That’s the powder in the packet that comes with your flowers,” he said. “Be sure you’re cutting your flowers with a knife. Scissors will pinch the stems and reduce water conductivity.”If the flowers look a little tired after their trip home, just put them in water while you complete the arrangement to refresh them.Medium-sized arrangementsDelPrince began with a medium-sized arrangement in a moss-covered rectangular basket made in Mississippi. Asiatic lilies and spray chrysanthemums are the stars in this grouping, in which he placed a well-moistened piece of florist’s foam. The flowers’ stems were lightly whittled to gentle points for ease in insertion.“When you have lilies like these, remove the anthers; just cut them o... http://www.sunherald.com/living/article91606657.html
