Thanks, Eileen, for sharing the information about ways to keep flowers fresh longer. I think my daughter has used those packets with good results.

For inspiration, browse florist shop Internet sites. Buy whatever is freshest. Make arrangements last longer by adding a packet of floral mix to the water. Next day, add a few drops of bleach to discourage mold. Change water after three days.

My biggest tip for floral arranging is to do everything in groups of three triangles. It draws the eye in on a focal point. Also make sure you balance some green or smaller background flowers like babies breath, with larger steal the show flowers for a balanced arrangement. I love arranging flowers in vases and creating dried and pressed floral arrangements:-) I’m so ready for the summer cutting season!

If you have a space, plant a curly willow tree. They grow rapidly, and the branches add a lovely wildness to a design.
