Meet The Florist

Lauren Stiles

Lauren is a fourth generation flower lover and garden enthusiast. From nursery owners to Master Gardeners, she was lucky enough to have so many brilliantly green thumbed women in her family to learn from. Lauren opened Late Bloomer on Valentine’s Day 2022 from a storage pod and a refurbished horse trailer turned flower trailer (Honeybee) in her backyard. Her goal was, and still is, to bring unique and funky floral offerings, and consequently great joy, to people’s lives. For a little over a year this was just right, but as her business grew she decided to open her brick and mortar shop in downtown Panama City. Unique and funky has continued to be the cornerstone of the floral experience that she offers to every new friend that walks through her door. On top of being a full service flower shop, Late Bloomer offers ways for people to be creative through her different on site flower bars and classes.

  • "Lauren is amazing!! She listened to what our events were and designed the perfect centerpieces. Even after 5 days they are just as beautiful as when she dropped them off. Service, quality and price are all on point. And the bonus is that you get to work with an amazing artist!! Thank you for taking care of us at The Sapp House."

    -Alicia B.

They were a hit AND have stayed just as amazing as when you dropped them on Monday!! The Historic Sapp House will be using your services again!"
