Rita Ora to open horticultural shops


Rita Ora is planning to open her own horticultural shops.
The 23-year-old singer – whose recently finished filming ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ and has also had a taste of the fashion industry modelling DKNY – is delighted about her new project and finds it "relaxing" arranging flowers.
She told The Daily Mirror newspaper: "I want to own flower shops, I love flowers. I love organising them and I love flower arranging – it’s so relaxing. You cut, you rip, you zip."
The blonde beauty – who also owns a Kosovan soccer team as part of her company, Ora Multi Services, which her sister Elna runs – enjoys dipping into unusual ventures and insists she’s building an empire so she can provide security for her family.
Rita explained: "It’s things you wouldn’t expect. Like Dr Dre – he recently finished that massive headphone deal. It’s not like it’s impossible, it’s just about being smart and planning it out. Like 50 Cent with his water. It’s about having good advisers. I have great people.
"My sister and family overview the whole thing. It’s a nice little empire – I’m trying to create something so my family can be alright."
Rita – who is dating DJ Calvin Harris – admits she doesn’t know much about soccer but she hopes to promote the sport in Kosovo – where she fled in 1991 before war broke out.
She added: "It’s so funny because the football team I own haven’t started playing yet. We’ve just got independence and they don’t have a proper football team. I don’t know the first thing about football. But the people who are going to work for it do."
