| When you decide to purchase some form of floral arrangement from your local florist Ormond or from an online retail florist website you may have some concerns just how long these blooms will last. Generally cut flowers are delivered fresh and are ready for the blooms to open after they are delivered to you. They may only be a day old or so before you receive them. Depending where you live in the world there are wholesale flower markets in just about every major city in the world. Fresh tulips and other out of season flowers are flown to various European cities for delivery to local florist shops or online florist retailers. Since the 1950s one of the largest cut flower markets is the Netherlands. Buyers from all over the world attend the cut flower auctions to purchase fresh flowers to sell to the public. Floral arrangements or bouquets from florist Ormond will brighten up any desk or bedside table. They can grace any dining room table with ease. The flowers can in combined to make up just about any color combination. They can be a bouquet which requires that they be put in a vase upon arrival or they may arrive in a container like a lined basket or ceramic bowl. If there is floral foam in the bottom of the container make sure it is thoroughly wet. To keep cut flowers fresh most flowers should have the stems cut underwater every other day. Cutting them underwater allows the cut stems to absorb water instead of air which prolongs their life. Also if you use that floral packet from florist Ormond it can keep the flowers staying fresh longer. But if the water turns off colored or murky looking make sure you change it out with fresh water. Some cut flowers don’t require stem cutting just additional fresh water. Generally cut flowers will last from 4 to 8 days if treated with care. Do not place them near a heat register or near the stove or on top of an electrical appliance that generates heat as this will dry them out faster. There are many myths about keeping cut flowers longer such as adding a copper penny to the water. However penny copper is not soluble in water so it does nothing to prolong the live of the cut flowers. Also don’t smash wooden stems on flowers as this causes more bacteria growth in the stems. Bacteria growth can clog the stems and not allow fresh water to go up to the flowers. Adding vodka or gin to the water as a bactericide is a waste of good liquor. A tiny drop of bleach is better for keeping the water clean. Some people like to clip the pollen nodules off of flowers but this does not make the flowers last any longer. However cutting the pollen nodules will prevent those small piles of pollen from falling on the table or the carpet or even from getting on your clothes. So you can do this.
