Bouquet Spark Inspiration

A single large flower can become the center of attention in a small room, on a desk, or in a relaxation area. Such a bouquet is appropriate as a gift for February 14th — it speaks of feelings with restraint and yet with certainty. One flower is also suitable for a personal gesture: to give to a loved one, a colleague, or someone who appreciates laconic floristry.

To keep a cut hydrangea looking its best longer, trim the stem at an acute angle and place it in clean room-temperature water, changing it every two days. It is also helpful to spray the bloom with a mister — hydrangea loves moisture and responds to it with fresh petals.
