Hello All ,

Todays post is going to be about basic flower care .

Fresh flowers bouquets - If you have received a fresh flower bouquet the care is as follows
* Fill a vase with fresh room temperature water and add flower food to the water .
* Unwrap flowers and cut stems on a angle.
* Remove any leave that would go below the water line. ( leaves should never be in the water )
* Arrange flowers in the vase and enjoy .
* Repeat steps every 2nd day.

Roses - If you have received roses their care is as follows
* Fill a vase with fresh room temperature water.
* Unwrap roses and remove leave from the bottom.
* Cut each rose stem on a angle making sure not to squish stem.
* Arrange roses in the vase and enjoy.
* repeat stems every 2nd day and always remove any dead or dieing flower.

A few quick tips .

If you find that your roses are droopy add a asprin to the water
If you find your tulips a little droopy and a penny to the vase .
Never leave flowers in direct sunlight .
