Flowers aren't just for girls silly :-)

Thats right, guys love getting flowers too!  Its something different and probably unexpected.  I have yet to send out a delivery of flowers to a guy who didnt like them.  There are lots of ways to personalize floral arrangements by adding elements that your special guy likes.  For example sports themes,  or a gift basket surrounded by flowers,  the possibilities are endless and only limited by imagination and a little creativity.  So don't think twice about sending your special guy flowers.   

Yes summer is finally here and the weather is getting warmer and warmer.  Unfortunately heat can really cause cut flowers to wilt and die rather quickly.  Here are a few tips that will help with caring for your fresh cut flowers and can be used year round.

1.)  Always give your flowers a fresh cut before placing them in your vase or container.
2.)  Do not place flowers in a hot place.
3.)  Do not place flowers in direct sunlight.
4.)  Floral preservatives are best to use in vases as the help keep water clean longer while nurishing flowers.
5.)  Always use unfiltered water as the minerals are a good source of nurishment for cut flowers.
6.)  Last,  give your flowers a fresh cut and fresh water every few days.

Some flowers that are a little heartier when the weather is warmer are carnations, statice, sweet william, and asiatic lilies.  Hopefully these tips will help you get the longest enjoyment out of your cut flowers during these warmer months. 

Oh ya I almost forgot, Ii also like to suggest cleaning vases with warm water and a little bleach,  or warm water and vinegar. 

Happy Summer!
