Lois Walters, 29, introduced her daughter, Ffion Keany, to the Royal at Aberaeron, a Welsh seaside resort.

Ffion clutched �the bouquet of sweet peas and intended to give them to the Duchess. However, at the last moment the youngster had a change of heart and desperately held onto them when Camilla stretched out her hand.

The toddler then began to cry as her mother took the flowers from her and presented them to Camilla.�The Duchess was able to resolve the problem though; with a smile she kindly handed back the flowers, telling young Ffion: "This is for you."

Afterwards her mother stated: "I think that we will keep the flower and press it in a book."

The Duchess of Cornwall and the Prince of Wales are currently conducting a summer tour of Wales.

Pollen-free flowers - Perfect for a sufferer of hay feverhttp://www.serenataflowers.com/PollenNation/Pollenfree_flowers_Perfect_for_a_sufferer_of_hay_fever.htm

Flowers undoubtedly possess a huge amount of natural beauty and bring pleasure to the lives of many; however, for those suffering from hay fever they can prove to be an absolute nightmare - resulting in sneezing fits and causing eyes to itch.

Luckily though there are a number of wonderful pollen-free flowers out there - allowing hay fever sufferers to take in their spectacular vibrancy.

Many horticulturists �recommend gladioli, orchids, Agapanthus and irises as great purchases for those suffering from hay fever; this is because they give off a relatively small amount of pollen, which is low enough not to bring on hay fever symptoms.

However, traditional staples of a summer bouquet, such as lilies, should be avoided. Buying bouquets featuring these flowers is only likely to bring on the aforementioned symptoms - which isnt at all nice.

So if youre going to treat a hay fever sufferer to a bouquet this summer, make sure you treat them to one featuring pollen-free flowers.

Lily Allen receives flowers and apology from soldier after controversial tweethttp://www.serenataflowers.com/PollenNation/Lily_Allen_receives_flowers_and_apology_from_soldier_after_controversial_tweet.htm Pop star Lily Allen has received flowers and an apology from a British Army soldier who made an insulting comment about her on micro blogging site, Twitter, according to an article published by Contactmusic.

The Not Fair singer spotted a remark made to her by Harry Wilson, a Scottish sniper, on the site on Tuesday (July 10). The tweet read: "All the best with your new family just seen you bought s**t I mean adopted a child from Africa."

Allen claimed that the message was racially offensive; military officials then launched an investigation into the incident. Many users on the site abused Allen, who then announced plans to take a break from the site.

However, just a few hours after announcing her self-imposed Twitter break, she tweeted: "I have just received some flowers and a hand written apology from Harry Wilson, which I accept. I hope we can all now move on. Thank you."

Spraying fresh flowershttp://www.serenataflowers.com/PollenNation/Spraying_fresh_flowers.htm Many people across the United Kingdom buy flowers in order to bring a spot of much-needed colour to the home. However, it is not uncommon to see these flowers begin to wilt just a couple of days after they were originally purchased.

It is possible to prevent fresh flowers from wilting - at least for a few days - simply by spraying them with hair spray. So with this in mind weve produced a simple guide, detailing how you can go about spraying your flowers to keep them fresher for longer:

Step 1 - Take a few sheets of newspaper and cover the space you intend to work in.

Step 2 - Place the flowers down on the newspaper.

Step 3 - Pick up one flower at a time, then take a can of hair spray and position it 12 inches away from the flower.

Step 4 - Point the hair spray at the flowers leaves and petals and spray - ensuring that you only spray a small amount of hair spray on to each petal.

Step 5 - Put the flower down on the newspaper, then allow to dry.

The strongest smelling flowershttp://www.serenataflowers.com/PollenNation/The_strongest_smelling_flowers.htm Widely considered to be one of lifes most delightful treats, nothing can beat a fresh bouquet of flowers. Vibrant, colourful and rich in natural beauty, most flower varieties smell wonderful.

Here are just a couple of the flowers that give off the strongest scents:

Chrysanthemums: There are many types of chrysanthemums; for example, there are those that feature blooms on every stem and there are those that have spidery blooms, packed with skinny petals.

The smell of these wonderful flowers are earthy and herby - rather than the sweet aromas typically associated with bouquets. As well as exuding an elegance, chrysanthemums can also be used to repel insects.

Casablanca Lilies: Big and extravagant, Casablanca lilies boast long, thin stems featuring as many as five considerably-sized �blooms.

White and pure, these blooms give off a sweet odor which will easily fill a small room. An aroma that is �persistent and lingers, many find it incredibly enchanting.

Australian researchers working on fluorescent flowershttp://www.serenataflowers.com/PollenNation/Australian_researchers_working_on_fluorescent_flowers.htm An Australian research company has begun work on a project to create fluorescent flowers that glow when placed under a UV light, according to an article published by The Courier-Mail.

