arrangements care
Arrangements in green (Oasis) foam are easy to look after, however they will not
last quite as long as cut flowers in water. Oasis foam arrangements are kept in
a water-retaining foam, and upon receiving the arrangement you should gently pour
clean water into the centre or back of the design. Wait until the water is absorbed
by the foam and then add some more water. Keep doing this until the arrangement
will take no more water. Having watered the arrangement, gently tip off any excess
water, wipe and dry the base. Top up the arrangement with water each day.
As with other arrangements, do not place the arrangement in full sunlight or in
a window and keep the arrangement away from draughts, radiators and TVs.
Spray the arrangement with a gentle mist of water daily and remove any old flowers
from the arrangement. To rearrange any flowers, re-cut the stem ends under water
using a sharp knife or scissors. Then, insert each flower back into the arrangement.
Where foam has been used, be sure to insert the stems firmly and deeply.

| A
bit of Flower History |
For women, flowers
are an absolutely fail-safe romantic gift. Gentlemen, you cannot go wrong by buying
your special someone a bouquet or a single stem of her favorite flower. Giving
flowers to men can be tricky however. Some men would welcome this role reversal
and appreciate the sentiment, while others would feel insulted, and perhaps a
little wounded as well. So stop a moment and consider what you know about your
partner so that you can make an educated decision. If you have your doubts, don't
buy him flowers. There are plenty of other options.
