THE MOODS OF SUMMER

Flowers

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p style="color: #333333;">Buying flowers for your sorority crush can be an important step in your relationship. If you give them anonymously, you can build your crush's opinion of you as the suspense builds over who is her secret admirer. You can use flowers to reveal yourself to her, or buy her a gift of flowers after the two of you hang out at a crush party. The following three tips can make your gift more appreciated and more likely to win you favor with your sorority crush.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>1. Choose the right type of flower.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Some sororities have an official flower type and color, such as a white rose, red carnation, or pink orchid. Try to find out if your crush's sorority does, and consider buying a bouquet whose main flower is the official flower of your crush's sorority.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">You don't have to buy the official flower, though. Opt for the '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/102" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/102">Basket of Sunflowers</a>' if you think your crush would enjoy placing the basket on her desk. If you know that your crush wants to go to a tropical vacation destination but is a long way from a dream to the Virgin Islands or the Bahamas, consider giving her '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2465" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2465">A Cheerful Orange Delight</a>' with colorful flowers artfully arranged with orange slices in the vase.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>2. Put your own spin on it.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #333333;">An arranged flower bouquet is just the start. Once you put the finishing touches on it, it will be a unique gift. Include a personal message with the bouquet, and think about adding another gift that she will love or can share with her sorority sisters. Fresh-baked cookies, a fruit basket, and spa baskets are all good choices.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>3. Consider the timing when choosing your flowers.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #333333;">A light-hearted gift of flowers can be ideal if your crush does not know who you are or if the two of you do not have much history together. Send summery flowers, such as roses or sunflowers, to brighten her sorority house room and her mood. Plan for the flowers to be delivered the day of the party so that she is excited to see you, or deliver them the day afterwards to tell her that you had a great time with her last night.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Wearable flowers are a great choice if you want to give your gift in person but are not planning to see your crush until the party starts. Bring a corsage to pin on her dress or put around her wrist. The '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2193" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2193">Cymbidium Crysanthemum Corsage</a>,' with ivory and pink satin ribbons and a white chrysanthemum with a ruby and gold center, is an elegant choice.</p>

