Giving the Most Popular Gift in the World: Flowers

While many gifts tend to have cultural connections and meanings, flowers transcend all of those and provide a universal gift loved by people all over the world. The reason that flowers are so popular is that they are a part of nature that everyone can relate to and appreciate in terms of their beauty and connection to the environment. We have a shared connection to nature as a species and that underlies how we feel about flowers when we receive them for a birthday, anniversary, job promotion, new baby, get well or even a “just because.” As florists, we especially appreciate knowing how much flowers can mean to the recipient so that knowledge of enjoyment goes into every flower we select and every arrangement we make for our customers. From working with premium, high-quality flower farmers to hiring award-winning floral designers, everything we do is focused on the idea that flowers bring joy and create smiles

How to Keep Flowers Fresh Longer in a Vase

We all wish flowers would last forever, but unfortunately once we cut them and remove them from their natural environment, they begin to die. Even in nature, flowers eventually die and then are replaced with new blooms. However, if you have flowers in a vase, there are some ways that you can keep them fresh longer so you can enjoy them for the longest time possible. These ideas may seem weird but they have been proven to work alongside regularly re-trimming the stems and adding fresh water: Add ¼ cup of soda to flower water. There is sugar in the soda that helps the blooms last longer. Typically, it is best to use a clear soda.
