Flowers symbolize love, hope, and joy. But for Utah-based Micka Perry, they represent much more than that—they bring back fond memories of her late father.

Forty-five-year-old Mrs. Perry was born to parents who owned and managed various flower shops. Growing up and being homeschooled in a close-knit family alongside eight siblings, Mrs. Perry spent her childhood watching and working with her father, Chad Ward Wright, in a flower shop—part of her education encompassed learning the family business.
