Growing Bonsai Trees- Bonsai trees have always been marvels of the botanic world. They alone offer the incredible visual of mighty trees at a miniature scale and are an ideal and rewarding challenge for anyone.

However, understanding the following key points before you start growing and tending your bonsai trees will allow you to move forward with long-term success.

• Tree Type

While practically any woody plant can be trimmed and tended to grow in a miniature form, there are certain trees such as weeping willow, japanese black pine, and chinese elm that have been bonsai tried and tested with incredible success. Purchasing one of these species as an already established bonsai tree can be a gentle introduction to bonsai care.

• Seed Source

If you are looking for a more challenging experience, you can grow your bonsai from seed. The sourcing of your bonsai seeds can greatly influence your chances of success. Look for trusted non-GMO seeds that come with instructions and guides, multiple seed varieties, and basic supplies. All of these factors ensure the high value, success and authenticity of your bonsai tree growing experience.

• Bonsai Tools

Finally, in order to properly tend to your bonsai tree you need the correct tools. For example, a set of precise trimmers or multi functioning sheers that can make delicate, clean cuts are absolutely key to the health of your bonsai. In fact, these tools should be at the top of your list because you cannot grow your bonsai without them!

Fortunately, at NBU Flowers we offer established bonsai trees, ideal seed source kits such as Loako or Nature’s Blossom, as well as 100% guaranteed bonsai toolkits. So don’t hesitate, move forward with confidence and become a bonsai tree growing master!

Thinking of You- It’s 2:00 pm on a workday. You’re at work typing away and your mind strays away to a certain someone. You haven’t been able to get a text or a call out to them, but your mind keeps running on them.  

So, what do you do?  Do you call and say “Hey! What’s going on? My mind has been on you recently.”Well, you can but that would look even better with a beautiful, vibrant bouquet of beautifully arranged flowers! What else could say how much you’re thinking of someone other than a beautiful bunch of vibrant flowers?

Why is buying flowers a gesture of “thinking of someone?”

This is a beautiful gesture when thinking of someone as flowers can bring a smile to anyone’s face.  Researchers have linked receiving flowers with a long-lasting positive mood.  If you’ve been thinking of that person, especially if they’re a long-time friend or relative chances are they might have been going through a bit of a rough time somewhere in their life. 

So, whether it be a vase full of fresh roses, lilies, daisies, or any other favorites, these are sure to bring a smile to your person that they can’t get rid of too easily!

Can I get someone a plant?

Oh absolutely! Plants are a great way to give longevity to that relationship with that special someone.  With it already potted, you have roots already growing within the plant and with the proper amount of care, you can continue to cultivate more plants over time! Along with learning to propagate your plant you can learn more about your plant over time

and slowly start to create your own little collection of green friends!

What’s better, a plant or a bunch of flowers?

This depends more on the type of person you are sending this to as well as how long you would like them to keep the flowers.  If you would like them to have some beautiful blooms for just about a week or two then the bunch of flowers freshly cut at the stem would be a perfect addition to their house or workplace.  However, if you want something a little more long-lasting and greener as opposed to floral, then a potted plant would be the way to go. 

This also depends on how much time you think that person will have to take care of the plant.  If they’re a rather busy person and always on the go traveling, a bouquet might be the best option as they will get to enjoy it for that time being, and then when they’re on the go, they will always have that memory of it as well as some beautiful pictures they took of those flowers!

Today’s the day!  Someone just had a baby! And you can’t wait to tell that person how excited you are for them! But what do you send them? You can’t just send a note or a letter?!
So do you send balloons? Do you send a teddy bear? You could but then there’s the pressure of did you send the right teddy bear. How about a nice congratulatory cake? But what if they don’t want cake? So much to contemplate! So, what do you do? You send a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers to their home!

Why send flowers?

