one of my favorites is the freesia. 08:58.566 --> 09:02.133 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% Freesia bulb flower, and they grow up on the stem like this 09:02.266 --> 09:04.200 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% opening all the way out to the end. 09:05.366 --> 09:08.633 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% They have a very interesting unique fragrance. 09:08.766 --> 09:10.666 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% As a little kid we grew them in the greenhouse 09:10.800 --> 09:12.133 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% and when the freesia were in bloom 09:12.266 --> 09:15.133 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% you'd go in the greenhouse and that's all you could smell. 09:15.266 --> 09:17.933 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% Some people say they smell like fruit loops 09:19.133 --> 09:20.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% and I think that's pretty accurate. 09:22.066 --> 09:24.133 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% They come in a wide variety of colors 09:24.266 --> 09:25.866 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:62.5% and interestingly enough, 09:26.000 --> 09:29.266 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% the colored freesia are more fragrant than the white, 09:29.400 --> 09:31.900 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% that isn't normally the case with most flowers, 09:32.033 --> 09:34.166 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% but with freesia it happens to be. 09:34.300 --> 09:36.833 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 09:42.500 --> 09:44.733 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% For this arrangement, we have all these little vases 09:44.866 --> 09:46.866 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% and they're attached to the tray. 09:47.000 --> 09:49.866 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% So I'll fill each one with a different color of freesia. 09:50.000 --> 09:51.133 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% This is great because you could slide it 09:51.266 --> 09:52.466 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5% in the middle of the table, 09:52.600 --> 09:54.233 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% and wherever people run into this 09:54.366 --> 09:57.100 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% they're gonna be able to smell these beautiful flowers. 09:57.233 --> 09:59.466 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% Having flowers around the house in different spots 09:59.600 --> 10:02.666 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% can also evoke romance depending upon where they're placed. 10:02.800 --> 10:05.366 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 10:21.766 --> 10:23.933 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% The other way to approach romance with flowers 10:24.066 --> 10:26.733 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% is by the shape of the arrangement we create. 10:26.866 --> 10:30.166 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% These beautiful roses have been made into a heart shape 10:30.300 --> 10:32.700 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% and the heart symbol itself, becomes romantic. 10:34.966 --> 10:37.833 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% Floating flowers are another way for us to add romance 10:37.966 --> 10:39.166 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% and there's nothing better 10:39.300 --> 10:41.466 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% than adding candlelight to a centerpiece. 10:41.600 --> 10:43.800 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% So a floating candle, and floating flowers 10:43.933 --> 10:45.800 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% is perfect for your dining room table. 10:49.033 --> 10:50.666 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% Roses are also romantic, 10:50.800 --> 10:52.933 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% and another way to add romance to your bath 10:53.066 --> 10:54.900 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% is to add rose petals. 10:55.033 --> 10:58.100 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% I like to choose organic varieties or grow them myself 10:58.233 --> 11:00.933 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% and then place those fragrant petals into the bath. 11:02.133 --> 11:04.400 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% So you see there's all kinds of choices 11:04.533 --> 11:07.166 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% when we want to add romance to our Life In Bloom. 11:11.500 --> 11:14.033 align:start position:10% line:10% size:35% (upbeat music) 11:15.500 --> 11:18.933 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5% Today for flower cocktail hour, I'm joined by chef Jenna, 11:19.066 --> 11:20.266 align:start position:10% line:10% size:75% she owns an Italian restaurant 11:20.400 --> 11:23.166 align:start position:10% line:10% size:65% with her husband Maurizio, it's called Amore. 11:23.300 --> 11:25.833 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 11:27.666 --> 11:30.000 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% You inspired me for my book. 11:30.133 --> 11:30.966 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:15% - Yes. 11:31.100 --> 11:34.333 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% Fun with Flowers to create rose cello. 11:34.466 --> 11:35.400 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:15% - Yes. 11:35.533 --> 11:38.700 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% - So today, I created a rose infused vodka. 