There’s really nothing like having bright, fresh flowers delivered to your doorstep. Whether you order them yourself or they come from a friend or a lover, it`s something special to enjoy a carefully arranged bunch of blooms. But where do they all come from?
Large Floral Companies
The bigger florists that you find online usually have their own greenhouses where fresh flowers can be grown year round in a controlled climate. The most popular flowers will be cultivated in greater amounts to ensure they don`t run out, particularly with roses and carnations. However, these greenhouses often contain other flowers, as well, which may be more difficult to find. In many cases, the most delicate flowers are the ones that will be brought in from an outside source, if they are deemed too costly to grow on the property and not enough people buy them.
These massive flower growing operations make it possible for flowers to be cut and sent anywhere in the country within hours. So, the flowers that end up on your doorstep are very, very fresh. However, this type of setup is usually only possible for those large companies that have a florist chain or a large online service with delivery options in major cities.
Fresh Flower Wholesalers
Not all florists are big enough to have their own greenhouses. In fact, some are little more than a website and some delivery specialists in every major city. That doesn`t stop them from providing beautiful, fresh flowers, though. Instead, these smaller florist shops turn to wholesalers who can sell them the flowers they need.
Flower wholesalers usually have enormous gardens and greenhouses where every description of flower can be cultivated. These fresh blooms are then harvested and sold by the bundle to florists and flower distributors around the country. The flowers are shipped in carefully refrigerated trucks so they are as fresh as possible upon arrival, since it`s pretty tough to sell.
Smaller florists usually stock up on the most ordered flowers, along with greenery and baby`s breath, but certain flowers may be special order. Orchids and more delicate blossoms will need to be ordered ahead of time to ensure that they have them in stock for the day you need them delivered. For this reason, when ordering fresh flowers, it`s always a good idea to call at least a couple of days in advance.
Freshness Affects Pricing
Fresh flowers are often more expensive during the winter since this is when it is most costly to heat the greenhouses in order to have the flowers flourish. The only other option for most florists is to import tropical flowers from another country, which is usually far too expensive to consider, when given the fairly low prices available at most florists.
Freshness does affect the pricing of flowers to a certain extent, but the type of flower and how hardy it is, will also figure into the price. For example, carnations and daisies tend to be the cheapest flowers available to the public and they are also the hardiest, able to grow in a range of temperatures and they don`t usually wilt for a while after being picked. This most certainly helps their price level!
Fresh flowers make a beautiful gift, even if you are buying it for yourself. There`s really nothing nicer than a big bunch of bright flowers to light up a room and fill it with their scent, which is why they have been a popular gift for centuries and will likely continue to be for many centuries more.

Originar este insa din Asia, existand chiar unele specii (mult mai putine cantitativ) care provin din Europa, America de Nord sau Africa de nord-vest. Asia Centrala, mai exact, este regiunea din care provin cam toate speciile, hibrizii si varietatile de trandafiri ornamentali cunoscuti astazi.
Primul trandafir rosu din Europa a fost introdus in 1792, din China, unde era un simplu trandafir salbatic care crestea pe munti. Imediat, crescatorii de trandafiri au inceput sa hibridizeze cinci trandafiri rosii pentru a-i cultiva. Trandafirii pot avea o singura inflorire pe an, putand fi remontanti si inflorind in acest caz de primavara pana toamna.
Pana in prezent se cunosc peste 100 de specii si in jur de 20.000 de soiuri, suficente astfel pentru a fi pe placul chiar si celor mai exigente persoane. Nu degeaba podelele din palatul Cleopatrei erau presarate cu petale delicate de trandafiri, la sosirea lui Marcus Antonius, potrivit scrierilor din acea vreme. Totodata, romanii bogati se odihneau in paturi ornate cu petale de trandafiri sau purtau trandafiri legati in jurul gatului.
Legendele spun ca trandafirul a fost creat de zei si incoronat ca regina florilor pentru frumusetea, gratia si parfumul sau.
