It was 1936, with an operating budget of $6.00, which Adelaide Phillips used to open a small flower stand on a lot she purchased along highway 101 in Encinitas, California. Flowers by Adelaide was born and it was a single person operation until her son, Harry Jr., built a structure that was to become her first full service flower shop in 1945. It was Adelaide's love of flowers and a strong will to succeed in business that blossomed into a passion that would cover three generations.

After working as a partner with Adelaide for over three decades, Harry did a buyout in 1974 and became sole owner. Adelaide and Harry shared the same passion for the industry and business and he was determined to grow Adelaide's to be the premier floral shop in Southern California.

Adelaide started a legacy back in 1936, and her son Harry took that legacy, built a strong team of people which along with his daughter Gina, turned Adelaide's in to what it is today. Three generations of delivering emotions of the heart.

Occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to create your bouquet due to the availability of certain flowers in various parts of the country. Care is taken to maintain the style, theme and color scheme of the arrangement, using flowers of equal value. Additionally, the substitution of certain keepsake items may be necessary due to increased demand, especially during major holidays. In single-flower arrangements, such as an all rose bouquet, or orchids, we will make every attempt to match the flower type, but may substitute with another color.