Our mild climate accommodates plants that thrive in all four seasons, and we especially love to enjoying indoor plants that bloom in the winter. At <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong><strong>,</strong></span> our florists put together a list of our top five favorite plants that bloom naturally during the coldest season. </span><span id="more-1529"></span></p>
<h3><strong>1. Poinsettia</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1531" style="width: 260px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1531" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-1531" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/POINSETTIA-PLANT-GARDEN-250x300.jpg" alt="A gorgeous garden of Poinsettias and other complimenting plants and decorations in the warm theme and spirit of Christmas." width="250" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/POINSETTIA-PLANT-GARDEN-250x300.jpg 250w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/POINSETTIA-PLANT-GARDEN.jpg 392w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px"><p id="caption-attachment-1531" class="wp-caption-text">Poinsettia &amp; Plant Garden</p></div>
<p>It wouldn't be the holidays without this quintessential festive plant. For traditional holiday decor, we recommend white and <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/holiday-plants-poinsettia-delivery-los-angeles/green-graden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">red poinsettia plants</a></strong></span>, but you can also go for a slightly quirky&nbsp;take on the holiday tradition with poinsettias in hot pink, salmon, yellow, or even&nbsp;orange. Poinsettia flowers, which are actually the small yellow clusters at the center of the plant's brightly colored bracts (leaves), bloom in response to the shortening days in winter.</p>
<p>To keep yours vibrant through the season, be sure to place it in a location where it will receive plenty of sunlight and water it regularly, without ever letting the plant sit in standing water.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Kalanchoe</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1537" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1537" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-1537" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Kalanchoe-Plant-with-Purple-Flowers-300x183.jpg" alt="Kalanchoe Plant with Purple Flowers" width="300" height="183" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Kalanchoe-Plant-with-Purple-Flowers-300x183.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Kalanchoe-Plant-with-Purple-Flowers-1200x731.jpg 1200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Kalanchoe-Plant-with-Purple-Flowers-768x468.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Kalanchoe-Plant-with-Purple-Flowers-1536x935.jpg 1536w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Kalanchoe-Plant-with-Purple-Flowers-2048x1247.jpg 2048w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Kalanchoe-Plant-with-Purple-Flowers-493x300.jpg 493w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px"><p id="caption-attachment-1537" class="wp-caption-text">Kalanchoe</p></div>
<p>These pretty plants start blooming in autumn and will continue to flower until spring. Their tiny flowers pop out in clusters of bold colors like red, pink, orange, yellow, and white to keep all of winter vibrant.</p>
<p>A member of the succulent family, kalanchoe are fairly simple&nbsp;to cultivate. They need plenty of sun, which is easy to come by in southern California, and they&nbsp;tolerate drought well, which means they won't die if you forget about them. The worst thing you can do for a kalanchoe is water it too frequently.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Azalea</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1533" style="width: 284px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1533" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-1533" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/AZALEA-BASKET-274x300.jpg" alt="Bright pink azalea plants in wicker basket" width="274" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/AZALEA-BASKET-274x300.jpg 274w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/AZALEA-BASKET-768x842.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/AZALEA-BASKET.jpg 950w" sizes="(max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px"><p id="caption-attachment-1533" class="wp-caption-text">Azalea Basket</p></div>
<p>Azaleas bloom abundantly with delicate, papery blossoms in a rainbow of colors, which are set against a backdrop of dark green foliage. We especially love them in deep <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=860" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shades of pink and rose</a></strong></span>. Grown indoors, they're cultivated for blooming in winter, but when planted outside, they usually flower in the late spring or early fall.</p>
<p>Although LA is just on the edge of being too warm for azaleas to thrive, if provided with enough shade and plenty of water, a potted azalea can be planted in an outdoor garden come spring.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Orchid</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1532" style="width: 260px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1532" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-1532" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/SINGLE-WHITE-PHALAENOPSIS-ORCHID-PLANTER-250x300.jpg" alt="A gorgeous, hand-selected, white Phalaenopsis Orchid plant displayed in an understated, stylishly elegant wooden box or ceramic container" width="250" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/SINGLE-WHITE-PHALAENOPSIS-ORCHID-PLANTER-250x300.jpg 250w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/SINGLE-WHITE-PHALAENOPSIS-ORCHID-PLANTER.jpg 392w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px"><p id="caption-attachment-1532" class="wp-caption-text">Single White Phalaenopsis Orchid</p></div>
<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/orchids-los-angeles/white/">Orchids</a> are extra-sensitive to changes in temperatures, and when the mercury drops in winter, they begin to bloom. Orchids are one of our favorite plants for winter because of their perfectly timed blossoms and due to the sheer variety of orchids to choose from. An estimated 30,000 different orchid species blossom all around the world.</p>
<h3><strong>5. Amaryllis</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1536" style="width: 210px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1536" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1536" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Amaryllis-Plant-with-Red-Blooms-252x300.jpg" alt="Amaryllis Plant with Red Blooms" width="200" height="238" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Amaryllis-Plant-with-Red-Blooms-252x300.jpg 252w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Amaryllis-Plant-with-Red-Blooms-768x914.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Amaryllis-Plant-with-Red-Blooms.jpg 873w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px"><p id="caption-attachment-1536" class="wp-caption-text">Amaryllis</p></div>
<p>Amaryllis plants are also perfect for winter and the holiday season. Carefully cultivated, their bulbs will bloom about six to eight weeks after they're first planted. This makes it easy to time the emergence of their beautiful, red blossoms for the holidays.</p>
<p>Amaryllis plants are cousins of the lily, which means they're beautiful and also poisonous. Although they're toxins aren't quite as potent as those of a lily, they can harm cats, dogs, and people. Be sure to display yours in a location that curious household pets and small children won't be able to reach.</p>
<h2><strong>Winter Wonders in Los Angeles's Growing Zone 10</strong></h2>
<p>In Los Angeles, we and our plants benefit from a relatively pleasant growing zone. According to the <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">USDA's</a></strong></span> hardiness chart, our area's average extreme minimum temperatures are fairly high when compared to the rest of the country. This means we can cultivate&nbsp;a greater variety of plants in our outdoor gardens because they don't have to be quite so hardy to withstand temperatures that fall well below freezing.</p>
<p>Since winter days still grow shorter and the weather cooler, we still get to enjoy the seasonal beauty of plants that bloom in the winter like poinsettias and orchids. For more information about the best plants to grow and gift during the winter months, we welcome you to contact a <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong></span> location near you for personalized winter plant recommendations and expert advice.</p>

