Mothers Day Hanging Baskets 2011

Order flowers from us at http://www.bloomsflowershop.net

It is another Mother’s Day and this year poses an unusual situation for growers and florists.  Although many people like to send Mom a fresh bouquet for Mother’s Day, alot of people like to send a flowering hanging basket that will last the spring/summer season.  This years hanging baskets are smaller then years past because the weather in our area has not been ideal for growing- I am told the light has not been enough and the tempuratures not hot enough. The good thing is that hanging baskets although not as mature as they usually are this time of the year will continue to grow and beautify as the spring time weather warms up.  Keep them heavy with water and provide the proper sunlight and these baskets will be enjoyed for the season 2011 as in years past.

This years quick turn around time between Easter, Admin Asst Day and Mother’s poses many challenges to the florist.  Displays and marketing must happen on a quick time schedule as well as making sure the fully stocked cooler and balloon stock is kept up to date and appropriate for the different occasions being celebrated.  But we are up to the challenge and have been having fun creating new holiday designs for this year 2011- stop in and see or visit our website at www.bloomsflowershop.net

Spring Has Sprung!

This is my 11th year hear at Bloom’s for Easter.  It is my favorite of all the Holidays because after the long winter it is always so nice to see and smell all the signs of spring within our four walls.  The bright pinks, yellows and purples are a nice change to all the white we all experienced this winter.  Spring Bulbs like Tulips, Hyacinth, Daffs and Lillies are always a nice gift because if planted after enjoyment- they can be planted outdoors and enjoyed for many years to come.  Happy Easter and Happy Spring everyone.

The Sweetest Season of All

Order flowers from us at http://www.bloomsflowershop.net

Well we just came out of the Merriest season of all and now headed into the Sweetest season.  Whether it is Cupid’s Ball, a Father’s Daughter Dance or Valentine’s Day people will be out looking for blossoms for their sweeties.  When picking up corsages and bouts it is important to keep them refrigerated until you are ready to present them so they stay nice and crisp.  If you are a traditional rose giver or receiver, it is necessary to trim boxed or wrapped Roses prior to arranging them.  Every couple/three days retrim the Roses and place them in fresh water.  These tips will help to ensure that your Bloom’s stay fresh. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.

Easter Lilies

Order flowers from us at http://www.bloomsflowershop.net

Special care: Keep plants watered regularly and keep soil well drained. Plants in bloom need a lot of water and prefer a well-lit location out of direct sunlight. Remove the yellow anthers to prevent staining of white petals. To reflower the next season, continue to water it until foliage matures, then plant outside in late spring.

Lilies can be very toxic to cats, so please keep away from your kittys.  They are not however toxic to other animals or people.
