Join host Walter Sterling as he welcomes Jill Brooke, the creative force behind Flower Power Daily, for a surprisingly explosive episode of botanical history. Discover the fascinating, science-backed reason why the poppy became the military's ultimate flower of remembrance—hint: it involves World War I, bombs, nitrogen, and a little bit of heroic horticulture. Then, step out of the trenches and into Herald Square for the 51st Annual Macy's Flower Show. Jill takes us inside the iconic NYC store where 50,000 flowers and clever birdcage installations are blooming in celebration of America's 250th birthday. Whether you're a history buff, a floral enthusiast, or just getting ready for wedding season, this episode is guaranteed to grow on you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
