How To Help Your Easter Lily Last Longer

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 10:51:00 +0000

Easter lilies remain the most popular gift flower during the Easter and Passover season. White lilies have symbolized purity and spiritual renewal since before Biblical times and receiving one as a gift is a delightful way to celebrate the arrival of spring.

If you receive an Easter Lily as a gift you can enjoy your flowers over a much longer period with just a little bit of special care. Giving your Easter lily the correct amount of light water and providing the proper temperature will help your gift plant produce beautiful flowers over at least two weeks and possibly longer if it arrives with many young unopened buds.

How To Care For Your Easter Lily

Easter lilies like bright but indirect sunlight and cool temperatures so don't locate your plant in hot,direct sunlight or near heat vents. 60-65 degrees F is the ideal daytime temperature and the plants can take even cooler nighttime temperatures.

Moving your plant to an unheated room at night will make the blooms last longer and will keep the plants from getting stressed.

Lily bulbs and plants are poisonous so keep them away from children and pets.

Make sure to remove the yellow anthers from the center of the flowers. This is very important because those anthers will shed large amounts of sticky yellow pollen which will make the flowers wilt sooner. The thick pollen could also stain fabrics and furniture so don't forget this step.

Lilies prefer moist but not wet soil so under watering or over watering can be harmful. Check the soil every day and water whenever the soil feels dry.

Remove the plastic pot from its wrapping or basket when you water and let the water drain from the pot so the bulb will never be left in standing water. After the water has from the pot drained you can replace the cover.

When each Easter lily flower begins to wilt remove to make room for the new blossoms. If you skip this step you may find that some of the unopened buds will not mature because the plant will try to put its energy into making seed.

If you'd like to move your Easter lily to the garden when it has finished blooming removing the spent flowers will also help the bulb put its energy into making bulblets which will eventually grow into blooming lily plants.

Most people view Easter lilies as a "throwaway plant" believing that forced bulbs won't bloom again. But if you've followed the directions here you should be able to move it to the garden with no problems.

Easter Lily Plants Don't Have To Be Discarded When The Season Is Over

Tips To Keep Your Valentine Rose Bouquet Affordable

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:08:00 +0000

A Valentine Rose bouquet is still the most popular gift to give a loved one on this special holiday. Red roses will probably always be the most popular choice but there are more affordable Valentine rose bouquet choices for people who want to give beautiful roses that don't break the bank.

Get Your Valentine Rose Bouquet In A Color Other Than Red

Red roses are in such demand for Valentine's Day that they will always cost more than roses of other colors. Yellow,pink,or white rose arrangements are usually priced lower than red roses. Mixed color arrangements,with or without red roses,are also usually a more affordable choice than an all-red arrangement.

12 Long Stem White Roses

Choose Short Stemmed Or Spray Roses For Valentine Rose Savings

Long stemmed red roses may be the Valentine standard but there are other types of roses available that are just as lovely. Short stemmed roses and spray roses are more affordable choices if you want to save a little money on Valentine roses.

Short stemmed roses have a fuller look than long stemmed roses and look beautiful in a round or square vase. Again,the savings can be substantial.

Most roses that are grown for the floral trade have one bloom per stem. Growers cut back stems of blooming roses to one bud so a larger flower will be produced. The effect can be dramatic but the extra care required to produce single long stemmed roses results in higher prices.

Spray roses are roses that haven't been pruned to one bud so each stem is allowed to produce several flowers. A bouquet of 12 spray roses could actually contain dozens of blooms. The flowers will be smaller but the full,lush look of spray roses resembles a bouquet your sweetheart might cut from her own garden.

Assorted Blooms of Spray Roses

Find A Valentine Rose Bouquet That Has The Vase Included In The Price

It's always a good idea to include a vase in your Valentine flower order,especially if you aren't sure whether the recipient has one. But adding a vase can add up to $20 to the price of a flower arrangement. Luckily most florists offer flower arrangements that include a vase for no extra charge. This can result in a substantial savings on a Valentine rose bouquet.

Why Are Valentine Roses So Expensive?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:39:00 +0000

It's certainly not a myth that valentine roses cost more than those sold at other times of the year. Whether you order roses online or from a local florist the prices will be higher on Valentine"s Day. Some people may even be convinced that the suddenly high price of Valentine roses is simply a conspiracy to get people to part with more of their hard earned money in the name of love.

