Flower Care Tips |
African
Violet
African violets prefer bright indirect sunlight and grow well under fluorescent
light – perfect for brightening up an office. Cut off the flowers after
they die and keep the soil moist. Feed monthly and keep well ventilated.
Azalea
Azalea plants produce beautiful blooms but they require specific care. Full
sunlight, regular feeding and rich soil are just some of their needs. Remove
all dead flowers and keep the soil moist.

| A
bit of Flower History |
If
you decide to give the gift of flowers, it will mean so much more if you're familiar
with some of the meanings behind them. Imagine giving a bouquet of purple irises,
crocuses, and ivy to your special someone on Valentine's Day, and being able to
share that this was a traditional bouquet given on this day in Medieval times
because the iris meant "heat aflame," the crocus, "joy," and
the ivy ensured the recipient was wanted "above all others." A red carnation
was delivered to a loved one who was absent, and snowdrops sent a message of the
desire to rekindle an old romance.
