•    First of all arrange greenery in a vase. Cuts its tips to any size you like and start arranging them crisscrossed. Thus, you will make a good base for the flowers.

•    In case you prefer getting a small-sized and no tall flower arrangement arrange the flower stems crisscrossed so they stay around the inside of the vase. Thus you will get a vase with flower ring arranged on the outside and stems in the middle. You will get the rows of blooms becoming higher and higher. Finally you will see a cute round-shaped flower arrangement.

•    In case you prefer making a tall flower arrangement, get a long, thin vase. Thus, the blooms will be kept in place and look balanced. For this arrangement I would recommend you to get gladiolus flowers, lily, snapdragon flowers, long-stemmed tulips and such.

•    Do not try to make your floral arrangement look perfect as in such a way it usually looks unreal. Just have a glance at your yard or garden. Do you see that the flowers are arranged in disorder? I mean some of them stick out, other are almost invisible but compliment to the entire display. But the main thing is that the overall appearance looks very natural and eye-catching.

•    Try to take odd numbers of blooms, you can take 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 flowers but not 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. For instance, if you have five daisies, put three of them together at a lightly varied length next to the vase’s bottom center. The rest two flowers arrange on the higher level.

•    And the final piece of advice is to gather images of various flower arrangements to your taste and try making them, following the tips given by me. Believe or not you are capable to do create your own nice masterpieces.

Fresh flower arrangements are loved by their fresh look and pleasing fragrance they spread in the air. As for dried flower arrangement they help us to keep a small piece of nature in our home for quite a long period of time.

Today I would like to discuss a very interesting topic that is dried flower wreaths. No doubt, they give a showy way to hold nature’s beauty alive for a couple of years.

Very frequently those who make wreaths rely on silk foliage and blooms for decorations. One of the main reason of their choice is that fresh leaves and blossoms will fade. But who said you cannot prevent the plants’ withering? As the matter of fact you can dry then or preserve in ways that let their usage in splendid ornamental wreaths.

Do you know that some blooms can be even dried on the plant itself?  The plant should be hung in a comparatively dark, dry place for quite a long time. With the proper care you are free to preserve the beauty of the bloom. Other blooms should be dried in a silica compound or a glycerin solution.

Dried blooms are widely utilized for making some of the most outstanding wreaths. By utilizing fresh flowers, we get a splendid arrangement, which, unfortunately, last not for so long as we want. Dried flower wreaths are the ones that are constant reminder of infinite and unfading natural beauty.

However, dried flower wreaths will never last as long as the wreaths made of silk/artificial blooms. Thus, I would recommend you to hang your dried flower wreath far from constant foot traffic and direct sunlight. If you maintain it in a proper way, a natural dried flower wreath can be preserved for many years, providing incomparable beauty.

No doubt, these striking flowers will make your garden much brighter. Now I will share some tips on plant’s care. Hope they will be of great usage for you

•    Stargazer should be placed in such spot, where it gets about 6 hours of direct sunlight. In climates with too hot summer seasons the plant will thieve if receives morning sunlight and will be in shade during afternoon hours. Stargazer lily will endure partial shade, but its flowers may fade without proper sunshine.

•    Now it is time for soil preparation. It should have depth of 8 -10 in and be without any rocks or debris.  For preventing soggy soil use drainage. Do not forget to fertilize the soil as well.

•    Your stargazer lily should be planted in the early springtime. Dig a 6 -8 in- deep hole, mixing 1 ts. of bone meal into the soil.  Afterwards put there the bulbs, covering them with loose soil and packing by hands. To add a natural effect, make groups of 3-5 plants. Believe they will look gorgeously if not to plant them paired or in straight rows.

•     Once the bulbs are planted water them, keeping the soil moist until the emerging of first leaves. The soil should be watered once it is going to dry.

•     In springtime once new growth appears, feed the plant with fertilizers. Add fertilizers prior flowering as well; it is better to apply a high phosphorus fertilizer to ensure big bright flowers.

•    When the flowers will fade or start losing their petals, take off them. I would not advise you to cut back the stargazer after flowering. Just let the leaves go on growing.

•    When the foliage has become brownish, it is time to cut the plant back to the level of soil and cover it with 3- 4 in layer of old foliage for protecting the bulbs during the wintertime.

Just make a hole and put the tulip bulb into it. To receive the wonderful blooms follow some simple steps that are given beneath.

•    The tulips should be planted in a soil that is drained very well. Note the plant do not tolerate to stay in water as it can kill their roots. To ensure the soil is really drained add into it 2 lbs. of peat moss. In case you are going to plant your tulips in a clayish soil, mix it with sand.

•    The bulbs should be planted nearly 10-15 days prior to the 1st frost. In case they are planted very early in the season, they can die off during cold weather.

•    A hole for every bulb should be twice or three times bigger then the bulb’s diameter. The usual depth of a hole is nearly 6-8 in. Add fertilizers (you can sprinkle bone meal).

•    To prevent weeds, mulch over the bulb you have planted. Beside of it will ensure good drainage.
•    Once the flower petals start falling, the tulip’s stem should be cut at the stem. It will not allow the plant to produce seeds, thus it will not waste its energy.

•    When the leaves turn brownish and wither, they should be pruned back.

Additional suggestions

•    It is better to plant per 7 or more bulbs in a clump. The number of bulbs depends on the plant’s variety.

•    To get lasting color you can plant the bulbs blooming at various times during the spring season.

•    To ensure large and nice flowers, dig up the tulip, removing the new, tiny bulbs that have grown during the year. Afterwards carefully put the bigger bulb back into the soil.

Good luck to you! I am sure your tulips will be the best!

Year by year people utilize blooms as bearers of their romantic thoughts and emotions for their dear Valentines.  Red roses are the most popular flowers gifted on such a special occasion as St. Valentine’s Day. The main reason of the flower popularity is its symbolical meaning that is affection, love and passion. A sole eye-catching red rose stem makes fantastic present for almost every lover.

Among other common blooms that are in high demand on Valentine’s Day are tulip, daffodil and iris flowers. The bouquets can be arranged either of the same flower type or several other flower sorts can be combined together. Such flower arrangements look very bright and stunning.

If you have no experience in flower designing I will help you to arrange Valentine’s Day nosegay on your own. Be sure your dearest one will be overwhelmed with happiness and joy on receiving it.

A classical present for Valentine’s Day is a nosegay made of 12 red roses as it conveys a message of love and romance. To give a personalized touch to a bouquet you can adorn it with balloons, candies and chocolates. Why not attach several hearts, ribbons and tiny toys?

If your sweetheart likes many flower types you can arrange your own mixed nosegay. However I would recommend you to ask for help of your local florist so the bouquet will look really amazing and romantic. He will help you to choose the right color combination and flower types matching each other.

The way you present Valentines Day bouquet to your dearest one is also very important. It would be great to write a small message and then tie it with the ribbon to the bouquet base. Or hide it in the flowers.

Do not afraid to use your imagination and creativity as your beloved deserves a nice St. Valentine’s Day flowers indeed!