So are there legitimate reasons why roses cost more on Valentine's Day? The real truth of the matter is that that the consumer is not the only one who pays more for Valentine roses. Since Valentine's Day falls in the middle of the winter in the Northern Hemisphere most roses are either grown in greenhouses or shipped in from South American countries like Ecuador and Colombia. So of course the retailer will also be paying significantly more than usual.

Valentine's flowers starting at just $29.99 - Visit FromYouFlowers.com!

How Valentine Roses Get To The Recipient

Roses are carefully grown so they will be blooming in time for Valentine's Day. When the roses are still in the bud phase they are ready to be harvested and shipped. More workers must be hired by the grower to prepare the them and send them all over the world. The roses are flown in from South America where they are then shipped either to distribution centers,directly to the consumer, or to local florists for arranging and delivery to the recipient. All of this takes place in climate controlled conditions so the roses won't be subject to freezing or overheating.

Since Valentine's Day is the busiest holiday in the year for sending roses florists have to hire extra workers to prepare,arrange,or deliver the roses and to take telephone or internet orders. Because of the volume of business more people will probably be needed during the week or two before Valentine's Day to take telephone and internet orders and to provide customer service. Even local grocery stores may need more workers to fill the demand for Valentine roses.

When you order your Valentine roses online you usually have the choice of having the flowers packaged in a box and and sent to the recipient via UPS or FedEx or having a local florist arrange and deliver them. Either delivery method is subject to charges in addition to the price of the flowers.

To save money when ordering roses online you can take advantage of current offers like 1800Flowers free shipping or Save up to 15% - 30% + Get FREE Express Delivery at Honest Florist. When buying flowers from a local florist you can save a delivery charge by picking your Valentine roses up yourself and delivering them in person.

Happy Poinsettia Day!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 13:48:00 +0000

December 12 is National Poinsettia Day. The poinsettia, a native of Central America and Mexico was named for Joel Roberts Poinsett,the first U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. Poinsett discovered the plants during a Christmas trip to Taxco, Mexico in 1828.

Ambassador Poinsett,a physician and botanist,was so charmed by the plant,known as Flores de Noche Buena(Flowers of The Holy Night), that he had several of them sent back to his home in South Carolina so he could grow them in his own greenhouses. For several years afterward he gave them to friends as Christmas presents.

By 1836 the plant had become a very popular Christmas plant in the United States and became known as the Poinsettia in his honor.

In 1851 Congress declared that December 12,the day of Poinsett's death, would be celebrated as Poinsettia Day in remembrance of the man who introduced this lovely plant to the American people.

Celebrate November With Chrysanthemum Flowers

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:28:00 +0000

Chrysanthemum flowers,affectionately known as mums, are the birth flower for the month of November. Mums are on display almost everywhere during the autumn months and can be seen in gardens,as blooming potted plants and in cut flower arrangements.And of course in the United States almost everyone wants to have Chrysanthemums on hand for their Thanksgiving celebrations.

Mums are so common that we often take them for granted but the truth is that this flower has been grown and valued by humans since centuries before the birth of Christ. Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as early as 1500 B.C. and were first used as a food and medicinal herb.

Chrysanthemum flowers and sprouts were (and still are) eaten raw in salads and the roots were boiled and drunk as a beverage. The Chinese were so enamored with the plant that they named a city Chu-Hsien (Chrysanthemum City) in its honor.

All mum flowers were originally the familiar single yellow daisy and it wasn't until the Japanese started growing them around the 8th century A.D. that more ornamental flowers were developed. The chrysanthemum remains Japan's most popular flower and is used in family crests and in the seal of the Emperor. The Imperial Order of the Chrysanthemum is Japan's highest Order of Chivalry. Japan also celebrates the annual National Chrysanthemum Day,also known as the Festival of Happiness.

In North America Chrysanthemum flowers are also regarded as flowers of happiness and are grown in gardens, cut for bouquets and worn as corsages for autumn sporting events. Mums are the most popular container plant in the U.S. and more of them are grown commercially than any other flowering plant.

In many European countries particularly Germany,Belgium,and Austria,mums are seen as the flower of death and are only used in funerals or as memorial flowers in cemeteries.People in these countries probably wouldn't enjoy receiving a bouquet of chrysanthemum flowers so be aware of this when sending flowers internationally.

Chrysanthemum flowers were originally all yellow but today they can be found in many colors including orange,red,white,pink,and shades of purple. Many forms of the flower are available from single daisies to elegant spider mums to the giant football mums favored for corsages. Yellow,orange and burnished red mums are some of the most popular colors and would be perfect to give to someone whose birthday is in November.