11:38.833 --> 11:40.100 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% - I'm kind of loving that. 11:40.233 --> 11:41.900 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% - Right, 'cause roses are romantic. 11:42.033 --> 11:45.333 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% - So romantic, and it's crazy but they taste good. 11:45.466 --> 11:49.033 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% - The process for this was that we took potato vodka 11:49.933 --> 11:54.900 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% and I added fragrant red rose petals every day 11:55.433 --> 11:56.533 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5% or as often as I could. 11:56.666 --> 11:57.966 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% I grew them outside so I could govern them, 11:58.100 --> 11:59.600 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% make sure they're organic. 11:59.733 --> 12:02.533 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% And then, I added them when I had them available 12:02.666 --> 12:03.633 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% pull the petals off, 12:03.766 --> 12:05.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% I didn't leave the pollen or the stems on them. 12:05.366 --> 12:06.233 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:17.5% - Okay. 12:06.366 --> 12:08.800 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% - And mixed it in for six weeks. 12:08.933 --> 12:10.300 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% - Perfect, look at that color. 12:10.433 --> 12:12.900 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% - So yeah, so then at that point in time you have, 12:13.033 --> 12:15.433 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:62.5% and the petals are inside 12:15.566 --> 12:17.533 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% they remain intact but they lose all their color. 12:17.666 --> 12:20.466 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% So that's the essence of that red coloration. 12:20.600 --> 12:22.533 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% - I really like this 'cause the first time we did it 12:22.666 --> 12:24.066 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5% we did it with the pink roses 12:24.200 --> 12:27.100 align:start position:22.5% line:74% size:57.5% and it didn't have that beautiful color that this one does. 12:27.233 --> 12:29.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% - Right, right so you and I both have this thing 12:29.700 --> 12:31.066 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% about processed foods. 12:31.200 --> 12:32.266 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:15% - Yes. 12:32.400 --> 12:34.466 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% - And you use all that local stuff at your restaurant. 12:34.600 --> 12:36.666 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% - If you know where it comes from, 12:36.800 --> 12:38.566 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% it somehow that tastes better. 12:38.700 --> 12:40.500 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5% - Yeah, and better for you. 12:40.633 --> 12:42.166 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% - It's way better for you yes. 12:42.300 --> 12:46.300 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% - So then I used local honey from Michigan 12:46.433 --> 12:48.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% and made a simple syrup of Oklahoma. 12:48.533 --> 12:49.900 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5% - I love that, look at you! 12:50.033 --> 12:51.900 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75% - Right, right, so then I add, 12:52.033 --> 12:53.866 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% so we had two bottles of potato vodka. 12:54.000 --> 12:57.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% So 1/4 cup of simple syrup, so 1/2 cup for the two. 12:57.766 --> 12:58.933 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% And then I just put it in this bottle 12:59.066 --> 12:59.933 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% this is reclaimed bottle 13:00.133 --> 13:00.933 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:27.5% that I had. - It's really cute. 13:01.066 --> 13:03.033 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% - So then we have it as a cocktail. 13:03.166 --> 13:08.066 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% When you taste it, it tastes like vodka 13:08.866 --> 13:12.133 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% but it also tastes the way that a rose smells. 13:12.266 --> 13:13.400 align:start position:37.5% line:84.67% size:25% - It does. 13:13.533 --> 13:16.200 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% - That's the best, the best way that I can think about. 13:16.333 --> 13:20.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - And I found this recipe in a very old book 13:20.333 --> 13:24.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% that was all in Italian about homemade liqueurs. 13:25.300 --> 13:29.366 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% And the little story near it was just about how 13:29.500 --> 13:31.600 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% women would make this and in the afternoon 13:31.733 --> 13:34.400 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% when their husbands would creep out for coffee, 13:34.533 --> 13:35.400 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5% they pour that stuff, 13:35.533 --> 13:37.833 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% on their drink. - I love it. 13:37.966 --> 13:39.166 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:32.5% It's perfect. - I know. 13:40.200 --> 13:41.666 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5% - So our husbands are away. 13:41.800 --> 13:42.600 align:start position:40% line:84.67% size:20% - Right. 