Established in 1980; in the floral industry since 1996 and loving every minute. I recently moved from a flat and landlocked region of the Midwest to the glorious beauty of Oregon! I'm convinced I won't need a vacation for at least 15 years as my life now is very vacation-esq. I'm all outdoors in my spare time...hiking, camping, or lazing by a river. Oh & eating too! the restaruants here are out of control in the best way possible! My favorite flower... peonies! No wait it's Lilac... but no, Ranunculus. i love them all!!

My name is Rori. I've been here at Frank Adams for a year to the day almost. I am a true oregonian because I love roses so I must be in the City of Roses for a reason! They are my favorite, I love every color every shape every style! I also love protea's they give this little shop of horrors vibe! As far as hobbies I'll try anything twice! I love live concerts, plays, bike riding, walking, photography, painting, drawing, poetry, and playing games like taboo! That's my all time favorite if you wanna play let me know!

I started at Frank Adams August of 2014 as the cashier. I really love the customer interaction of that position. I met many wonderful folks. I left for greener grass and found out that the grass is not greener. I returned to Frank Adams as our supply buyers assistant. What do I love about this job? Just about everything. There are challenges and successes every day. I still get to work closely with our wonderful customers. And who does not want to work around pretty things and amazing people.

My favorite flower…….. has to be Sweet Peas, the scent and delicacy always make me smile. They remind me of my grandparents, they grew them every year and would always send me home with a bunch.

I’m a recent transplant to Portland and fortunate enough to have become a part of the Frank Adams Family. I started as a flower processor and have advanced my way to lead cashier. A position I adore. My coworkers are so caring and took me in with open arms; the customers are amazing as well! I am a mother of two awesome children and I am excited to be living in and exploring all the PNW has to offer. In my free time I enjoy reading and hanging out with my family.

With many years spent pushing posies’, I can definitely say I know my way around a cooler. However I am exposed to new varieties and learning all the time. I have an eye for color and style coordination so my peers have dubbed me the wedding/event expert. That suites me fine because I enjoy compiling specific flower theme’s and palate’s for orders. When I’m not frolicking in petals you can find me camping, kayaking & gardening with my honey and being a mom to my cats. My favorite flower? Starting in the A’s Anemone…

With over 20 years of floral and event planning experience, I am always creating; a floral arrangement, a tableau, an experience. New to the Frank Adams family, I now have the opportunity to learn the ‘other side’ of the industry. I have found it to be very interesting. Non-working hours are spent letterboxing, hiking, and reading. My greatest joy is traveling – anywhere and everywhere. Favorite Flower? Who doesn’t love Tulips!

Over the 40+ years in the wholesale florist business I have seen lots of changes. The Portland Flower Market is a unique place to work and shop. I enjoy golfing, fishing and all sporting events, especially those Cowboys!   It seems the flowers have been a part of my whole life and I think my favorite is King Protea, because it's good to be a king!

Favorite Flower: Carnation. I’ve been working in the flower industry since 2004. Mostly delivering flowers all over Oregon & Washington but also helping out on the ground floor. I love connecting with people and creating relationships with co-workers and customers. Always looking for an opportunity to help out. On my weekends I hike, lift weights, snowboard and enjoy time with friends & family. Find me and you’ll find a hug!

I am a flower child in every way. You’ll find me with flowers in my hair, shoes and just about anywhere I can stick one. Honestly my spirit animal is a wild flower so working in this business really jives my soul. It’s hard to choose just one favorite flower, I swear it changes daily, whichever catches my eye in the moment. I’m a sucker for tropicals though, especially king protea because they just warm my heart. Otherwise, lavender is my girl. She smells delightful, calms the energy around her and has so many delightful healing properties. I’m lucky to be able to work with flowers from growing and designing with them to creating remedies from them. If I’m not at work I’m barefoot in the grass, got dirt under my nails and blowing where the wind takes me.

Greetings! My name is Rehan and I am a flower enthusiast. I recently joined the Frank Adams community and I am charmed to be working with such a quality group of people. When I am not trimming flowers I can be found reading, kayaking or adventuring somewhere outdoors. My favorite flower is a tie between the peony and ranunculus.

Hi I’m Simone ! I’ve always loved flowers and being around them. I used to accompany my mom to the floral shop she used to work at back when I was a little kid. She would always let me take some of the flowers she didn’t use, so I could make my own little arrangements. I love going to lavender festivals, the wooden shoe tulip festival, pretty much any flower festival! I’m happiest when I’m around flowers! If I could pick a favorite flower, it would be sunflowers.

Thirty one years in the floral business must mean I love all things floral. My husband and I started the largest outdoor cut flower operation, Accent Gardens, in Boulder Colorado. From there we expanded into selling to five wholesale markets, farmers markets, and wedding and floral designing. After a short time away from the flower industry and raising two amazing children, I am now the founder and co-owner of Pacific Garland. Frank Adams has allowed me to meet customers and introduce premium garland and wreaths. Tuberose has my heart.

Well hello! My name is Darren. Born and raised in the sweltering heat of Southern Arizona  (GO WILDCATS) I found myself craving somewhere new. So picked up and moved to Portland almost 4 years ago and simply love it! I love the outdoors, hiking, camping, mountain biking, and kayaking. My favorite flower would have to be a saguaro cactus blossom. Just still part of the Arizonian in me, that and the craving for real Mexican food any suggestions…

Hola!  My name is Jorge  I love to travel, dance, and enjoy life every day!  You can often find me in the warehouse cutting flowers and cracking jokes with my coworkers.  I was born in southern Mexico where a great amount of my family still lives.  The beaches there are the best in the world in my opinion.  When I am not at Frank Adams, I also work as a Quinceanera dance teacher, as well salsa, mambo, meringue, and other dances as well!  I think my favorite flower is orchids
