Making a fresh bouquet of flowers can be fun and simple, especially when you have the rainbow in mind. But there are endless possibilities as you think about a perfect, multicolor flower bouquet.

So, in order to make the process of choosing different colored flowers easier, here are a few great suggestions.

Choosing Rainbow Flowers

• Red: This color is ideally represented by Red Roses. However, you can also choose a bold stem of red Snapdragons or Dianthus for beautiful color.

• Orange: the classic plant choice for orange is the Tiger Lily. Its bright petals are ideal in a multi-color bouquet or solo. Another perfect option is orange Carnations.

• Yellow: Choose delicate Buttercups or the timeless Sunflower. Both will bring a sunny smile to the face of the receiver.

• Green: Add in a Fern frond, a blooming Calla Lily, or leaves of any plant for green texture in your best rainbow flower bouquet.

• Blue: The Cone Flower and Hyacinth are ideal blue additions to a colorful flower bouquet. Simple, with just enough color to increase contrast.

• Indigo: Irises are your best bet when it comes to the color indigo. The richly colored petals will wow and dazzle with their deep color.

• Violet: For a more elegant arrangement choose Cyclamen, a unique flower worthy of royalty. Or, you can mix in beautiful homegrown Lilac for a gentle accent.

There we have it, some of the best flower options when arranging a colorful bouquet. Pick two or three colors (or the whole rainbow!) and let this list guide and inspire you while making your rainbow floral design.

Growing wildflowers is a wonderful idea. Not only because wildflowers provide dynamic and seasonal beauty, but also because they are some of the best pollinator-friendly plants. In fact, if you want to start a pollinator garden, mixing in wildflowers is the surest way to make your garden enjoyable to a large range of pollinators.

Wildflowers Seeds in Bulk

Your first step in growing wildflowers is to buy seeds. Fortunately, there are many bulk seed sources, with some offering special wildflower seed mixes that contain shade tolerant plants as well as perennial plant mixes. You can even create a focused wildflower garden and grow seed mixes that support specific endangered pollinators, such as monarch butterflies.

How to Grow Wildflowers in a Garden?

Growing wildflower in your outdoor garden requires three simple steps:

1. Choose an area that corresponds with the growing requirements and soil type of the wildflowers chosen.
2. Clear any choking grass and weeds from this area and then follow planting instructions on the seed packet.
3. Continue to weed and water your outdoor garden weekly, practicing patience while the wildflowers grow!

How to Grow Wildflowers in Pots?

What if you only have a small balcony or porch but still want to enjoy the beauty of wildflowers?

No worries, you can successfully grow wildflowers in pots! Simply follow these steps:

1. Choose large and deep pots with good drainage, such as this self-draining 10” pot. This will help you avoid root rot and ensure the most room for strong root growth.
2. Fill pots with rich, fertilized soil or an indoor potting mix.
3. Don’t overseed your pot. Start off planting 10-12 wildflower seeds per large pot for starters.
4. Water your wildflowers diligently and make sure they get at least a few hours of sunlight daily.

Don’t hesitate, start growing wildflower today!

When you are putting together a flower bouquet or ordering flower arrangements for your event, you may be stuck on what floral colors look good together or what floral colors will nicely complement your event theme.

Don’t sweat it, here at NBU Flowers, your best florist finding and all things flowers site, we have some hints for choosing and mixing floral colors. And we want to share them with you!

What Two Colors Look Good Together?

The rule if you are only planning on having two different colors in flower bouquets, is to choose directly complementary colors. For example, if your event theme is blue, pick floral arrangements with mixes of blue

and yellow blooms, or for a more beautiful contrast, shoot for flower arrangements with two different shades of yellow flowers.

Three Colors that Look Good Together

Adding more color by opting for floral arrangements of three colors is ideal. You can get very creative, exploring different shades and color layers. Remember: the enjoyable and eye-catching contrast of complementary colors proves, so stick with that idea. For example, a business launch party with a green theme can support by floral arrangements of soft pinks and deep purples with lush green accents.

Four Colors that Look Good Together

If you decide to go with floral arrangements having four different flower colors, make sure one of those colors is white. Having a simple white rose, lily, or aster in your floral arrangement will soften and balance the other three colors. Think of orange, soft blues, and browns together with white or, a mix of white, violet, yellow, and blues.

If you’re still unsure about getting started, try your hand with this designer's choice mixed bouquet,

and enjoy the best personally crafted floral arrangements for your upcoming event.

