Meet “CELOSIA” aka Cockscomb aka Brain Flower!

The name Celosia is derived from the Greek word “Kelos” meaning “burned.” It’s categorized into 3 main types, plumed, crest, and spike. Plumed Celosia has feathery, upright blossoms, Crest Celosia resembles a roosters tail (pictured), and Spike Celosia has long pointed flower head.

Celosia is native to Asia and Africa, and is part of the Amaranth family. They’re typically available during the summer, fall and spring season.

Available on the Tampa & Sarasota trucks this week! 🧠 🌸 findposies.com for our complete schedule also 🔗 in bio.

We spent our afternoon at a beautifully renovated hotel in St. Petersburg creating the sweetest check in gift - gorgeous flowers arranged in a pretty vase!

@skybeach.stpete is celebrating its grand opening all weekend long. They gifted guests by having them select their own pretty flowers as we assisted in arranging in the cutest vase to enjoy in their rooms during their stay. They also loved seeing our sweet lil truck filled to the brim with all the pretty’s!

Here’s to a long & prosperous future #skybeachhotelandmarina - the property is beautiful & your staff was so kind, we can’t wait to come back. #gratefull #staycation

YOU! 😘

Day in & day out we’re reminded how special YOU are! Perfect example…

This past Friday @hydeparkvillage a visitor from St. Louis asked to purchase an entire bucket of Roses🌹which he intended to gift to strangers. Another customer over heard his plan & secretly gave us cash to apply towards his act of kindness.

We individually wrapped the pretty flowers with care. The moment he left we stood in awe & watched as he gifted an elderly woman who smiled at the unexpected flower, next a young couple sitting on a bench…he continued on, happily gifting the flowers as he walked about the village. 🥰

This event literally happened in 5 minutes and left us in tears. See our fearless leader was having a day, it was her birthday & was the first one in her many years on this planet without her big sister. 😢

To add to the moment, the daughter of the mom who contributed the cash had written a book titled “Magic Moments” - “A scavenger hunt for beauty all around you. Notice what’s already there and create your own magic.” Wow! @vibrantbadass , @brigidkatla did that really happen? We’re still speechless over here, please give your mom a big hug from us, what a moment that was & thank you for being a part of it! Stephanie’s big sister was with her the entire day.

To our visitor from St Louis, you did more than gift flowers to strangers, just so you know! 💕🌸🛻

Sneak Peek 👀 behind the scene of one our trucks transformation process!

This is “Blossom” truck #6, a 1964 split window single cab by VW. First thing, fix all her imperfections, make sure no rust then sand and paint in our classic “Posies Blue” - she’s such a cutie! 🥰

It’s incredible what goes into restoring these classic cars. The work thats done is such a work of art and we love 💕 how much care everyone takes for an amazing end result. Thank you @retroautomasters for your mad talent, we can’t thank you enough!
