The Cereal Capitol of the World
Cedar Rapids, Iowa is known as “The Cereal Capitol of the World.” The Quaker Oats cereal meal located there is actually the largest in the world, with over 20 buildings that cover 15 acres of land. The plant’s grain elevators have the capacity to hold nearly 10,000,000 bushels.
But the Quaker manufacturer was not always so grand. Back in 1901, the company was founded when four oat mills merged. They decided to use a Quaker man as their logo to symbolize purity and honesty. The company thrived over the last century to become part of the fourth largest food conglomerate in the world. The cereal makers are responsible for such family favorites as Quaker oatmeal, Life cereal, Quisp, and many other foods.
The Recipe for Success
Like a good cereal, there is a recipe for a successful floral gift. Consider the following when ordering your next flower arrangement:
- Ingredients. It has often been said that a meal can only be as good as the ingredients that one has to work with. That is why when creating a flower arrangement it is important to start with the blooms that are appropriate for the occasion. A tightly closed rose, for example, is best used in a flower arrangement that will be delivered to the recipient’s home. She can watch as the bud transforms into a mature, large flower. On the other hand, a lily that is open to the peak of its beauty is better suited for a bridal bouquet that will be immortalized in all the wedding day photos.
- Presentation. Now that you’ve chosen the right ingredients, it’s time to arrange them into a lovely presentation as chefs do by choosing the portions and setting it out on finest china. Consider where and to whom you will be sending the flowers. A friend in the hospital will appreciate flowers presented in a vase or basket because there is no need for further arranging. Similarly, a date might like a wrapped bouquet of flowers that she can tuck in her purse rather than toting a vase of water until the evening is over.
- Delivery. Are you looking for drive-through-window speediness or calling in an advance reservation at your favorite eatery? Kremp Florist can make flower delivery in Iowa fast and easy.
