Mr. Oliphant originally came to Grafe Studio Floral Artist's shop the Easter after his wife's death with a rather strange request...some gardenia blooms wired for attaching to his gardenia bush...his wife's favorite. We looked forward to this sentimental gentleman's annual visit and were concerned when he hadn't been in touch by the Monday before Easter....but Tuesday morning.... there he was with his order for family members corsages,,,and the loose gardenias. Though he couldnt' even get out of the car, he was thinking about his family. You are all so fortunate to have had such a loving relative...and we were all inspired by his gentle, caring ways! Easter Bunny, you will be missed! Betsy Grafe
