  25. Types of shops include:

  26. WHOLESALE FLORIST • Link between the grower and the retail florist • The wholesaler purchases flowers and supplies from growers and suppliers around the world and sells to local retail shops.

  27. WHOLESALE FLORIST • Wholesalers also supply plants, giftware, containers etc.

  28. RETAIL FLORIST • Most retail shops are full service • A full service shop offers regular and special delivery, set-ups for special events, charge accounts and wire service.

  29. RETAIL FLORIST • A retail florist purchases materials from wholesale growers, suppliers, and florists and sell directly to customers • Products and services sold include fresh flowers, blooming plants, balloons, novelty giftware, and silk and dried arrangements.

  30. SPECIALTY RETAIL SHOP – • Targets a specific need in the market by specializing in one segment of the industry • These types of shops would specialize in things such as weddings or potted plants. • Many times they are located adjacent to a business that provides similar services.

  31. CASH AND CARRY SHOPS • Offer a wide variety of flowers by the stem or bunch. • Generally do not offer design services. • Are often located in high traffic areas such as inside a mall or on the street.

  32. SPECIALTY FLORIST • Concentrates on specialty areas such as party work and weddings • May operate out of a warehouse or home without a storefront. • Most sales are made by appointment or at the customer’s home or business.

  33. MASS-MARKET FLORIST • Located in and associated with other businesses such as groceries and chain stores • Offer fresh arrangements, potted plants, balloons, flowers and stem, and novelty pieces • Usually do not offer delivery or custom design • These florists usually depend on unplanned purchases

  34. Now a little about plants and flowers • Plant - Multi-cellular organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis • Flowers – reproductive structure on plants. • Serve as site of reproduction. • Storage of food. (examples: grain, fruits, nuts) • Pollination

  35. Two main plant types • Plants can be classified based upon physiology, and by the way they grow. • We will look at both.

  36. What is a cotyledon? • This is the first seed leaves to appear as the seed germinates. Also known as seed leaves.

  37. Monocots and Dicots • Monocots 1- One cotyledon 2- Leaves-parallel venation 3- Stems-vascular bundles scattered throughout the stem 4- Flower parts in multiples of 3 5- Fibrous root system • Dicots 1- Two cotyledons 2- Leaves-netted venation 3- Stems-bundles arranged in a ring 4- Flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 5- Taproot system

  38. Annuals, biennials, Perennials • Annuals – complete their life cycle in one season. Examples: Marigold, Petunias, and many more!

  39. Biennials –complete their life cycle in two seasons. (first season vegetative growth, second season reproduce) • Examples: Holly Hocks, Fox Glove

  40. Perennials • Plants that grow year after year. Examples: Roses, Shasta Daisy

  41. Plant Classification -a means of grouping plants according to their similarities

  42. Botanical System of Classification • 7 Categories after Domain

  43. Botanical System of Classification • Please put these in your notebook! • 1. Kingdom • 2. Division or Phylum • 3. Class • Subclass

  44. Botanical System of Classification • 4. Order • 5. Family • 6. Genus • 7. Species

  45. Botanical System of Classification • Why do we need this? • -clearly id’s plants • Universal • Latin

  46. Process Of Photosynthesis C02+ H2O + sunlight = sugar (C6H12O6)+O2 (occurs in the presence of chloroplasts) Process Of Respiration Sugar (C6H12O6) + O2= CO2 + H2O (releases energy)

  47. Relationship Between Photosynthesis and Respiration • Photosynthesis 1- A building process (+) 2- Sugars manufactured 3- CO2 is consumed 4- Oxygen is given off 5-Requires light 6-Only takes place in cell containing chlorophyll 7- Sugar is the end product • Respiration 1-A destruction process (-) 2- Sugars consumed 3- C02 is given off 4-Oxygen is consumed 5- Goes on day and night 6-Carried on in all cells 7-Energy produced for plant functions is the product

  48. Plant Vegetative Structures Draw a plant in your notebook and label the following parts: • Roots • Stems • Leaves- put a leave rubbing in the notebook! FRUIT- is the fertilized, developed ovary (fleshy portion of the fruit) Seed- is the matured ovule
