Of course, we all want to pick not only the most beautiful but also the freshest flowers and not because we are that greedy and want a single bouquet to be alive for 14 days, it’s because we don’t want to spoil flowers, since they are alive. The following tips will help you to know what blooms to pick up:

Fresh flowers

  • Take flowers with some unopened buds. But be careful and don’t choose too tightly shut green buds, they are not mature yet and they will never open;
  • Stems and blossoms should be firm. Pay attention, such flowers as gerbera daisies, should have plastic straws or foam cuffs to protect their stems;
  • Leaves should be healthy and perfectly green yellow and unhealthy leaves are the signs of decaying flowers;
  • Fresh flowers can’t be in the discount section.

Pick the best!