Flowers are pretty, they smell wonderful, and just being around them has all sorts of amazing <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://bestlifeonline.com/8-amazing-benefits-of-having-flowers-in-your-home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">health benefits</a></strong></span>. Flowers can lower stress, improve your mood, and strengthen your memory. They've also been shown to speed the recovery of people ailing from illness, injury, or recovering from surgery. With so many benefits, there's no reason to wait for a holiday or special occasion. Why not order a bouquet of flowers today?</span></p>
<p><span id="more-1499"></span></p>
<h2><strong>These Are the Most Popular Flowers</strong></h2>
<p>All flowers are beautiful and deserve popularity, but some have risen above the rest thanks to their unique appearance, lovely fragrance, or symbolic meanings. Often flower popularity depends on the time and place in which you live. For example, lotus flowers and camellias are very popular in East Asia, but not used as often in other parts of the world. There was also a time when <a href="https://www.holland.com/global/tourism/discover-holland/traditional/tulips/history-of-tulips-in-holland.htm">tulips</a> were so valuable, they were used as currency and comprised most of Holland's economy. Tulips are still well-loved today, but you probably won't find anyone who's willing to shell out tens of thousands of dollars for a single bulb.</p>
<p>We especially love our favorite flowers for their versatility and beauty in a variety of floral designs.</p>
<h3><strong>1. Roses</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1524" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/florists/best-los-angeles-heavenly-colors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1524" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1524" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Heavenly-Colors-250x300.jpg" alt="Multicolored roses with greenery in a vase" width="400" height="481" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Heavenly-Colors-250x300.jpg 250w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Heavenly-Colors-768x923.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Heavenly-Colors.jpg 950w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></a><p id="caption-attachment-1524" class="wp-caption-text">Heavenly Colors</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/florists/best-los-angeles-heavenly-colors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Roses</a></strong></span> will always be considered classic and elegantly beautiful. They bloom in a variety of colors and are so popular that individual types of roses have different meanings. You probably know that red roses symbolize romance and romantic love, but you did you know that white roses represent purity, yellow roses are for friendship, lavender roses are for a love at first sight, and pink roses symbolize gentle admiration?</p>
<h3><strong>2. Hydrangeas</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1521" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/anniversary/florists-beverly-hills-heaven-purple/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1521" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1521" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Heaven-Purple-and-Pink-270x300.jpg" alt="Pink roses and purple hydrangea with greenery" width="400" height="445" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Heaven-Purple-and-Pink-270x300.jpg 270w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Heaven-Purple-and-Pink-768x854.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Heaven-Purple-and-Pink.jpg 950w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></a><p id="caption-attachment-1521" class="wp-caption-text">Heaven Purple and Pink</p></div>

They're also available in white and green varieties. They feature snowball-like clusters of small flowers and symbolize gratitude for being understood. They're perfect for a close friend or confidant.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Orchids</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1527" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/luxury-los-angeles/deluxe-rose-clusters-orchid-plants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1527" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1527" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Deluxe-Rose-Clusters-and-Orchids-250x300.jpg" alt="Pink roses and white orchids" width="400" height="480" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Deluxe-Rose-Clusters-and-Orchids-250x300.jpg 250w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Deluxe-Rose-Clusters-and-Orchids-768x922.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Deluxe-Rose-Clusters-and-Orchids.jpg 950w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></a><p id="caption-attachment-1527" class="wp-caption-text">Deluxe Rose Clusters and Orchids</p></div>
<p>Orchids are one of the most exotic floral choices. They bloom in several hues, patterns, and color combinations. They're also available in countless varieties. <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/luxury-los-angeles/deluxe-rose-clusters-orchid-plants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Orchids</a></strong></span> symbolize exotic beauty, glorious femininity, mature charm, thoughtfulness, and refinement. They're a wonderful gift for any special woman in your life.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Tulips</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_1523" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/iris-lilies-tulips-orchids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1523" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1523" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Blissfully-Vibrant-270x300.jpg" alt="pink adn purple orchids lilies adn tulips" width="400" height="445" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Blissfully-Vibrant-270x300.jpg 270w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Blissfully-Vibrant-768x854.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/11/Blissfully-Vibrant.jpg 950w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></a><p id="caption-attachment-1523" class="wp-caption-text">Blissfully Vibrant</p></div>

