The U.S. Supreme Court reopened the case of a florist who says she shouldn’t have to provide flowers for same-sex weddings, telling a lower court to reconsider an order that required her to comply with a Washington state anti-discrimination law.

The high court pointed to its weeks-old decision overturning a similar order against a Colorado baker who refused on religious grounds to make cakes for gay weddings. That ruling faulted Colorado officials for hostility toward the baker’s faith.
