How To Increase The Longevity Of Flowers In A Bouquet

On 03.11.10, In Business & Finance, By Micheal Calimlim

All of us love flowers and we many times give or receive flower bouquets on almost any occasion like a birthday or an anniversary. However, a sad thing about bouquets is that the leaves and flowers wither within a short time frame and then the bouquet looks ugly and crumpled. It might seem to be the perfect idea to purchase artificial flowers to keep them from going bad, but real flowers have something unique that artificial ones can never duplicate.

Everlasting freshness of bouquets can never be attained, yet their withering can be slowed down significantly by some ways. Here are a few suggestions that will help you keep the flowers looking attractive for a longer time.

Firstly, you should discuss with your florist about the life time of the flowers that are in your bouquet, as some flowers such as sunflower, have shorter periods of bloom than flowers like lilies and roses. You have to tell the florist to make the bouquet with flowers that remain in bloom for a longer time span than others. Read more...

Make Your Bouquets Last

On 02.20.10, In Business & Finance, By Nathan Silva

Flowers are really popular to send to loved ones on special occasions such as Valentines Day, Mother’s Day, weddings, and anniversaries. Places such as offices and homes are more lively and comfortable when flowers decorate the place. What makes these gifts of nature so great is that they smell and look amazing. They have bright colours, unique shapes, and they have the most wonderful scents only nature can give.

The only problem is that flowers tend to wilt prematurely if you don’t take care of them right. Not all of us are florists and gardeners, here are some tips that could extend the life of your bouquets:

- If you receive flowers that are in a box, act as quick as possible. Drench them in water, or preferably in floral foam or flower food solution. These can be provided by your florist.

- If the flower food solution turns cloudy, replace it entirely. Same goes for those who are using only water; replacing it daily with fresh water is a must. Read more...

Talk Using The Language Of Flowers

On 01.27.10, In Business & Finance, By Fritz Jackson

Since ancient times, flowers have been used as a profession of kindness. We usually gift them to those we love and care for. We send flowers to let them find out how important they are, to show appreciation, to celebrate occasions, or even to sympathize. What we don’t know is that giving certain types of flowers, and even their colors, actually have meanings of their own.

The Language Of Flowers

During Renaissance & medieval times, flowers were often given moral meanings. This can be widely seen in art where saints are often shown with flowers that represent or symbolize their virtues. Liana DeGirolami Cheney stated in an edition of Sixteenth Century Journal that “some of the Christian symbols for Virginity or Chastity are the white rose, the myrtle, a vessel or vase, the lily, and the unicorn.”

During Victorian times, flowers began to create or add emotion. The language of flowers, often called floriography, began being used as a discreet form of communication. In the 18th century, sending coded messages using flowers became popular. Based on a Turkish secret language of flowers, known as Persian Salaam, a coded bouquet could be sent to profess feelings of attraction or even love. Read more...
