Lengthen the Life of Your Arrangement
A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:
Water
Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.
Food
If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!
Temperature
Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.
NB. Images show the standard bouquet. Deluxe bouquet has more flowers.
Fifty White Tulips
Tulips are Arena Flowers' favourite flowers. White is a colour associated with simplicity and purity. Since tulips are large, showy, and usually solitary, flowers, a “tulip’ has come to mean ‘a showy person’. ‘Tulipomania’ is the craze for tulip growing, originating in the Netherlands in the 17th century. The tulip stands for perfect love and each shade expresses some emotion of life. White tulips are most commonly used to express sympathy and condolences, though their purity can make them a very elegant gift.
Please note that, depending on the season, this bouquet might be sent out as a hand-tie and not a gift wrap. This is because, at certain times of the year, the stems of the tulips are not sufficiently long to permit the gift wrap style of bouquet.
