|
|
A great way to save the flowers from your beloved is to use a large clear designer jar of your choosing. Start off with every time you receive flowers. After the beauty has faded, dry them and add into the jar.

|
|
Last December our mother passed away and we received many beautiful fresh flower bouquets. After the service, my sister and I took all the flowers home, remarking how beautiful they were and what a shame they would die.

| Caring For Cut Flowers
|
|
Did you get some cut flowers? Here's a little prep work you can do to make them last longer. Using pruning sheers, make a fresh cut at the bottom of the stem. Do this under running water. Don't use scissors for this, they will crush the stems and make it harder for them them to absorb water.

| Flower Meanings
|
|
By A. Heath

|
Certain types or colors of flowers mean different things, and you
don't want to send the wrong message if you give them as a gift!
Of course, not everyone knows what a particular flower means,
but you can never be too sure!

| Give Flowering Shrubs Instead of Flowers
|
|
I would prefer to get a nice flowering shrub or bush to cut flowers any day. I put them in my little greenhouse until the proper planting time. Then I have beautiful flowers that last for more than a couple days and get thrown away.

| A Rose Bush - For The Person or Couple Who Have Everything
|
|
A nice gift for, say, a 25th or 50th wedding anniversary, is a rose bush from the garden shop. They come in a large variety of names (and colors, of course) that can be chosen to describe almost any relationship. Browse through the rose bushes this coming spring and acquaint yourself with the different names. They range in price from $10 to $45 & up. Mentioning the connection on the greeting card helps explain your choice.

| Sending Flowers Long Distance
|
|
For hospital patients, call the hospital's gift shop. They charge less than a florist and there is no delivery charge. They are happy you are supporting the gift shop and will have them sent up to the patient.
