Flowersandcents.com presents top 100:

The top 100 Floral People and Companies

in the America’s floral business.

Back in 2014 I published a list of the top floral names in the America’s.

I present my list for 2019.

These names are based solely on my knowledge of the business. My criteria was that they be alive, active in the business, and make a difference. The order in which they appear does not necessarily reflect the size of the company but how I view their importance in the industry. I did reach out to a few industry friends to help me assemble this list so I would not miss anyone outside of my world.

As the list took shape it became clear that this could easily become a popularity contest and that is what we attempted to avoid. The list needed to be longer since there are other names that belong here but we stopped at 100. Hope you like it .
