Cut the stems: If you receive flowers in a box or tissue, remove all of the foliage that falls below the water line, then cut the stems with a sharp knife in a sink full of warm water. Be sure to cut the stems under the water and place them immediately into a vase of warm water mixed with the floral food provided by your florist.
Arrangement for the room environment:If the flowers are for decorating or entertaining, describe the environment where the arrangement will be placed so your florist can create an arrangement that complements the style and colors of your home. Consider bringing in your own vase or container for an added personal touch. Hair coloring with flowers: Ancient Assyrians had a technique for turning gray hair dark again by mixing crushed daisies with oil and applying it to the hair.
