The Proflower Difference
While the flowers may last longer, there is one important thing to remember. Flowers that come straight from the field will most likely arrive in bud form. This means that the flowers or blossoms, will be closed and tight, and it will take a few days for them to open up. So it is important that you order the flowers a little bit early, and then take care to put them in warm water with the flower preservative that came with them. The combination of warm water and flower preservative will help the flowers open up and be in their most beautiful stage.
And as the flowers will come delivered in a box, they may need a little help being arranged. If you do ever happen to receive a flowers that aren't quite arranged, ProFlowers offers some helpful tips. This video shows you how to assemble your flowers in a vase.
The important things to remember are: remove outside petals on roses, cut the stems at an angle with a sharp knife or flower cutters, and add flower preservative to the water. The flower preservative is found in a small packet with the flowers. Removing the outside petals of roses is easy. They are tougher than the inside, and often times are a bit bruised or torn, so they are easily identifiable. Just gently pull them down and break them off.