Plus, the rounded, sturdier shape of the tulip bulb nicely complements the delicateness of other flowers, such as the orchid, as seen in the above arrangement. We especially love tulips for celebrating springtime occasions like Easter and Mother's Day.</p>
<h3><strong>5. King Protea</strong></h3>

<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=3235" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">King protea</a></strong></span> blooms in peach, cream, yellow, white, orange, and pink colors. They're the largest of all protea blooms, and their spiky petals will add textural dynamics to any arrangement. This flower is a physical manifestation of strength, and it represents courage, resourcefulness, diversity, change, and transformation.</p>
<h2><strong>What Your Favorite Flower Says About You</strong></h2>
<p>While flowers have their own set <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.almanac.com/content/flower-meanings-language-flowers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">symbolic meanings</a></strong></span>, many people think favorite flowers also have the power to reveal something about a person's personality. If you love daffodils, you might be a great host and also quite artistic or creative. People who love daisies are thought to be optimistic and adventures. Fans of violets are witty and reserved, while lilac lovers also love everything that makes them feel nostalgic.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Order Flowers for Someone</strong></h2>
<p>When ordering flowers for someone other than yourself, remember to consider your relationship with them, the type of occasion, and the sentiment you want your floral gift to convey. We recommend reserving red roses for solely romantic relationships and occasions and saving all-white arrangements for more somber events, as they tend to represent remembrance and sympathy. If you're uncertain, choosing an arrangement with a variety of colors and flowers is always a safe bet!</p>
<p>Ordering flowers from <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/best-flower-delivery-los-angeles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong></span> is surprisingly simple. You can have flowers delivered to just about any location, using our online ordering tools. We also welcome customers to stop by any of our flower shops for personalized assistance with choosing the best flowers for your recipient.</p>

<h2><strong>Why It's Customary to Arrive with a Gift for Your Host</strong></h2>
<p>When you've been invited to someone's home for a sit-down dinner, it's customary to bring a gift for your host or hostess. This gift is a way of politely saying,&nbsp;'thank you for having me.' Choosing something thoughtful, beautiful, and/or useful is great. You should bring a hostess gift even if it's a potluck-style meal. Even though your host isn't doing all the cooking, it still takes a lot of work to organize the meal and prepare one's house for guests.</p>

<h2><strong>When in Doubt, Remember Flowers Are Always Appropriate</strong></h2>
<p>If you're still not sure what type of gift would be most appropriate for your host or hostess, we recommend a beautiful floral arrangement because you can never go wrong with flowers! Be sure to bring an arrangement or centerpiece with flowers that have already been cut and arranged because your host will likely not have time to trim and arrange freshly cut flower stems.</p>
<p>For personalized recommendations and assistance selecting a floral gift&nbsp;for your Thanksgiving hostess, we welcome you to stop by one of our <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/branchLocations.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong></span> showrooms.