Legenda romana aminteste de o fecioara pe nume Rhodanthe, a carei frumusete a atras multi petitori. Epuizata de atatea cereri in casatorie, Rhodanthe s-a ascuns in templul prietenei ei, Diana. Din pacate, aceasta a devenit geloasa, iar atunci cand petitorii au navalit in templu pentru a o gasi pe mult iubita Rhodanthe, Diana s-a infuriat si a transformat-o pe frumoasa fecioara in trandafir, iar pe petitorii acesteia in spini.
Legenda romaneasca spune insa ca Dumnezeu a creat trandafirul, iar diavolul i-a creat spinii.
In legenda greceasca, trandafirul a fost creat de Chloris, zeita florilor, din trupul unei nimfe gasit fara suflare in padure. Chloris a rugat-o pe Afrodita, zeita iubirii, sa-i ofere trandafirului frumusete, pe Dionis, zeu vinului, sa-i ofere un parfum dulce, iar pe cele trei Gratii sa-i ofere farmec, stralucire si bucurie. Vantul de Vest, Zephyr, a suflat atunci norii de pe cer, astfel incat Apollo, zeul soarelui, sa straluceasca si sa ajute trandafirul sa infloreasca. Astfel s-a nascut trandafirul care a fost imediat incoronat ca Regina Florilor. La final, Ares, zeul razboiului, i-a dat trandafirului spini ca sa isi poata apara frumusetea.

The arrival of a new baby is a joyous event and one that definitely warrants recognition. Sending a flower basket is a great way to welcome the new bundle of joy into the world. There are many different options and if you don’t know what to do, it can be pretty confusing trying to choose the right flower basket. Here are some tips on what to look for.
Which Color to Choose
Pink flowers for girls and blue for boys is the usual choice, but it can be a little boring. If you want to spice things up a bit, opt for something like purple and white flowers for a baby girl and red for a boy. For a non-gender specific flower basket, go with the ever-so-sweet all white option. It’s innocent and beautiful and the new mom will be thrilled with it.
Flower Choices
The flowers you choose are important. Delicate, aromatic flowers may be lovely, but they wilt and die very quickly. In order to make the most of your gift, you’ll want to opt for flowers that are hardy and will last longer, yet still elegant enough for a baby.
Carnations are an obvious choice for babies, with their soft, ruffled appearance and delicate perfume. However, carnations can be a bit traditional, so if you are looking for something more original, why not choose Gerber daisies? These simple, but pretty flowers are hardy and can last for a week, making them a great flower to send to a baby. They also come in a wide variety of colors, so it`s easy to find the color combination that you want. Gerber daisies are also lower in price than many more fragile flowers, so they are a good choice any way you look at it.
Little Extras
Just a flower basket isn’t really enough for most people, so most florists allow you to choose little extras to turn a simple flower basket into something truly special. There are dozens of extra items that can be added to a baby flower basket, including the following:
• It’s a Boy/Girl! Balloons
• Teddy bears
• Baby figurines or mother and child figurines
• Assorted other stuffed animals
• Baby rattles and toys
• Picture frames with a baby theme
• Music box
Adding an additional small gift such as one listed above can really make a big difference in how your flower basket is presented. An adorable bunch of Gerber daisies with a cute teddy bear and a balloon announcing the baby’s arrival makes a great newborn gift.
What About Mom?
Parents of the new baby can really enjoy a flower basket as well. Consider going with a more adult theme for the new mom. Roses make a great bouquet that is at once elegant and pretty, particularly if you choose a softer color like peach or yellow.
A flower basket simply recognizes the hard work put in by the mother of the new baby, 9 months of carrying the child and then the delivery. You can add some other little extras to this basket, as well. Chocolates, cookies or even a little figurine are ideal for any new mother.
To welcome a baby into the world and your circle of friends, you really can’t go wrong with a baby themed flower basket. It`s something that the mother and father will enjoy and it`s something that can be enjoyed immediately, as opposed to a toy that would have to wait until the baby is older. Flowers are always a good choice.

Flowers are special. That is so serious sounding. We use flowers for serious occasions like a wedding or a fancy dinner party. We send flowers to wish someone speedy recovery or to send love to survivors of the dearly departed.
