Lisianthus is a flower often favored by floral designers like me 🙂 When an elegant flower is needed for an arrangement, lissies are the epitome of a classy, versatile flower. The ruffled petals and elegant buds come in many colors. The delicate-looking blooms are known not only for their beauty but also for their ability to hold up as a cut flower.😌✨

White O’hara garden rose smelling as lovely as ever 🥰🥰😋 I wish I could bottle up this exact scent into a perfume! Garden roses in general are so romantic and soft. 🕊Often a good substitute for the seasonal peony! They are available year round, long vase life, and predictable.

A rich purple frilly skirt of petals surrounds the central pincushion of this Scabiosa. Scabiosa is commonly called the pincushion flower because its round, prominent stamens in the center of the round blossoms look like pins in a pincushion. Scabiosa is one of the longest flowering perennials in any garden! 👩🏻🌾

Say hello to Ranunculus, a delicate springtime flower with multi-layered petals. 🥹 A symbol of admiration and love, it’s also no wonder Ranunculus is such a popular wedding flower. 💒 These vibrant flowers originated from Central Asia and there are over 600 species of Ranunculus 😵

The Pon-Pon series of Italian Ranunculus are characterized by their huge, multi-colored, ruffled blooms and thick and sturdy stems. Although they could be compared to Hydrangeas, these showstoppers last much longer! 😌 As you move towards the centre of the flower, the coloured petals have something of an identity crisis, assuming the form of leaves!! 😝🧡

Tulips are some of the first flowers you see at the grocery store and are often seen as a sign of spring 🌷☀️ It's no mystery why people love the colorful, cup-shape blooms and plant them in their gardens year after year. Tulips are part of the lily family and actually edible 🍽 The petals can be used as an onion substitute or used in the making of wine 🍷 😋

Chrysanthemums are a hardy flower that need no special care. 💪 But even the hardest flowers require some care! 💘To care of these gorgeous blooms, please ensure the stems have been cut, foliage at or below the water line removed, and of course they are stored in cool to room temperature water. 🫶

Did you know Wheat is one of the oldest crops in the world!! 😱🤯 It started being cultivated in the Euphrates Valley in the Middle East almost 10,000 years ago.. Wheat cultivation is even older than the first cities in the world, the Great Pyramid of Giza and the first solar calendar ever created. It has been with us for a very long time 🌾

Did you know Tulips actually continue to grow after they are cut and they do not need cut flower food? 😯🤭 They will grow about an extra inch after they have been cut. ⬆️ They will also bend and twist to grow towards the light even when they are in a vase! If you keep them well watered and away from heat sources like radiators, they should last around seven days.

These gorgeous spray roses are smaller than other modern roses. The main difference is that instead of one flower per stem, spray roses have clusters of flowers per stem or branch. This gives them a wilder, garden-inspired appearance compared to modern long-stem roses 🌹

Hydrangeas are beautiful and sensitive flowers. 😌 They need moist but well drained soil to thrive. Instead of trying to stick to a “rule” for watering hydrangeas, it is better to water so the soil is moist at all times, but not too wet. Each type of hydrangea requires different levels of water. The location of the plant will also determine how much water the plant needs.🌿