They are easy to care for and provide an office with a professional yet lush, natural vibe. The most important thing to note about these plants is that they can be killed by overwatering ' watch for yellow leaves, which will indicate your plant is 'drowning'. &nbsp;To properly hydrate the plant, refrain from watering until the&nbsp;soil in the pot is dry, and then soak the soil thoroughly.</p>
<p>You'll want to place your Schefflera in medium, filtered light. If the light is too direct or too bright, leaves could burn or scorch. If your plant begins to get 'leggy', or if it begins to droop, it probably needs more light. &nbsp;If you are interested in these plants, or other green plants perfect for home or office decor, <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/">check out our collection.</a>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/orchids-los-angeles/"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-968" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/04/fr.jpg" alt="indoor plants" width="950" height="1140" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/04/fr.jpg 950w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/04/fr-250x300.jpg 250w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/04/fr-768x922.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2017/04/fr-853x1024.jpg 853w" sizes="(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px"></a></p>
<p>Orchids are a favorite flowering plant, as they add exotic style to any environment and decor. Whether Phalaenopsis orchids (shown above), known for their delicate butterfly-shaped flowers; or oncidium orchids their care is relatively easy. Most orchids prefer warm temperatures to 85 degrees during the day, and at least 50% humidity ' which explains why many people grow orchids on back porches and patios. They prefer bright light, but direct sunlight may scorch them, so be careful of too much exposure. Both varieties of orchid prefer their soil becomes nearly dry between waterings ' never allow the roots to remain in standing water or they will rot and could cause the plant to die.&nbsp;<strong>Hint:&nbsp;</strong>Morning misting of foliage is helpful during periods of hot weather. When watering or misting, using rainwater or distilled water is preferable to tap water which may cause mineral buildup.</p>
<p>This spring, fill your Los Angeles home with beautiful orchids and indoor plants ' and transform your environment in the most beautiful way. The floral designers at<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/"> French Florist </a>are eager to help you choose the very best indoor plants for every occasion.</p>

Although this tried and true&nbsp;method works well and is the most recommended way for those who plan to display dried flowers in a vase, this flower preservation&nbsp;method&nbsp;requires days and days of drying. If you have a dried flower project that you want to work on today, waiting a week or longer for your flowers to dry simply won't work. Our Los Angeles flower experts at<strong> <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong> recommend trying a more modern method of flower drying that will allow you to have fresh flowers now and dry flowers in just minutes.</p>

<h2><strong>How to Dry Flowers in Just Minutes</strong></h2>
<p>To dry flowers in minutes, zap them in the microwave!</p>
<p>In order to dry flowers in the microwave, you'll need some supplies which include a microwave-safe container and enough silica sand to fill the container or at least completely bury your flowers. To prepare your flowers, trim away leaves and stems. Then put down a layer of sand and arrange your flowers on top of it in the container. Next, cover your flowers completely with the silica sand. Fill a cup with water and put it in the microwave with your container of flowers and silica sand. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals and check your flowers' progress between each 30 seconds of heat. The total drying time will depend on the type and size of flowers, but dry completely in two or three minutes.</p>
<div id="attachment_1541" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/flower-cluster-arrangement-los-angeles-ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1541" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1541" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/A-Flower-Cluster-270x300.jpg" alt="A cluster of tastefully chosen, complimentary flowers gathered carefully and displayed elegantly in an understated, clear glass cubed vase." width="400" height="445"></a><p id="caption-attachment-1541" class="wp-caption-text">A Flower Cluster</p></div>
<p>Microwave drying flowers works well for blooms of all sizes, including even the largest flowers like the sumptuous roses in our<strong> <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/flower-cluster-arrangement-los-angeles-ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">'A Flower Cluster'</a> </strong>bouquet. While any size of bloom can be dried in the microwave, you will need to trim the stems to make sure they fit in your microwave-safe container.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Dry Flowers in Just Hours</strong></h2>
<p>Microwaving flowers is a great option, and it's really fast, but it's not the perfect flower drying method, if&nbsp;you want to keep your flowers' long stems. Although you can't dry long-stemmed flowers in the microwave, you can bake them in the oven.</p>
<div id="attachment_1550" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1550" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-1550" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-300x200.jpg" alt="Bouquet of Dried Roses" width="400" height="267" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-300x200.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-768x512.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/12/Bouquet-of-Dried-Roses-450x300.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"><p id="caption-attachment-1550" class="wp-caption-text">Bouquet of Dried Roses</p></div>
<p>First, you'll need to preheat the oven to its lowest heat setting and line a cookie sheet with either wax or parchment paper. Arrange your flowers on the cookie sheet so that they do not overlap. Put them in the oven and leave the door cracked so that moisture will be able to escape and evaporate out of the flowers.</p>
<p>Drying flowers in the oven requires take between eight and twelve hours, so you'll want to do this on a day when you'll be able to stay home and monitory their progress.</p>

