ORGANIC, LOCALLY GROWN FLOWERS Flower Child If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy an organic instead of conventionally grown bouquet for their moms this month, we'll keep the weight of 74 hippies in pesticide-laden flowers off our land. Wanna give Mom something she'll be psyched(elic) about? Larkspur's got the buds. Owner Beth Barnett grows 53 kinds of organic bloomers on her MI farm - fragrant peonies (May), allergy-tame pink and white "candy cane" zinnias (June), and pumpkin orange "torch" sunflowers (August). Also: cheap vintage vases, locally made candles, and recycled-glass hummingbird feeders. It'll deliver locally or you can take CTA to the Damen Blue Line stop - it's not too far out. Purchasing local, organic blooms keeps toxic pesticides off our soil. We said "purple," and skipped away with a purty, ribbon-tied bouquet of peonies for $15. Larkspur, 2123 N. Damen Ave. (773-489-2898). Small bouquet, $15. Map It >> Mention this tip, and get 15% off on any flower arrangement through May 15.