Flowers are always such a sentimental touch during this time. The parents are tired after the delivery of the baby and now their life has changed forever, for the better.  They have just strengthened the bond behind their relationship by now adding an addition to their family.  Those flowers will give the parents that little boost of encouragement and joy to start every day refreshed and with a smile on their faces as they become accustomed to parenthood.

What do you write on the card?

There’s always a lot of pressure to write the perfect thing.  You want to always remember that the parents need your support and love during this time so any encouraging words will be appreciated.  Some examples are down below:

“Congratulations! We can’t wait to see the little one!”

“I’m so excited for you guys to embark on this lifelong journey together!”

“You guys must be glowing right now, and I just want you to know that you always have us.   We’re only a text or a call away.  We love you! “

So now the big question. What type of flowers to send?

You can base this on either the baby’s gender or what the new mom likes. If it’s a baby girl, any flowers with a shade of pastel, mainly pinks and purples would be ideal. 
For a baby boy, you could have shades of blue or yellow or a combination of the two. Typical flowers with these color patterns are carnations, lilies, tulips, or roses.  
If you know what type of flowers the new mom likes, you can incorporate those as well or even send another small bunch to her during this time to show how much you care for her.

Having a baby is always an exciting time in someone’s life so why not celebrate it with the sweet sentiment of beautifully arranged flowers.

Flowers can reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. So that will be a great idea to offer fresh flowers to the newly become mom and cheer the moment.

In fact, some people spend months planning the perfect floral arrangement for important occasions. The most important things to consider when choosing flowers are color and meaning.

Birthday Bouquets

If you are looking for the perfect gift to send to your loved ones on their birthday, consider sending them a beautiful flower arrangement as an impressive token of your love and affection. In this day and age, most people would rather receive gifts that they can actually use, instead of something that just ends up sitting at the corner of their room collecting dust. Flowers are always appropriate for birthday gift baskets, and not just roses. They make wonderful gifts because they make people feel appreciated.

If you want to give your family and friends the gift of flowers without the expense of a florist, you can simply create your own bouquet using silk flowers purchased from Walmart.

To use, just take a vase and some water, then arrange the fully opened blossoms in it. Fill the vase with water until it is approximately one inch below the rim. Allow the buds to soak overnight in order for them to fully open the next day. When you're ready to put your birthday bouquet on display, wrap a balloon around the neck of each flower and connect it to the stem of the vase using floral tape. Simple but effective, this arrangement can make your loved ones feel valued and cherished. They will love having a birthday bouquet from you, and it will be a wonderful reminder of the special day each time they see it.

Whether you grow a sprawling veggie garden or fill your yard with Hostas and Cleomes, all garden lovers experience the same phenomenon: small birds in your garden.

Indeed, you may be wondering: do small birds hinder or help the health of my garden?

To answer this, one must understand three things about small bird species:  

• Diet: The diet of small birds consists primarily of weed seeds, beetles, and other small insects.

• Offspring: Every spring bird parents have a clutch of multiple offspring.

• Lifespan: Most small birds live for more than 4 years.

And where is better for a small bird with these characteristics to position itself year after year, than close to a dependable garden? For instance, your garden surely offers a paradise of food and shelter. Healthy plants attract pesty (but tasty) insects and create rich soils filled with grubs. Sheltered ground, robust shrubs and tall trees offer ideal homes as well. And small weed seeds are a delightful treat for any small bird. 

In fact, when a small bird species moves into your garden space, the health of your garden is sure to improve!  

Why should you encourage small birds in your garden?

Because these small bird species are more than willing to engage in symbiosis. Truly, they can't help but help your garden. For starters, they will keep away larger, pesty bird species. Secondly, they serve as natural pest controllers that groom your garden constantly for tasty beetles and unwanted insects. Better yet, they can act as effective pollinators for your plants and eat up weeds waiting to germinate.

Without a doubt, your healthy garden will attract small bird species year after year. But don’t worry, these inhabitants can offer years of free, biological pest control and pollination assistance. So put that bird feeder tall and proud in the middle of your garden and welcome small bird species!