I think flowers should also be fun. Flowers’ bright and cheery nature calls for its use in bright and cheery occasions. I often take flowers home just because I can. Flowers can also be a source of joy when you arrange them just for yourself. No need to take it seriously.
Pick up a bunch of gerbera daisies at your local florist and plunk them into a tall thin cylinder vase with some bear grass. Letting them fall every which way gives them a playful look. The same goes for tulips. The taller French tulips make even more of a statement.
I am passionate about flowers. I don’t have any preconceptions about which flowers are trendy and which are not. I love them all. It is OK to pick up a bunch of carnations for the home. There are so many new varieties of these amazing flowers in so many incredible colors. Cluster a bunch of natural green ones and mix them with the new dark purple ones in a purple vase for a vibrant setting.
Some other flowers that are severely overlooked are chrysanthemums and gladiolus. Mums are long lasting and also come in several shapes. Try mixing varieties in a heaping bundle on a coffee table. Gladioli placed in a vase are impressive on an entrance table. They can be collared with a base of assorted greenery for a fuller look.
Imagine red gladiolus against a hot pink wall or green ones against a purple or plum wall! When dahlias are in, I would mix different varieties and cluster them tightly in a low ceramic bowl. They look good anywhere. A single stem of phaleonopsis orchids or cymbidiums set in a vase exude a sophistication that is unmatched.
It does not have to be a special occasion to use flowers. Pick up a mixed bunch of flowers when you are just visiting friends. Most florists will custom mix your bunch for you. Have fun picking and choosing your colors and flowers. If you know where the flowers will be placed, have the florist arrange the bunch so that it will be ready to be placed into a vase with the right mix of colors and flowers.
It is also fun to arrange them with your friends. I always recommend that the bunch of mixed flowers can be separated and placed in several different containers. That way, every room will be beautified with flowers.
A couple of roses in a bud vase for the bedroom or a stem of dendrobium orchid florets floating in a bowl on a coffee table or an assortment set in a vase for the dinning table…all from that bunch of flowers you brought.
Remember to do this for yourself as well because you deserve flowers!

The history of Mother’s Day is centuries old and can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians. Early Christians initially used the day to honor their “Mother Church.” They also celebrated a “Mother’s Festival” during Lent to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. In England, in the 1600’s, the celebration began to include real Mothers, earning the name Mothering Day. During this Lenten Sunday, servants and trade workers were allowed to travel back to their towns of origin to visit their families and came bearing cakes and flowers for Mother. Mothering Day also provided a one-day reprieve from the fasting and penance of Lent as families enjoyed a sumptuous family feast—Mother was the guest of honor. English colonists settled in America discontinued the tradition of Mothering Sunday –perhaps due to lack of time. Another possibility, however, is that Mothering Day conflicted with their Puritan ideals. In 1872, Julia Ward Howe, who penned The Battle Hymn of the Republic, established a landmark in the history of Mother’s Day. Howe had become so distraught by the death and carnage of the Civil War that she called on Mother’s to come together and protest the futility of their Sons killing the Sons of other Mothers. She called for an international Mother’s Day celebrating peace and motherhood. The holiday nearly failed once Howe stopped providing the funding for the majority of these celebrations. Howe had nevertheless planted the seed that would blossom into what we know as Mother’s Day today Anna M. Jarvis also campaigned for the creation of an official Mother’s Day in remembrance of her mother and in honor of peace. Her request was honored, and on May 10, 1908, the first official Mother’s Day celebration took place at Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia and a church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Andrew’s Methodist Church exists to this day, and was incorporated into the International Mother’s Day Shrine in 1962. In 1908, U.S. Senator from Nebraska, Elmer Burkett, proposed making Mother’s Day a national holiday at the request of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA). The proposal was defeated, but by 1909 forty-six states were holding Mother’s Day services as well as parts of Canada and Mexico. Anna Jarvis quit working and devoted herself entirely to the creation of Mother’s Day, endlessly petitioning state governments, business leaders, women groups, churches and other institutions and organizations. She finally convinced the World’s Sunday School Association, a key influence over state legislators and congress, to back her. In 1912 West Virginia became the first state to officially recognize Mother’s Day, and in 1914 Woodrow Wilson signed it into national observance, declaring the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Different colors of roses represent different feelings and emotions. Most rose growers have a personal color favorite and aren’t concerned with the underlying meaning. However, it’s still fun to understand the traditional meaning behind the colors of roses.
