Since the very beginning of Harkins, the Florist, Bunny Matthews has promoted us magnificently with his totally creative cartoons. Inspiration for the first of the series was “ Mr. Sal,” Leonardo Salvaggio, our neighbor at 1358 Magazine Street. The following year “Miss Jenny,” his sister, Giovanina Salvaggio Link, appeared. Check them out in the Christmas section of the Bunny Matthews Gallery below.

The amazing thing is that now, 25 years later, Bunny continues to come up with new, witty ideas for all the major flower holidays he has done over and over again. We include many of them here on the website for your enjoyment. Click on

You, too, can commission Bunny for cartoons for special occasions. Contact us by phone 504-529-1638 or e-mail and we will put you in touch with him.

Coming soon: A new Bunny Matthews coffee mug! Some of you may remember the D.H. Holmes set of four color mugs from the 1970s or the black and white mug we sold in the 1980s. When the new mug arrives, we will feature it here on the website, to be purchased individually or to be used as a flower container.
