In The Vase
Our flowers will be laid out head to tail, carefully remove your stems from the tissue paper and trim ¼ of an inch of the bottom of each stem as you begin arranging them in your vase. Add one pack of flower food and read your flower care guide!
In Bloom
We can’t wait for you to see this week’s bouquet! Let this bouquet welcome you to October. The lilies will need a few days to open once they arrive!
Bouquet Stems
Brassica
This unique stem is one of our favourite Fall features from Quik Farms. It’s of the Mustard family, and is commonly known as ornamental cabbage but we think they look like giant green roses. The trick to making Brassica shine is to pull open it’s leaves until they fan out - have a watch of our video to see how Kate does it :)
Asiatic Lilies
A Bear’s Blooms staple! We love to mix these fragrance free lilies into our bouquets.
Oriental Lilies
A big welcome to fragrant Oriental Lilies from Mardell Farms! These stunning blooms are the star of this week’s bouquet. At almost twice the size of the Asiatic Lilies, these guys definitely make an entrance.
Veronika
These little blooms add the perfect finishing touch to this week’s bouquet. We love using these seasonal field grown spikes whenever we can.
Tips and Tricks
When your flowers arrive they may look a little tired, but fear not, they will perk right up once they have some water!
Cut all of your stems at a 45 degree angle and trim off the leaves below the water line.
Be sure to add your flower food, it makes a world of difference!
After 3-4 days, recut your stems, change the water and add the second pack of flower food.
Some of your flowers may last longer than others, freshen up the arrangement by pruning the spent stems.
