Waldo, er, I mean Lane |
It may come as no surprise that the ever-busy Lane is a hard guy to find. After an exhausting hunt for Lane the other day, one of our team members said he is just like Waldo, the infamous master of elusiveness.
When we finally found Lane (with his new reading glasses) in an office meeting the other day, some of us couldn't get over his considerable likeness to the very same Waldo! This inspired me to attempt to pinpoint where exactly Lane can be spotted these days.
Humboldt County - land of excellent growing conditions
Ok, this one is a give-away. Lane lives in Arcata, CA. Too easy. In Arcata, you might observe Lane strolling through the coolers, hyacinth fields, and tulip greenhouses; cheering loudly at his son's football games; and volunteering at local church and community charity events.

Oxnard, SoCal
Lane can be found at our "other" farm down in SoCal once a week walking the flower fields and warehouses. It's part of the job, but I think he's got other motives. Nothing really beats the joyous feeling one gets from being surrounded by colorful seas of Gerberas found in our Oxnard farm.

Oh Canada
Recently added to Lane's agenda: visiting our "other other" farm about every other week. It probably comes as no surprise that the Dutch-born farmer has an affinity for tulips. You can probably find him monitoring the progress of the tulip growth up in our chilliest farm.

Willow Creek, summer home of Bigfoot
If you're lucky, you might spot Lane taking one of his regular Sunday drives up to our mountain valley farm. He's been sighted strolling through the sunny fields of greens with his lovable mutt Mae Mae, chewing on an apple and snapping pictures of the plant growth.

You name it
The rest of Lane's time is spent at flower auctions in Holland; events supporting the floral industry with SAF in Washington, DC and CCFC in Southern California; and at floral trade shows and conventions held throughout the US and other flower hotspots across the map. If you're really intent on seeing him, check out the trade shows we'll be attending this year and hope for the best: http://www.thesunvalleygroup.com/thesunvalleygroup/News_TradeShows.cfm
Well, now that you know some of the many places Lane might be seen, I wish you good luck finding him!
Lane should be found on Flowersandcents.com where more people can learn about him. As well flowersandcents.com should be one of your industry links (Please)

See what I mean? These are good ideas only if people find and participate in them. Tell Lane to start posting on flowersandcents.com and people will find him. And I am still hoping you will add F&C to your industry links. Sorry to be so pushy but you asked for comments.
