Spring Flower Tips

Tip: Remember the air conditioning
When outdoor temperatures rise, air conditioning is vital if cut flowers are to be kept fresh longer. However, you must remember that air in a climate controlled room is much drier. You could almost say that water is siphoned out of vases and oasis foam and the flowers also evaporate off more water. It is therefore crucial to ensure that flower stems are slant cut and have constant access to sufficient water.

New life – Narcissus tazetta ‘Avalanche’  is arranged in an eggshell and surrounded by Anemone coronaria ‘Marianne White’ and Fritillaria hermonis ssp. Amana.

Eternal fidelity – Parallel tied Zantedeschia ‘Crystal Blush’ (16284) and Hippeastrum Galaxy Grp ‘Mont Blanc’ wrapped with white ribbon at the base and finished with pearls.

Pink cloud – Parallel arranged Hyacinthus orientalis ‘China Pink’, Tulipa Double Late Grp double ‘Upstar’, Anemone coronaria Marianne Orchid and large flowered Cymbidium ‘White Bounty’ are used to create a pink pillow.