13:44.866 --> 13:45.766 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5% We're having a little cocktail. 13:45.900 --> 13:47.100 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% - That's right. - That's what we do. 13:47.233 --> 13:48.900 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% - Ice here, there we go all right. 13:50.833 --> 13:54.700 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% So, I thought a little, a little rose spritzer. 13:54.833 --> 13:55.766 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65% - What's better than that? 13:55.900 --> 13:58.866 align:start position:40% line:79.33% size:20% - Right? - It's making me thirsty. 13:59.000 --> 14:00.900 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% - So two water, well I'm coming. 14:01.033 --> 14:04.300 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% - There you go, I feel like we should garnish it 14:04.433 --> 14:05.866 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% with like a rose petal or something. 14:06.000 --> 14:07.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% - We could do that. - Right. 14:08.100 --> 14:08.933 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:62.5% - We can do that hold on. 14:09.066 --> 14:10.400 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% - Wouldn't that be pretty and romantic? 14:10.533 --> 14:11.366 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% - [J] It would be. 14:13.800 --> 14:14.566 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% - Are we gonna have a drink? 14:14.700 --> 14:16.633 align:start position:40% line:79.33% size:22.5% - We are. - Salute! 14:16.766 --> 14:19.100 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% - Really we're home alone. - I know right. 14:19.233 --> 14:22.700 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:25% (laughing) Wow! 14:22.833 --> 14:24.666 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% You get the rose right at the beginning. 14:24.800 --> 14:26.166 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% - It's true. - And it stays 14:26.300 --> 14:27.200 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5% through to the end. 14:30.333 --> 14:31.200 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5% I would drink this. 14:31.333 --> 14:33.233 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% - It reminds me so much of what you fixed 14:33.366 --> 14:35.000 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5% that day you came to visit. 14:35.133 --> 14:37.366 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% - It's so good with the soda, I love that. 14:37.500 --> 14:38.766 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5% - Yeah, it's delicious. 14:38.900 --> 14:41.466 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 14:47.066 --> 14:48.200 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5% Why do you think people think 14:48.333 --> 14:51.366 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% that Italian restaurants are so romantic? 14:51.500 --> 14:52.533 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% What's the connection? 14:52.666 --> 14:54.933 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% - In general, Italy is romantic place 14:55.066 --> 14:57.466 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5% and it's always been kind of, 14:57.600 --> 14:59.800 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% especially if you haven't visited Italy 14:59.933 --> 15:03.066 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% you just picture it as a beautiful romantic place. 15:03.200 --> 15:08.166 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% If you see movies or the models that you see 15:09.133 --> 15:11.933 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% and all the magazines and everything. 15:12.066 --> 15:14.900 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% And I think a place called Amore is already romantic. 15:15.033 --> 15:17.033 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% The reason we called tt Amore is because 15:17.166 --> 15:19.533 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% that's what Maurizio and I call each other. 15:19.666 --> 15:21.966 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5% Like it's our pet name. 15:22.100 --> 15:25.366 align:start position:20% line:74% size:62.5% And we didn't realize how awesome it was, that it was Amore 15:25.500 --> 15:26.800 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% because once we were in the phone book 15:26.933 --> 15:28.900 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5% we were number one on the list. 15:29.033 --> 15:30.700 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% Because alphabetically, we came up, 15:30.833 --> 15:33.533 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% we were like, "This was a double bonus!" 15:33.666 --> 15:36.133 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% Because if we're at an event or anything 15:36.266 --> 15:37.433 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5% Amore comes up first. 15:37.566 --> 15:38.266 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:37.5% - Right, right. 15:38.400 --> 15:40.366 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5% So Jenna, I have a tradition. 15:40.500 --> 15:41.700 align:start

