Flower Spotlight: Delightful Daisies
What do daisies symbolize and how did they get their name?
Freya, the Norse goddess of love, beauty, and fertility cherished the daisy as her sacred flower, so as time passed, this flower came to symbolize new beginnings. They are some of the first flowers to bloom in spring, as early as April, the month they represent. It may come as a surprise to many that the English version of the name originated by the mashing of the words “day’s eye”,
due to the outer petals of the flower closing in around its center when night falls. It is from this peculiarity that the expression “fresh as a daisy” comes from:
when someone has a good night’s rest, the next morning they are as lively and cheerful as a daisy.
What kinds of daisies are there?
The flower diameter of a daisy is typically around 3 to 5 inches, about half the size of their larger cousins, the sunflower, who they resemble in shape and composition. Surrounding the disk at the center of the flower, you will first find the disk floret, composed of hundreds of tiny petals,
usually the same color as the larger petals of the ray floret that crown the flower. Most varieties of daisies are native to South America, Asia, and Africa,
but they have since adapted to virtually every climate. Today, they are one of the most widely sold cut flowers in the world. The popular varieties of daisies include:
- Shasta daisy: these have a yellow center with pristine white petals. These are the ones you picture on a meadow on a hot summer day
- Gerbera daisy or the African Daisy: this variety has a darker center and it can produce petals in bright tones yellow, orange, red, and purple.
- Barberton daisy: like the gerbera daisy, grows to produce radiant petals of different colors. It usually has a smaller disc, and it can sometimes produce pointed petals instead of rounded ones.
When is it most appropriate to give daisies?
The innocence and purity of children are best captured by a daisy, this is why it is one of the most common flowers to give to new mothers after childbirth. so As a perennial garden plant, they work wonders too, attracting butterflies and birds,
thereby creating a rich natural environment for children to grow up in. For less fortunate days, they can be brew into a tea to help relieve coughs and inflammations. Their leaves, rich in vitamin C, can even be add to salads for a nutritious meal.Flower Spotlight

Real Fresh Roses Flowers That Last a Year and More
Flower Spotlight: Roses
It is impossible to mistake roses, with their velvet petals infinitely curled against each other in hypnotizing symmetry, and their stems full of thorns, ready to protect their delicate flowers by pricking any prying fingers.
The British adopted the rose as their national flower, after a civil war lasting three decades, ended with a decisive victory on the battlefield, and the union by the marriage of the two families that had long been rivals. It is not surprising that over its long history, the rose has come to symbolize love, beauty, and courage.
What are the different kinds of roses?
There are over 300 roses, and over 10,000, that is, varieties are grown for specific desirable traits. Broadly they can be classified into three categories:
- Old Garden Roses: Sometimes referred to as “antique” or “historic” roses for having been around before 1867. Old garden roses bloom only once with intense fragrance. They know for being resistant to pests and adverse weather.
- Wild Rose: As their name suggests, these roses have undergone little hybridization or cross-breeding. They can easily be identifie by their five-petaled flowers that are usually pink.
- Modern Garden Roses: These kinds of roses bloom more often, some even continuously during the summer months, and they usually have larger flowers. The only downside is that their scent isn’t as strong, and they are more vulnerable to diseases.
What are the best conditions to grow roses?
Roses have a reputation for being difficult to grow, but that's not always the case. The Modern Garden Rose varieties have been bred to facilitate their cultivation, but it's still a good idea to plant them in their ideal conditions.
Replanting the dormant rose shrub is the most common way of getting them into your garden. Give them a good 2 - 4 ft of space between plants if you’re considering having more than one. They should ideally plant early spring in slightly acidic, fertile, and well-drained soil. Rose need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. If that's not possible, make sure they at least get the first rays of the morning - these will evaporate the dawn dew and protect them from any nasty fungal diseases.
When they bloom in the summer, they can do so in just about any kind of color:
red, pink, white, yellow, orange, even purple, and even mysterious black!
Why are rose grown?
The beautiful, scented foliage of roses makes them a must-have in any garden, but the flower is a lot more versatile than it seems. After the rose flowers have been pollinated, they slowly start to ripen into rose hips, which are eaten raw in many countries for their high vitamin-C content. In the Middle East, rose water and oil frequently use as an ingredient in several desserts;
and let's not forget that many perfumes and candles use it too.

