Flower Care

​Fresh flowers live only a few days - depending on the type it may be 3 - 5 days but there are others that may look good for up to 2 weeks.
​
However, to maximize their life follow these guidelines:
1.  Keep the water clean, i.e. replace when it looks cloudy or dirty or smells.
​2. When replacing the water, or anytime a stem is taken out of water it needs to be recut directly before it's put back into water.
​3. Flowers are often delivered in wet foam.  Flowers depend on that water and the arrangement can be re-wetted by watering it like a potted plant.
​4. Don't put your fresh flower arrangement next to a bowl of fresh fruit as some fruit emits ethylene which makes some flowers age faster.
​5. Since not each flower in the arrangement lasts as long as the next one, take out those that look tired or wilted and the remaining arrangement will look fresh again.

Small, medium, large...

​​It's sometimes hard to tell on a picture, but if you know the flowers in an arrangement you can often estimate the size.. If not, here is an attempt at sizing and pricing. 
​A small arrangement is about 6 - 10 inches in height and in a small glass bubble or similar vase.  Depending on the flowers used it will start at about $35 plus tax and delivery. 
​Medium arrangements are about 12-15 inches in height and average about $55 plus tax and delivery - again depending on the flowers that make up the bouquet.
​Larger size or more expensive flowers start at 18-24 inches in height and usually cost upward of $75 plus tax and delivery.

​These prices are estimates only.  They vary with which flowers are available during a season, type and florists' costs - we pay more at  times and therefore have to ask more.  Discounts may be applied for subscribers, loyalty programs and charitable organizations.
