MM, got your website from a good friend who was raving about it. Wow, really impressive, and the info truly useful! Saw your entry with the beautiful shot of the bee on the gerbera. I simply love gerberas! Can you possibly tell me where you get them wholesale? [or is this still a secret? :-)]thanks!

The chlorine, bleach or vinegar trick serve to add acid to the water that prevents growth of bacteria that then lengthens the life of the flowers. Hence the suggestion that water should be changed rather than just topped up everyday. At a florist or floral supply shop you can get cheap floral “food” in packets that not only have nutrients, they have the stuff that kills bacteria too. I keep loads of this in stock at home.

MM I soak mine with ice cold water but when aboard yachts where we have walk in fridges thats where I store the flowrs
I also have a spray I fill with cold water to freshen them up.
Aspirin works and one greek florist told me she adds a drop of chlorine.

as for wrapping I tell you each country have diff styles of wrapping flowers. The best I have seen of course are the one in London around Knightbridge and Chealsea area.
In Norway they really make a great creation just for the
wraps…

Greece not yet only a few florist and you pay a fortune for such art!!!

am already eyeing courses for floral arrangement in UK and the best in London can charge as much as Â£800 for 3 to 4 days course!
