Walking along Hayes Street, I happened to come across a very special little flower shop, one unlike any I have ever seen. Upon entering Birch, one immediately notices the striking black interior walls, contrasted by the spectrum of bright colors and fragrances emanating from the beautiful flower arrangements that fill the store. Every corner invites a further look, from its wall of hard to find design and fashion magazines from all over the world, to the selection of unique stationary, vases, and objects d’art that are fit for any gift giving occasion. Owner Torryne Choate has a definite skill for creating strikingly beautiful arrangements of flowers, not to mention a knack for keen visual merchandising. |BirchSF|

Appropriate for nearly any occasion, a bouquet of some freshly cut Springtime flowers or a potted orchid in bloom is a perfect choice for a last minute gift. Wrapped in simple brown butcher paper and tied in place with a thick ribbon, the mix of colors from the bouquet are understated and elegant. If you’re going for something less cliche than roses or tulips, fragrant hyacinthus or something over-sized like sunflowers and hydrangeas are a good bet. |Fiori|