The meaning of love that the red rose expresses is the most well known of all the rose colors. Red roses have long symbolized love and romantic relationships. If given red roses by a gentleman ladies know he has strong romantic feelings for her. Red roses are also seen as classic. When reading about roses in poetry, song or a novel you often imagine a full red rose.
Pink roses are commonly presented as gifts and lovingly grown by gardeners alike. Pink roses can mean quite a variety of things from “thank you for your assistance” to “I’m thinking of you.” Pink roses like yellow are the perfect gift for just about anyone. You can choose darker pink for someone with a wild outgoing personality and pale pink for a gift recipient who is shy or calm and collected.
White roses represent purity and true love. They can be an excellent gift for a fiancé, a spouse on a wedding anniversary or the birth of a child. You also have the benefit of knowing white roses will always match a picky recipients décor incase this is a consideration as well.
Yellow roses have traditionally symbolized friendship. They’re such a sunny and cheerful flower that they’ve also been given to acknowledge or congratulate someone for a recent good fortune or happiness. Yellow roses, like pink, have the benefit of being an appropriate gift for just about anyone. You could present them to a wife or girlfriend who loves yellow flowers as well as a coworker, grandparent, friend or sibling.
Orange roses could be considered to have a similar meaning as yellow roses. They can also represent excitement or something new. If you’re starting a new chapter in your life or embarking on an exciting adventure with someone special orange roses could be an excellent gift giving choice.
The key with giving roses and the meaning of the different flower colors is to first consider the gift recipient. It’s wonderful to give your wife or girlfriend red roses but maybe she actually prefers pink, yellow or white. For instance, my mother loves yellow and I’m an orange and pink girl. You’ll be more apt to truly wow that someone special if you take the extra time to discover their personal favorite.

Folositi o vaza curata
Pentru ca florile sa reziste cat mai mult timp este necesar sa stea intr-un recipient cat mai curat, lipsit de microbi si bacterii. Spalati bine vaza inainte de a o utiliza.
Adaugati in apa hrana de flori
In cazul in care ati primit pe langa buchetul de flori si un plic cu hrana de flori presarati continutul acestuia in apa din vaza si amestecati bine inainte de a introduce florile.
Indepartati frunzele din apa
In cazul in care pe tulpinile care intra in apa se mai afla frunze, indepartati-le. Nu este bine ca in apa din vaza sa intre si frunze deoarece acestea contribuie la creearea de bacterii si microbi in apa. Frunzele aflate in exteriorul apei, pe tulpinile florilor, nu trebuie indepartate.
Plasati vaza intr-un loc ferit
Nu lasati vaza cu flori in bataia directa a razelor soarelui sau intr-un loc foarte calduros. Majoritatea florilor, in special crinii si trandafirii, nu rezista nici cand sunt plasati in curent sau in raza de actiune a unor ventilatoare, aparate de aer conditionat sau instalatii de incalzire.
Schimbati periodic apa din vaza
Schimbati apa din vaza cu apa proaspta cat mai des, daca se poate chiar o data pe zi. Daca aveti un cleste de gradina bine ascutit, sau o foarfeca bine ascutita, taiati cate 1-2 cm din tulpinile florile de fiecare data cand schimbati apa. Atentie insa, nu folositi instrumente care sa striveasca tulpinile.
Ingrijirea plantelor
Diversele tipuri de plante necesita modalitati diferite de ingrijire, insa exista cateva idei de baza care trebuie avute in vedere pentru majoritatea plantelor, si anume:
tineti planta intr-un loc ferit de bataia directa a soarelui, departe de actiunea aparatelor de aer conditionat, ventilatoarelor sau radiatoarelor de caldura
udati periodic pamantul din ghiveci
nu plasati planta pe sau langa aparate electrocasnice, caldura provocata de acestea le poate dauna
