Prolonging the life of your cut flowers begins the moment they're entrusted to your care. First off, make sure your vase is very clean and filled with fresh, lukewarm water mixed with flower nutrients. Next, strip off all leaves that will be below the water level of the vase and cut 2cm off all stems at a slight angle. Place the flowers in the vase, away from direct sunlight, radiators, draughts and fruit. Over the following days, be sure to remove any faded flowers and top up the water regularly.

The giving of gifts is a millennium old tradition that is still popular today. In the United States, holidays are celebrated throughout the year and many of them involve gift giving. Flowers and plants are popular gifts for holidays such as Valentine`s Day, Mother`s Day, and Christmas as well as birthdays.
Roses, carnations, and lilies are popular flowers to give for these holidays. Beautiful roses and carnations are readily available in a multitude of colors. Many variations of lilies are also available. These are beautiful flowers that can enhance any setting and bring joy to the recipient. Near specific holidays, certain flowers and plants can be found that are not usually found during the rest of the year. For example, red roses are extremely popular around Valentine`s Day, pink carnations seem to appear often around Mother`s Day, and vibrant, often glittered, poinsettias are used to decorate for Christmastime.
Professional local and online florists can provide flower and plant delivery to all areas of the United States. If you desire to personally deliver the gift, you can pick up flowers at local florists and many retailers. Flowers do not need to be gift wrapped, but often when buying flowers for someone, it is also customary to buy a matching vase so that the recipient will have a way to display the flowers. Some flower arrangements may come with a vase or basket that accents the colors.
Giving flowers is a wonderful way to show someone how much you care.