romantic flower is lavender. 17:25.633 --> 17:28.200 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% That smell is wonderful, 17:28.333 --> 17:31.433 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% and we can use lavender when we cook. 17:31.566 --> 17:34.366 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% Whether we make an elixir that can be added to cocktails 17:34.500 --> 17:38.466 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% or we can actually use the flower buds in cookies. 17:38.600 --> 17:41.733 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% So today we'll create some romantic cookies 17:41.866 --> 17:44.166 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% using lavender buds and lemon zest. 17:45.166 --> 17:47.700 align:start position:10% line:10% size:35% (upbeat music) 20:20.300 --> 20:22.533 align:start position:10% line:10% size:55% Keep your flowers away from the fruit bowl, 20:22.666 --> 20:25.466 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% fruit gives off ethylene a ripening hormone. 20:26.400 --> 20:28.766 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% this causes flowers to age more quickly. 20:28.900 --> 20:31.466 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 20:37.166 --> 20:38.866 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% When I think about fragrant flowers, 20:39.000 --> 20:41.966 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% I think about the phrase, stop and smell the roses. 20:42.100 --> 20:43.166 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5% I think it's important for us 20:43.300 --> 20:45.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% to take time to smell the flowers, 20:45.966 --> 20:47.833 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% and it's wonderful when the flowers 20:47.966 --> 20:50.366 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80% smell as beautiful as they look. 20:50.500 --> 20:53.233 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% Many people claim the phrase stop and smell the roses 20:53.366 --> 20:55.700 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% dates back over a century or more. 20:55.833 --> 20:59.600 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% The story goes that two ladies were standing in their yards 20:59.733 --> 21:01.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% one was discussing how much labor 21:01.533 --> 21:03.900 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% went into creating the garden that she had, 21:04.033 --> 21:07.666 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% the other neighbor suggested that she perhaps step back 21:07.800 --> 21:08.766 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% and look at the beauty 21:08.900 --> 21:10.933 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% she had created with all of that labor, 21:11.066 --> 21:14.100 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% and take time to stop and smell the roses. 21:14.233 --> 21:16.433 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% The phrase gained prominence again in 1957 21:16.566 --> 21:18.266 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% in Walter Hagen's biography. 21:18.400 --> 21:21.433 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% The golfer told us don't hurry, don't worry 21:21.566 --> 21:23.700 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% and be sure to stop and smell the flowers. 21:24.566 --> 21:26.766 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% So everything we have on the table today 21:26.900 --> 21:28.266 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5% is a fragrant flower. 21:28.400 --> 21:32.800 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% We've got stock, we have lilies, roses, 21:32.933 --> 21:36.166 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% wax flower and a couple types of foliages 21:36.300 --> 21:38.533 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% that also have fragrance as well. 21:38.666 --> 21:41.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% This bouquet will certainly fill a room with fragrance. 21:41.766 --> 21:44.333 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 21:46.233 --> 21:48.533 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% First we'll start with senagrania, 21:48.666 --> 21:52.100 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5% I love this 'cause it has a wonderful minty fragrance. 21:52.233 --> 21:54.766 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 21:58.100 --> 22:00.933 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% I like that the stock has an herbal smell as well. 22:01.066 --> 22:03.433 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% It smells like cloves, some people say cinnamon. 22:03.566 --> 22:06.100 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 22:17.633 --> 22:22.633 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% This wax flower has such a unique fresh fragrance. 22:22.766 --> 22:25.300 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 22:28.033 --> 22:29.166 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5% This some melaleuca foliage 22:29.300 --> 22:32.466 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% and what's interesting about this is, 22:32.600 --> 22:34.633 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5% when you strip down the foliage 22:36.100 --> 22:39.400 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5% it has almost a eucalyptus type smell. 22:39.533 --> 22:41.300 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% It smells real fresh and clean again, 22:41.433 --> 22:43.200 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% it matches really well 22:43.333 --> 22:47.166 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5% with the clove, the cinnamon, the mint. 22:49.566 --> 22:51.033 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70% Now it's time for our roses. 22:51.166 --> 22:53.700 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 22:57.133 --> 22:59.900 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% What's interesting about the rose itself 23:00.100 --> 23:04.966 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% is that the thorns are associated with the fragrance. 23:05.100 --> 23:07.666 align:start position:32.5% line:84.67% size:35% (upbeat music) 23:28.800 --> 23:32.200 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33%
