To Leo, with love

To make its West Coast star feel more comfortable on the East Coast, Warner Bros. Pictures called Georgetown shop Ultra Violet and asked it to send Leo flowers and a bottle of red wine (the latter was acquired at Potomac Wine & Spirits on M Street). And, since DiCaprio has become somewhat of a poster child for environmental advocacy, it’s no surprise that Ultra Violet’s lush bouquet was totally green: green hydrangeas, green roses and green orchids.

When Ultra owner Robin Sutliff went to deliver the flowers at the Ritz on Friday, she was told by a hotel employee that — surprise, surprise — DiCaprio had already received plenty of bouquets of flowers at the hotel.

But consider yourself warned, Leo Lovers: Don’t think that an impressive bouquet gets you access to Leo’s suite. Sutliff told Yeas & Nays that she could only drop them off at the hotel’s lobby. “I’d love to do door to door, but I don’t think that’s going to happen,” she quipped.

On Monday, Leo and co-star Russell Crowe filmed at the GE Building in Gaithersburg.
