Who is Polly?
Behind every dream is a bit of inspiration and ours came directly from the family tree:
​
Pauline "Polly" Morris.
​
Polly Morris was a beloved member and rock to the Morris family (Cayla’s grandmother) who loved flowers just as much Cayla does (if not more). In fact, every Friday, Philip and Cayla would call the local florist to have flowers delivered to Polly. Every Friday after each delivery, Cayla and Philip would get a call ranting and raving about the flowers she got that week and how they were even prettier than the week’s before. After years of sending flowers, Polly inherited more vases than she could store and had to start sending them back with the florist (hence our Jar Return Program).
Unfortunately, Polly went to be with the Lord in 2022. Upon her passing, Cayla and Philip found a photo album filled with pictures of every bouquet that was ever sent to her. Her gratefulness for not only flowers, but her family, was evermore evident. The Morris family dedicates the flower garden to her as a tribute and honor to the love she shared.
