Preserve Your Easter Bouquet
As beautiful as those flower deliveries look when they arrive on your doorstep, you can bet your money on the fact that they won't stay that way. Eventually they will wither and die. If you want to preserve their beauty and keep them forever, try air-drying them. To air dry fresh flowers follow these steps:
- Arrange them when they look nice—long before they start to brown or wilt.
- Tie a small number of stems together and hang them upside down.
- Remove the leaves and hang the flowers in a dark, dry venilated place that is cool.
- The drying period will take a while so leave the arrangement be for a week or two. Then, check to see if the flowers are crisp.
- When the flowers are dry, store them in boxes or paper bags.
Find a Florist for You
When it comes down to it sometimes seeing is believing. And, if you want to find a good local florist, get out there and look for one. Once you set foot in a flower shop you can get a feel for what they have to offer. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
- Do you like the display arrangements?
- Is there signs of artistic expression in the florist's arrangements?
- Is there consistently nice design and presentation?
- Are there a lot of plants and flowers to choose from?
- Does the menu span from the ordinary rose to exotic tropical foliage that you've never seen before?
If you can answer yes to the majority of these questions then you've probably found a good florist. Overall it's matter of taste—find what YOU like.
