Elevate basic bouquets with tips from a Biloxi professional - The Sun Herald

Just look outside.Jim DelPrince, floral design specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service in Biloxi and an associate professor, recently gave some grocery store bouquets a fancy boost with some unexpected touches he found on and near the grounds of the Extension Service as well as some leftover accents from other projects.DelPrince, who has worked with Mississippi State for 19 years, teaches classes to amateur designers as well as professionals.One of the first steps is to give your grocery store flowers as much TLC as possible.“You want to recut the stems and put the flower food in the water. 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