Bioconst will use the DNA of Californian jellyfish, which will be spliced in with a number of flower varieties, with the aim of creating bouquets that emit a spectacular glow.

The researchers at the firm have previous experience in making flowers glow, having developed a fluorescent substance that can be sprayed on to flowers.

However, the new method - which will utilise the jellyfish DNA - will eradicate the need for a spray - with a glow being emitted once the lights have been turned out.

Vice president of Bioconst, Professor Mark Tester, commented on the companys plans.

He said: "They would look the same, until you turn the light and put them under a UV light. You wouldnt know theres any jellyfish there."

How to spend wisely on wedding flowershttp://www.serenataflowers.com/PollenNation/How_to_spend_wisely_on_wedding_flowers.htm For any bride-to-be, choosing the perfect wedding dress is usually at the top of the priority list.

Then theres the location, the bridesmaid dresses, the photographer�the list can seem never ending.

So here are a few tips to help make choosing your wedding flowers a little easier � since there are thousands to choose from.

First of all, set a budget. Its a good idea to know how much you can spend, before beginning your search for the perfect bloom, as the price of wedding flower arrangements can really vary, depending on how delicate or exotic the flowers are and how many bouquets you want. So its best to set your limit first, and then tailor your search around that, before you fall in love with an arrangement you may not be able to afford.

Secondly, prioritise how you spend your cash. Use more of your budget for your bouquet, as this is the signature bloom of the ceremony. It will be in all your photos and will really help highlight your dress if chosen wisely. After your bouquet, your reception centrepieces should be top of your list.

Celebs celebrate new home with flowershttp://www.serenataflowers.com/PollenNation/Celebs_celebrate_new_home_with_flowers.htm Celebrities and flowers: the ultimate partnership? Actors, singers, painters - stories of lavish spending, backstage rooms full of petals and resplendent gardens are the norm.

Most of us will have heard at least one story of flowery overkill - stars such as Elton John are well-known for lavishly filling their homes with flowers. The singer once confessed to spending around �293,000 on flowers during a 20-month spending spree.

Now supermodel Kate Moss looks to be following in his footsteps, after moving into her new home in Highgate, North London.�Except this time it was not the supermodel herself who was buying the flowers. Beautiful bouquets, along with bottles of champagne, were kindly given to her by friends, who attended Kates house warming party.

The party started at a nearby pub, and then moved on to the house itself � an �8 million four-storey mansion with a wine cellar, handy for storing all those bottles of wine. Now all Kate needs to stock up on is vases.

Why not follow in the footsteps of Kate Moss and her A-list pals, and give flowers as a lovely house-warming gift, next time someone you know moves house.

Their father, TV presenter Jeff Brazier said: "If Jade is looking down from heaven, she would love the way the boys always play when they come to her grave. They feel comforted and liberated when they visit."

International Womens Day celebrated with flowershttp://www.serenataflowers.com/PollenNation/International_Womens_Day_celebrated_with_flowers.htm In case you missed it, March 8 was International Womens Day - created to celebrate womens accomplishments and promote gender equality around the world.

Hardworking mums, caring sisters, loving partners: International Womens Day (IWD) provides a great excuse to say thanks to the ladies in your life. In fact, getting a gift at any time of the year is cause for celebration.

The more politically-minded amongst may prefer to see IWD as a springboard for more change: with women still hitting the glass pay ceiling in employment in civilised Western states.

Whatever your outlook, heres a quick look at different ways International Womens Day is celebrated around the globe - from sending flowers to serious protests - which might inspire your plans for next year:

Give flowers

Flowers are a symbol of International Womens Day, and many countries celebrate by giving flowers as a gift. And now its not just traditional for boyfriends and husbands to send flowers to the women in their lives - but also bosses and colleagues too.

So next International Womens Day show your appreciation for the extraordinary women in your life by sending them flowers.

Take the day off

In some countries, such as Armenia and Kazakhstan, International Womens Day is officially recognised as a public holiday.� But in the UK, we still have to work on International Womens Day. No fair? Maybe next year, we should all book the day off.

Stand on a bridge

Rwandan and Congolese women started a campaign for gender equality called Join Me on the Bridge. The women were demonstrating that peace between the two countries was possible: by standing on the bridge which links Rwanda and the Congo together.

Today, women march on bridges in London, Boston, San Francisco, Toronto and New York on International Womens Day. If youre feeling politically active, get yourself down to a bridge on March 8 next year.

Protest

While in lots of countries, the holiday has introduced with a sentimental status, rather like Mothers Day or Valentines Day, it was originally born out of activism.

IWD was initially founded by Clara Zetkin, a German woman, in 1910.

Lots of women around the world still use March 8 as an opportunity to fight for many different causes, including political freedom, equal pay and working rights. If theres a cause youre passionate about, IWD provides a great opportunity to take part in a peaceful protest with like-minded ladies.
