Floral fulfillment meets Hollywood glamour

OK, this is just clever:

Ben Swett, president of the drop-ship plant company FloraServ, gave me the inside scoop on plants walking the red carpet this year. And apparently competition is stiff among these floral superstars. (It’s like a Hollywood catfight, it seems. Just without the nail polish, high heels and stuff like that.)

“You’ll note that there is some controversy here,” Ben said. “The competition can be quite tense, as it’s not clear exactly what the judges are looking for in their search for the plant that will be highest in customer satisfaction. The standard seems to shift from year to year. We watch closely, of course, as the plants most likely to satisfy are the ones we want to ship to our floral brethren.”