Fresh cut chrysanthemum flower arrangementsare a great value because they tend to last much longer than most other cut flowers. When arranging mums for a bouquet remember to remove any leaves that would fall below the waterline of the container. Be aware that the lacy leaves probably won't last as long as the flowers themselves and will need to be removed when they start turning yellow and become droopy. Cutting the stems of chrysanthemum flowers and changing the water every two-three days can help your bouquet last for up to twelve days.

Somethin' Pumpkin Bouquet

This arrangement of chrysanthemum flowers in beautiful autumn colors delivered in a reusable ceramic pumpkin container would make the perfect November birthday gift. Same day delivery is available and balloons and treats can be added to your order at checkout

Sunflower Bouquets Are The Perfect Summer Gift

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:52:00 +0000

Fresh sunflower bouquets lift the spirits like no other flower can. With their bright,golden color sunflowers make the perfect gift for late summer and autumn occasions. Classic yellow sunflowers have brilliant petals petals that surround the center radiating outward to give an appearance similar to the sun itself.

Although yellow sunflowers are the most familiar they actually come in many warm colors including golden orange to burnished red.

Sunflowers are native to the Americas and have been cultivated since at least 1000 B.C. They were originally grown for their nutritious seeds which provided a valuable source of essential fats.

When Europeans began exploring the New World they inevitably discovered the sunflower and were taken with its beautiful appearance. It wasn't long until plant breeders began to spread sunflowers and their seeds around the world.The seeds of sunflowers continue to be harvested for their seeds and oil but many types are grown strictly for the cut flower industry.

Sunflowers have always been favorite subjects of artists and were especially popular with impressionist painters like Vincent Van Gogh.

Meanings Of Sunflowers

In the language of flowers, most of the meaning applied to sunflowers reflects the flower's physical resemblance to the sun itself.Symbols of radiant warmth, sunflowers are the happiest of flowers, and their meanings include loyalty and longevity. They are unique in their ability to provide energy in the form of nourishment and vibrant beauty, qualities which mirror the sun and the energy provided by its heat and light.

Much mythology centers around the fact that these flowers look so much like the sun and have such an affinity for it. When growing in fields and gardens sunflowers stretch their long stems and follow the movements of the sun. This behavior is known as phototropism.

Sunflower bouquets are often given to symbolize adoration and longevity. This glorious flower is a little symbol of the sun itself so it's not surprising that people enjoy growing them and bringing them into their homes when they are in season.

A gift of a sunflower bouquet will always be a welcomed gift for any occasion from summer birthdays to get well bouquets to hostess gifts. Sending sunflowers will convey feelings of warmth,cheerfulness and joy. Men and women alike appreciate a gift of a fresh cut sunflower bouquet.

Choosing Easter flowers for your for your parties and gatherings can be a daunting task because of the many varieties that are available. Of course flowers from your own garden would be the best alternative but if the weather is still freezing cold in your area that may not be an option.

Here are some spring flowers that you may want to consider for your Easter flower arrangements:

Tulips

Tulips are classic spring flowers that are available in many colors. Whether you prefer bright colors,pastels,or wild patterns you're sure to find tulips that you will be proud to display at your Easter table. Tulip bouquets make lovely centerpieces. Smaller types can be displayed individually in bud vases and placed in several different areas of the home.

Daffodils

Daffodils are the ultimate spring flower. Yellow trumpet daffodils symbolize happiness and hope. Bringing daffodils into your home at Easter will set a festive atmosphere. It doesn't really matter what kind of container you put them in. Daffodils will command attention in any vase and also look great displayed in glass pitchers.

Iris

Dutch iris flowers are vividly colored and an arrangement placed anywhere around your home is sure to please your Easter guests. Deep purple and true blue are two of the most valued colors in Dutch iris flowers. They look stunning in a mixed bouquet with pink or yellow tulips or Daffodils of any color.

White Lilies

White Easter lilies are are a long standing tradition. White lilies symbolize purity and in the Christian tradition they symbolize the resurrection of Jesus. The Easter lily is also known as the Madonna lily and it is native to Asia. It normally blooms in summer but florists give the bulbs special growing conditions to assure that they bloom at Easter. Like most spring flowers they are shipped while in bud to make them last longer. Potted Easter lily bulbs are very popular because they can be planted in the garden after blooming.