<h2><strong>How to Make Your Dried Flowers Last</strong></h2>
<p>The most important part of successfully drying flowers is making sure they're completely dry. Any leftover moisture will cause the flowers to rot. Your flowers will have a tissue paper-like texture when they're ready.</p>
<p>Dried flowers will last a long time on their own, but there are some things you can do to make them stay beautiful even longer. Be careful not to display your flowers in direct sunlight, as this will cause their colors to fade. Do not keep them near a humid location in your home, like a bathroom, because the moisture will damage them.&nbsp;To further protect your flowers from the elements, you can mist them with a few coats of evenly and gently applied hairspray.</p>

Throughout the year, roses are used to say 'I love you' or 'I'm sorry,' but this month, roses represent celebration! Depending on your relationship with the recipient, an appropriate color of rose can convey a personalized message. Assigning meaning to flowers was an idea that originated in the Middle East thousands of years ago when women used flowers to communicate when they were otherwise not allowed to speak. The tradition of exchanging flowers as a means of communication came to Europe during the Victorian Era and was often used in high society. Today, roses still carry the air of a special occasion; they still generally mark occasions that are important to us.</p>

<p>Fittingly, <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=3118">Red Rose Day</a> is also celebrated in June, and this year is observed on June 12th. Although this day is not an official holiday, the recognition of the red rose is a treasured one for botanists and gardeners across the country. Roses are undeniably cherished, and the red rose is the reigning queen of the species ' not only because of its significance in love and romance but for the singular and rare beauty that a red rose exhibits.</p>

It is presently the national flower of Mexico and has been cultivated throughout the world to have over 14,000 varieties today.</p>
<p>Dahlias are famous for their bright, colorful continually-blooming flowers that delight viewers year-round. It comes in variety of sizes, colors and shapes, making it popular with gardeners as well as florists. Its beauty inspired the Spanish who saw it in Mexico, took it to their home country and caused its eventual spread and proliferation in Europe.</p>
<p><strong>Dahlia Description and Characteristics</strong></p>
<p>There can be tremendous differences in the various dahlia species. Color, size, petal shape, height and number of petal rows can all vary widely. They grow in smaller varieties just 1 to 3 feet with flowers 2 to 4 inches in diameter. However, there are also much larger species that grow 6 feet tall with stunning flowers that can get up to one foot in diameter.</p>
<p>One of the most impressive characteristics of the dahlia flower is its ringed petals. Flower color of the dahlia can vary quite a bit, and they are seen in white, pink, yellow, red, orange and purple. Flowers are often solid in color, but they can also be patterned in stripes or have different colors at the edges. Petals can be round or pointed, straight or curled at the edges, long or short, uniform or spaced irregularly. There is quite literally a dahlia for every taste, style and preference.</p>
<p><strong>Dahlia Symbolism and Meaning</strong></p>
<p>The dahlia flower came to inspire profound symbolic meaning as it grew in popularity in the Victorian era. It continues to express strong personal sentiments today when used in d'cor or given as a gift. While meanings had religious connections centuries ago, today it brings a wild, untamed energy to more traditional garden and gift arrangements. It can indicate an era of change, exciting travel plans or a desire to unleash one's 'wild side' a bit more.</p>
<p>Mixed and blended with other flowers, the meaning of dahlia is tempered and more balanced. An arrangement that includes softer blooms like <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a>, calla lilies and tulips can symbolize dignity, elegance and a commitment in marriage. Dahlia also blends well with autumn blooms in <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-fall-flowers/">fall flower arrangements</a>; consider giving the dahlia along with daisies, asters, sunflowers and chrysanthemums for a truly abundant and radiant effect.</p>
