Bouquet on a Budget
Chrysanthemums.
Long lasting, and affordable. Chrysanthemums are available in many colours and, although some varieties have a single head, many types have up to 20 heads per stem. Even the single head types usually have larger blooms. These are excellent flowers to give an impressive sized gift of flowers, even on a budget, as the colours can be mixed.
Chrysanthemum bouquets start from £10.00 (including free delivery locally)
I will post more chrysanthemum types soon on this blog.

Care For Your Fresh Flower Bouquet
How to care for fresh cut flowers
After you receive your bouquet, you can help your fresh flowers last longer by following these simple cut flower care guidelines. We always use the freshest flowers available to fill your bouquet. Knowing how to make your flowers last longer will add to your enjoyment of them, and will help keep them vibrant and long lasting.
Flower food is included with your floral delivery, it is basically sugar that helps keep the bacteria count in the water low. An aspirin, (not ibuprofen), works just a well. Aspirin seems to lengthen the life of the flowers. Just be sure to snip a bit off the ends of the flowers each day.
1. check your flowers daily
Keep the vase, container or liner filled with fresh water. Even if the container has floral foam, you should keep the water level high to promote long lasting flowers. The container's water has a fresh flower food added to it. If you completely change the water, you should also thoroughly clean the container. Add fresh water mixed with a commercial fresh flower food. These flower foods may be supplied by the florist who delivered your order and they contain the correct ingredients to properly nourish the flowers, keep bacteria at bay (which can block the stems and prevent them from absorbing water), encourage buds to open, and lengthen the life of the bouquet. It's one of the best—and easiest—ways to extend the life of your flowers, but be sure to follow the directions on the package correctly.
Improperly mixed flower food can actually do more harm than good.
2. re-cut their stems
Every few days, remove the flowers from the design and re-cut the stems. Remove 3/4" to one inch from the bottom of the stem and be sure to cut the stem at an angle to allow the flower the best chance to take up water. Use a sharp knife or sharp floral cutter or scissor. Avoid smashing or piercing the stems, as this can destroy the water vessels in the stem and prevent water absorption. Remove any spent or damaged blooms or foliage that falls below the waterline in the vase.
To avoid disturbing the stem placements in a vase arrangement, tie the stems with twine just above the vase's edge before taking them out of their vase. Hold the tied arrangement at the twine-bound point to re-cut the stems. Then place them back into the clean vase with the fresh water and a flower food.
3. change their water, and add additional fresh flower food
Be sure to clean the vase before refilling it with room-temperature water mixed with the proper amount of fresh flower food. Be sure no debris is floating in the water (such as leaves and stem parts) as this could promote the growth of bacteria which can shorten a flower's life.
4. display flowers in a cool spot
Most flowers prefer temperatures between 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 22 degrees Celsius) and are best displayed away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators, which give off heat and can cause flowers to dehydrate. Avoid placing fresh flowers near ripening fruit, which releases tiny amounts of ethylene gas that can age them prematurely.

Caring for your Tulips
Tulips
Tulips are spring’s most coveted flower. Unlike other flowers, tulips continue to grow after being cut! They come in the most beautiful colours and look gorgeous alone in bud vases or even in a bucket. With proper care, cut tulips can last a week or more.
Only use a small amount of fresh water in the vase at a time so the tulips won’t continue to grow, use cold water for the tulips and a small amount of flower food. Keep away from direct sunlight.
If your tulips are wilted in the morning, cut their stems, put them in a taller vase, add a little cold water and they’ll stand straight up again.
Check the water often as you’ll need to replenish it because they do drink a lot.

Caring for your Daffodils
Daffodils
Daffodils last longer in shallow water, so when you re-cut their stems and change their water (adding additional floral food) every two or three days, fill the vase only partway. You can leave the protective husks on or gently remove them. When daffodil stems are cut, they release sap that can shorten the life of other flowers. To prevent this, after cutting their stems, place them in a bucket of water for at least 12 hours on their own before mixing them with other flowers. Some modern designs use daffodils with the bulb and roots still intact on the stems. The soil is washed from the root system – and you can enjoy the full botany of the flower from roots to stem, leaves and blossoms.

Caring for your Alstroemeria
Alstroemeria
The buds of your Alstroemeria may appear, when new, to be very tight; with proper nutrition from flower food they should open to full bloom and maximum enjoyment. Alstroemeria are particularly thirsty flowers, so check the vase often to ensure it is full (or the foam material is saturated) and add floral food with each water change.

Caring for your Iris
Iris
Iris may arrive in your vase arrangement as tight buds. But they will open quickly and mature to open form usually within one or two days. Their beautiful blue blossom look good with other spring flowers like tulips and lilies. Their vase life is wonderful, although short lived. Keep water levels in the vase full and bacteria free for best results. Expected vase life is 3-5 days.

Caring for your Freesias
Freesia
The same general care guidelines described here apply to freesia, but note that they prefer room-temperature water. Blossoms appear on a comb – in order from largest to smallest on the horizontal comb. As blossoms pass their prime, they should be plucked or removed from the stem to keep the flower looking attractive.

Caring for your Gerbera
Gerbera
Gerbera stems are highly susceptible to bacteria blockage, causing their heads to droop over, so change their water often and replenish their supply of floral food every 1-2 days. Since they are particularly sensitive to ethylene gas and bacteria – keep the vase and surrounding areas clean and debris free.

Caring for your Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums come in a wide variety of colours, shapes and petal formations. Some even look like the most exotic blossoms you've ever seen – in unusual colours with single or multiple blossoms per stem. It's important to remove the foliage of chrysanthemums if it begins to droop
or yellow. The foliage often deteriorates more quickly than the flowers themselves. Recutting the stems often will also increase the uptake of water and increase vase life. Most chrysanthemums will last 7 to 12 days on average.

Caring for your Carnations
Carnations
The same general care guidelines described here apply to carnations, including their sensitivity to ethylene, a harmless (harmless to humans and animals), naturally produced gas,
which can be released by fruits, vegetables, and decaying floral materials. Keep arranged carnations free of ethylene producing materials for best results.
When you re-cut the stems, cut them just above one of the nodes that run up the flower's stalk. This will allow the stem to more easily draw the water it needs. When properly cared for carnations can last 7-14 days, depending on variety.

Caring for your Roses
Roses
Follow the general care guidelines described here for your roses, being sure to remove any discoloured petals on the flower's outer edge (called guard petals) and foliage that fall below the waterline when refreshing your arrangement. Re-cut the stems diagonally, often to give your roses the longest vase life.

Caring for your Lilies
Lilies
Lily pollen can stain clothing and furniture, so carefully remove the anthers (the orange pollen-coated tips at the end of the stamens) with tissues before displaying your bouquet. As flowers open as your design ages, you should continue to remove the anthers. Follow the same general care guidelines described above, but since lilies bruise easily, handle them with particular care. Their blooms open in succession, and you can snip off spent flowers close to the main stem.