CORONAVIRUS HELPING LOVED ONES DURING RECOVERY: It is necessary to get adequate information about the COVID-19 virus and take all the required safety measures to prevent the spread and flatten the curve. But in the unfortunate event that someone you know comes down with COVID-19, the time-tested thing to do,

as advised by the World Health Organization (WHO), is to self-isolate until recovery. You should also take responsibility to test if you have been in close quarters with the infected person.

CORONAVIRUS Effect And Recovery

During the period of isolation, it has been reported that people sometimes feel mental and psychological stress from being detached from family and loved ones. As a result, it is essential to explore safe ways to keep the spirit up. Kind gestures like long video calls, Netflix parties, playing online games with them, etc., help, if not less daunting, make the process more bearable. These activities will bring the needed comfort and reduce the anxiety of the recovery period.

Sometimes you may not have the luxury of time; another kind gesture is sending them gifts they would love and appreciate. Presents can go a long way in passing a strong message of your genuine love and concern about their health, whether they are young or elderly. Ideally, gifts that remind them of happy moments you shared--vacations, trips, and even memorable night-outs. Books are also a great idea. Sending them books you know they would love or have stated their interest in reading. It goes a long way in showing your thoughtfulness and care. Send inside jokes and even make new ones,

Let the loved one in your life who’s isolated know that you’re thinking of them. It would mean everything.

Your act of care cannot be overestimated. It can help create a stronger bond by dealing with and getting through the period together. You can show care by offering fresh flowers as well.

There are so many different products out on the market that it can be hard to know which ones are actually essential. Of course, needs will vary depending on the situation, type of garden, etc., but these are all important basics - having the right tools can decrease the amount of effort needed to get things done right, and can even prevent damage to your plants.

Useful Garden Tools

First things first - Gloves. There are some tasks where I prefer to go without them, but overwhelmingly I use and appreciate my gloves. You want to get a good pair that is durable but not bulky and flexible for easy movement. Water resistance is another very helpful quality, and longer cuffs can prevent soil from getting into them.

Pruning shears need for pruning, obviously. Many plants require some level of pruning to bloom better and keep in peak condition. There are many different kinds of shears; some are better for dead wood, some are better for live green wood, and some have increased strength…so pay attention! All of them should sharpen regularly to avoid causing damage. Along the same lines are loppers, which are essentially larger and longer shears used for thicker branches and deeper spaces that are harder to reach.

For working soil, garden forks help loosen dirt. so There are a few different shapes, curved, straight, and square. Curved is great for looser material like mulch or compost;

straight works with digging into harder or more dense dirt; and square is better for soil that’s full of rocks and roots. Hand trowels are often used for digging out weeds and digging holes for smaller plants... Spades, or square shovels, are very versatile. They move dirt, dig larger and deeper holes for larger plants, edge to reshape beds, lift sod; there are many different kinds of these available as well,

with a variety of sizes and materials offered.

Beginner or professional, you can’t go wrong with any of these garden basics!

How Often to Fertilize Indoor Plants? Tending to all your indoor plants involves more than just picking pots with drainage holes and keeping up with watering schedules. Every indoor plant also requires regular fertilization to ensure continued and healthy growth. 

What is Fertilizer?

In a nutshell, fertilizer is plant food. Other than sunlight and water, all plants also require certain nutrients in order to grow strong roots and shoots. The most common are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Without surprise, these nutrients are abundant in the earth, and when a plant is growing in the ground it can tap into these available nutrients as needed.

Why Your Indoor Plant Needs Fertilizer?

However, when a plant is growing in a pot, the amount of these nutrients in the soil decreases. Your growing houseplant eats them up and there is no way to replenish them. No worries, that's where you, a responsible plant parent, come in!

Manually adding these three important nutrients to the potting soil of your indoor plant ensures they are always available to your plant and will support its yearly growth.

The best fertilizer for indoor plants contains a balanced mix of the aforementioned important nutrients,

and offers steady nutrient release to your growing indoor plant.

Fertilizing Indoor Plants

So, how to properly fertilize indoor plants: During warm weather, adding fertilizer every month is ideal. This will boost the health and growth of your plant by offering nutrients during the plant’s natural growing season. During the winter months, however, your indoor plant is not in its growing phase so you can get by adding nutrients once every two months.

Now you are in the know! So be the best plant parent and choose a fertilizer that allows for gradual soil enrichment, such as Miracle-Gro’s Indoor Plant Food Spikes or Osmocote’s Smart Release Plant Food, both of which are available from the NBU Flowers product page.
