Summer Lovin'

I love summer days and these arrangements remind me of the summer...

When you get an arrangement, if you are anything like me, you want them to keep forever and a lot of times they die quicker than you'd like.  This, of course, stems from the fact they aren't meant to live out of the ground and unfortunately a week is usually the longest you can expect any arrangement to keep.  Seeing that we are in HOT San Antonio, 90% of the flowers you receive in arrangements are already a week old!  This being that we must ship flowers in from around the country and world that have much more flower friendly climates.  Although they have been through a lot already, these tips can help each flower in your next arrangement be all they can be:

1.  Muchos water!  Be sure your arrangement is saturated at all times.  Spritzing with a water bottle gives them a nice "rain like" feel too.  And use the nutrient packets if given.

2.  Keep out of direct sunlight and in the coolest room of the house.

3.  As some flowers wilt and brown faster than the others, take the old ones out so they don't mold or take water and nutrients from the fresh ones.

4.  If you notice your water changing color, change the water out.

So the next time you find yourself with flowers on your table, try these summer lovin' tips.

Enjoy and give flowers often!
