Flowers And A gift

I like it that you can do so many wonderful things with flowers.

Once you understand the basic design rules of flower arranging you can be so creative.

You can really dress up a gift with flowers.

A bottle of wine is made special by adding a spray of flowers.

This would make an ideal gift to present to a hostess having a dinner party.

The bottle has been placed in a cover.

A small foam igloo has been soaked in water and is secured to the top.

The stems of roses, orchids, fern and ivy have been cut to the desired length and inserted into the foam.

Long curving grass has been inserted in the right side.

An arrangement featuring the same flowers is placed at the base.

This design is described briefly - in the Floristry Course you will learn how to create many types of different floral designs with detailed step-by-step instructions.

Have A Happy St Valentines Day

I am sending you warm wishes for a happy St Valentines Day.

What could be more lovely than a large bunch of pink roses.

These roses are wrapped loosely in pink weave wrap.

To show off their beauty these roses would be perfect arranged on their own in a clear glass vase filled three quarters of the way with water.

Always choose a container to suit the size of the arrangement.

For good balance the flowers should stand at least one and a half  times the height of the container but can always go higher.

Men often buy red flowers - but studies have shown many women prefer pink.

St Valentines Day is usually the busiest day for the florist. Red flowers are in short supply at St Valentines Day so the florist should also stock pink flowers so they can offer an alternative choice.

Roses - The Most Loved Flowers in the World

I hope you are enjoying your day.

The weather here today is just perfect and the gardens look wonderful.

Roses are the most loved flowers in the world.

There are thousands of varieties in many shades from the palest to the most vibrant colours.

Roses are named after famous people including Audrey Hepburn, Barbra Streisand, Agatha Christie, John F Kennedy and Paul McCartney.

Queen Elizabeth has had several roses named after her.

It's best to pick roses in the early morning or late evening when there is the most moisture in the air.

Cut the stems on a slant and remove the lower leaves from the stems. Place them in a container filled one third with water in a cool spot for several hours before arranging them.

You can use a commercial preservative or a capful of household bleach to help cut down on bacteria so the roses will last longer. This is called conditioning.

If you buy roses cut the ends of the stems on a slant and condition them in the same way.

In the Floristry Course you will learn tips on how to keep different varieties of flowers fresh for the longest possible time.

I hope everything is going well for you.

I love orchids and lisianthus and despite their fragile appearance they are long lasting flowers.

These white Singapore orchids and lisianthus are arranged in tall containers and look very elegant.

A tall slim base is used.

A flat container with soaked florist foam is attached to the top of the base.

Starting in the centre the orchid stems are cut to the desired length and positioned to fan out to the sides.

The lisianthus stems are cut short are placed around the base.

Long strands of pearls are positioned to hang down. the sides to give a waterfall effect.

Low centrepieces featuring the same type of flowers  are placed along the table

This design is briefly described - in the floristry course each step is fully explained in detail.
