The thing with zinnias ... and I'm not just talking about the zinnia elegans variety but the whole genus of these disk-shaped wonders with their improbable geometries of color. There's this moment when you're standing at the florist counter or maybe in your own garden, scissors poised, and you have to make a choice about what goes in the vase, what gets to participate in the temporary sculpture that will sit on your dining room table or office desk. And zinnias, man, they're basically begging for the spotlight. They come in colors that don't even seem evolutionarily justified: screaming magentas, sulfur yellows, salmon pinks that look artificially manufactured but aren't. The zinnia is a native Mexican plant that somehow became this democratic flower, available to anyone who wants a splash of wildness in their orderly arrangements.

Consider the standard rose bouquet. Nice, certainly, tried and true, conventional, safe. Now add three or four zinnias to that same arrangement and suddenly you've got something that commands attention, something that makes people pause in their everyday movements through your space and actually look. The zinnia refuses uniformity. Each bloom is a fractal wonderland of tiny florets, hundreds of them, arranged in patterns that would make a mathematician weep with joy. The centers of zinnias are these incredible spiraling cones of geometric precision, surrounded by rings of petals that can be singles, doubles, or these crazy cactus-style ones that look like they're having some kind of botanical identity crisis.

What most people don't realize about zinnias is their almost supernatural ability to last. Cut flowers are dying things, we all know this, part of their poetry is their impermanence. But zinnias hold out against the inevitable longer than seems reasonable. Two weeks in a vase and they're still there, still vibrant, still holding their shape while other flowers have long since surrendered to entropy. You can actually watch other flowers in the arrangement wilt and fade while the zinnias maintain their structural integrity with this almost willful stubbornness.

There's something profoundly American about them, these flowers that Thomas Jefferson himself grew at Monticello. They're survivors, adaptable to drought conditions, resistant to most diseases, blooming from midsummer until frost kills them. The zinnia doesn't need coddling or special conditions. It's not pretentious. It's the opposite of those hothouse orchids that demand perfect humidity and filtered light. The zinnia is workmanlike, showing up day after day with its bold colors and sturdy stems.

And the variety ... you can get zinnias as small as a quarter or as large as a dessert plate. You can get them in every color except true blue (a limitation they share with most flowers, to be fair). They mix well with everything: dahlias, black-eyed Susans, daisies, sunflowers, cosmos. They're the friendly extroverts of the flower world, getting along with everyone while still maintaining their distinct personality. In an arrangement, they provide both structure and whimsy, both foundation and flourish. The zinnia is both reliable and surprising, a paradox that blooms.

Who knows, perhaps you'll be intrigued enough to come visit soon, partake in some of the fun activities Charleston has to offer and deliver flowers to your loved one in person!

To walk through Charleston is to feel the weight of centuries in the slant of sunlight through live oaks, the way shadows pool beneath porches like spilled ink, the way the air hangs thick with salt and the faint perfume of jasmine. The city hums. It does not shout. Its pulse is in the creak of palmetto fronds, the click of heels on cobblestone, the murmur of a vendor on East Bay Street arranging sweetgrass baskets with the care of a poet arranging syllables. History here is not a relic. It breathes. It leans against the iron gates of Rainbow Row, where pastel facades glow like a box of chalk left in the rain, and lingers in the hushed courtyards where fountains trickle as if apologizing for the heat.

Charleston resists the American urge to flatten itself into a postcard. It is a place where contradictions coil and bloom. The same harbor that once hosted schooners laden with cotton, their sails fat with the winds of empire, now watches as shrimp boats bob beside kayaks piloted by sunburned children. The Battery’s mansions stand as ever, their columns white as piano keys, but their gardens now shelter lemonade stands where kids sell mint sprigs for a quarter. The city wears its history not as a shackle but as a tapestry, frayed at the edges, patched with new threads.

You notice this in the details: the way a tour guide’s voice softens when mentioning the enslaved artisans who built the very walls tourists gawk at, the way Gullah grandmothers weave stories into their baskets, each coil a cipher for survival. The food, too, is a dialect. At cramped corner stalls, old men fry okra into golden commas. Women in floral aprons pile collard greens onto cornbread, the greens glistening with the sweat of patience. Every meal feels like a communion, a reminder that sustenance here is both craft and sacrament.

The light is different. It slants. It lingers. By afternoon, it turns the Ashley River into a sheet of hammered bronze, and by dusk, it gilds the marsh grass until the whole landscape seems dipped in honey. Even the shadows have texture. They spill across King Street’s galleries, where shopkeepers wave as you pass, not because they want your wallet but because waving is what one does. The pace insists you slow down. Hurrying feels vulgar. A fisherman on the Cooper River shrugs when asked about the day’s catch. “Tide’s out,” he says, as if this explains everything.

There’s a rhythm to the chaos of the Market, where artisans hawk silver jewelry shaped like seahorses and watercolorists trap the skyline in brushstrokes. A teenager plays “Summertime” on a dented saxophone, the notes bending in the humidity. Two blocks east, the silence of the Unitarian churchyard swallows the noise whole. Tombstones tilt like bad teeth, moss dripping from oak limbs above. The dead here have names like “Bartholomew” and “Seraphina,” and you wonder if the soil itself is gentler, kinder, to let the inscriptions stay so sharp.

What binds it all is water. The rivers embrace the city, hold it close. At dawn, the harbor mirrors the sky so perfectly it’s hard to tell where the shrimpers end and clouds begin. By noon, the sailboats tacking past Fort Sumter seem to stitch the horizon together. You can’t escape the sense of being cradled by something vast and patient. The marshes sigh with the inevitability of tides, their creeks threading the land like veins. Even the air tastes of surrender, to the heat, to the past, to the simple fact that some places refuse to be anything but themselves.

Charleston endures. It persists. It invites you to sit on a piazza as dusk settles, to watch fireflies blink above the cobblestones, and to understand, for a moment, that beauty isn’t a thing to consume but a verb. A practice. The city whispers this in the rustle of palmetto leaves, in the laughter spilling from a gallery porch, in the way the bridge’s lights flicker on at twilight, each bulb a tiny defiance against the coming dark.
