We are Robert and Sonja Anthony. Our family started in the flower business in Flint Michigan in 1929, when our great grandmother Geraldine Anthony opened a small flower stall on a farmers market. We grew into the cities premier florist during the 1930s and 40s when the economy, thanks to the automotive industry, was booming like no other place in the country. In 1941, our grandfather, John Anthony moved to Lansing Michigan to begin his own arm of the flower business. There, he and our grandmother built the finest flower shop in the entire city. They realized great success providing wonderful service and excellent quality product for a number of years. From there, Rick, Roberts father began his own shop in Lansing, eventually expanding it into two shops serving the Lansing market. This is where Rob grew up in the flower business. In about the year 1999 Robert decided that it would be time to move on from outside the family and begin on his own, ironically moving back to the city of Flint. That was in the year 2000. Shortly thereafter, the tragedy of September 11th occurred, completely taking legs out of the American economy. Unfortunately, the State of Michigan economy has never recovered from that. Because of this, in the year 2005, we decided, for our childrens future that it was time to take our venture to where the people were going. Florida was our choice. After much study, we determined that Central Florida, with its rapid expansion, and influx of people was a great place to be. It was at this point in our lives, the end of 2005, that we decided to purchase the Wishing Well Florist. We are proud to boast that we are one of few florists in the nation whose length of time in business expands over 4 generations, with our children coming into the business, it will mark 5 generations of florists. Quite a feat. So, whether you need it delivered in Central Florida, or around the nation or world, we would be so pleased if you allow us to be your favorite choice for flowers.
