Buy Flowers

When you buy flowers, freshness is everything. To make sure that you are buying the freshest flowers with the finest fragrance, you should buy flowers that are seasonal. Different flowers come into season at different times of the year and it is important to know which flowers are in bloom right now.

Springtime sees the rose, the lilac, the tulip and the daffodil come into season. Summertime brings the lily, the daisy, the sunflower and the violet to life. Fall gives us the chrysanthemum, the zinnia, the dahlia and the Cosmo. In wintertime, only certain flowers are still naturally in bloom. These are the forsythia, the rose and the tulip.

When you buy flowers that are in season, it is great if you know how to extend their life. You should take your flowers out of their vase every couple of days and trim the stems. Once you have done this, you should replace the water with fresh, filtered warm water.