Peonies are Forever
Legend has it that Zeus saved Paeon, the Greek goddess of healing, by turning her into a flower, the peony, after her teacher Asclepius, the god of medicine, went on a jealous rampage against her. While the exact origin is difficult to determine, we know for a fact that it has been a regular in gardens of Eurasia since the times of the ancient civilizations, often because it was used in the medicinal traditions of these cultures.
When talking about peonies, it is important to distinguish between the tree and the herbaceous varieties. The latter is the most common and well-known. Herbaceous means that the plant does not develop woody stems above the ground. For the tree varieties, it's the opposite, meaning that they can grow a little taller - up to 6 feet - in ideal conditions. Keep in mind, however, that although tree peony is the common name of the variety, it does not resemble a tree as we usually refer to it. In reality, they look like bright and colorful shrubs.
Within the tree and herbaceous peonies varieties, we can also draw distinctions according to the types of flowers they produce. In all cases, these varieties can bloom in many shades of pink, white, yellow, orange, red, and even purple:
- Single: one row of broad petals
- Bomb: a single row of broad petals encircles a dense pompon of narrower inward-facing petals
- Double: the flower only consists of many broad petals
- Semi-double: a double row of broad petals intertwines with the stamens
- Anemone: a double row of broad petals encircles a pompon of thin outward-reaching narrower petals
- Japanese: a single or double row encircles enlarged staminodes
Peonies are perennial plants, meaning that they can survive for more than two years. The herbaceous variety can propagate by dividing the roots when the plant is about to go into hibernation and replanting these 2 inches below the soil’s surface. Although the flowers only have a short blooming season of a little over a week, it is often said that if planted in an ideal location: in well-drained soil on a spot with at least 6 hours of sunshine per day, peonies can live for more than 100 years with minimum care.
These delicate and fragrant flowers symbolize love, romance, and beauty, possibly even more so than roses. Indeed it is not by mistake that they are by far the most popular flower at weddings.

How to Keep Cut Flowers Fresh at Home
How do you keep them fresh when you cut your flowers, whether from the florist, or market, or as a gift? Many people will plunk a penny into a water container with flowers in it. That does not simply work. We will show you what works and how you can keep your flowers fresh for longer at home.
Cut the Stem
A vascular system in the stems of flowers pulls water and nutrients for the blooms. Air can get into the stems if you don’t cut them. This can make it hard for the water to get in. Use very sharp scissors or pruning shears, and cut at least one-half inch off the bottom of the stems to make sure you’re cutting away any air bubbles that might be there. It’s a good idea to do this if your flowers come in a box or are tied with a rubber band.
Place Them in Water Quickly
Speed things up by cutting the stems under the water to keep air from getting into the stems. It’s also fine to put the flowers in a vase of water right away after you cut them. Put your bouquet together first. Then cut the stems and put them in a bowl of water.
Watch the Water Temperature
Don’t place flowers in hot water. Blooms from bulbs like anemones, daffodils, and tulips, survive if the water is below room temperature because they are winter flowers. Generally, the water should be at room temperature.
Remove Excess Foliage
If there are dead plants or extra leaves and flowers touching the water, remove them entirely from the water or the flower. Otherwise, they will rot quickly and spread bacteria that will make the flowers die off.
Avoid Sunlight
This may seem like a no-brainer, but when they are not in the soil, flowers should be kept in cool environments at all times, away from heating ducts and vents.
Change the Water
Change the water every three days and wash out the vase. That will flush out bacteria. You should also trim another half-inch off the stems while changing the water.
Use Flower Food
If your flowers come with “flower food,” you should feed them. Most flower food has sugar to help the flowers grow, acid to keep the water’s pH level stable, and a little bleach to get rid of bacteria and fungi in the vase water. All three help to keep the flowers alive for a longer time.
These tips will help you keep your flowers fresh for longer. Keep your floral decorations up as long as you want.
