Green Houseplants for Mother's Day

While we always sell a lot of flowering plants for Mom Day, we always like selling green houseplants for Mother's Day too, because they last for years and it seem that mothers just know how to care to for them so well Contact us today, we can even put some fresh cut flowers into the pot for some "pop & sparkle".

Mother's Day Flowers

Mother's Day is approaching! It's such a wonderful day to honor that person that is so important to us- our mom. At the Flower Shoppe we are so pleased to be a part of this day. It's one of the busiest days of the year for florists. Which isn't surprising really as flowers are used so often as tokens of honor. :) We'll have a huge selection of flowers for Mother's Day from spring flowers like Tulips and Daffodils, also we'll have Orchids for some exotic touches. We've noticed a few customers buying their mothers wrist corsages and corsages to pin on their mother's shirts for the day, and oftentimes we use orchids for these as orchids last so long and don't wilt out of water very fast.  Contact us today at our flower shop in Blaine for your Mother's Day Flower order.

My 3 Best Tips For Long Vase Life

Some people swear by adding drops of bleach, a penny, or the little packets of flower food into the water of a vase. All to prolong the life of the blooms. I've tried them all during my 40 years experience as a florist. During that time I've found these 3 to be the best, adding many days and sometimes weeks of life to cut flowers.  1. Sanitize  If using a vase from your cupboard, sanitize it first with bleach or run through a dishwasher. The idea is to kill any bacteria that will plug the flower stems, which will cause water to stop getting to the blooms. Don't use dish soap, as it will choke the flower stems as well. 2. Trim Stems & Prune Leaves Trim the stems at an angle before putting into your vase. Also, remove leaves that would be submerged under water in the vase. Not only does it make a clean presentation, it cuts down on bacteria that would grow in the water, clogging the stems. 3.Daily Change Water & Trim Stems  Daily change
