Standing on a threshold

As our Facebook page receives appreciation from over 200 people, and we send out our 51st order, we wish to thank all our well-wishers.
A warm, heartfelt Thank You, to all of you who've been kind in receiving us warmly in your list of contacts and remembering us each time you thought of flowers, on every occasion when you needed to gift something unique, personal, elegant, cordial, sweet, sober, soft, soothing, beautiful, cute, big or small. Yes, that's the range of adjectives we've heard and used while processing orders!

On this note, we wish to present some pictures which speak of our work. If flowers can have candid moments, then we think we have something to show you:

Diaper Bouquet

This afternoon, one of our first few customers called to say his 3 month old nephew was coming home to Kolkata from elsewhere. His 'chachu' was very excited and wanted to send something to welcome the little baby home.
FloraDeli designed a Diaper Bouquet. Maybe the flowers will not live until the boy gains a better understanding of te world. But we wanted to make a mark on his parents' hearts so that this memory would stand out in their minds. And we did! The results are as below:

Care and Concern

 If you're a person who loves flowers and wants to hold on to them for as long as possible, this guide is exactly what you need.

FloraDeli, brings together a step-by-step guide to help you in maintaining the health of the little bright and colourful flowers that adorn your home.

• You must put the stems or the bouquet in water, to ensure longevity. However, each time the stems are exposed to air, the pores get blocked. Hence, it is best you cut a little bit of the stem, even if it looks fresh. You must hold the stem in the water, if possible and cut with a sharp scissor, diagonally. If you're looking at a bouquet, then it might be impossible to hold the stems in water, and thus your only solution is to cut them one by one and place them in a vase as quickly as possible. However, there is no alternative for a sharp pair of scissors because a blunt one crushes the ends, doing more harm than good.

                                                       

• The best preservative for flowers, is sugar. Yes, the same ingredient that appeals to you in chocolates and cakes, takes care of your flowers too! However, put in just about half a teaspoon sugar for a dozen flowers, because you have to change the water the next day.

• That brings us to our next point: Change the water in the vase. Flowers should not be allowed to stand in the same water for more than 36 hours. It is most advisable to change the water at the end of 24 hours.

                                                 

                                                   

• Once, in the vase, the flowers should be placed in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. Most importantly, it shouldn't be directly under the fan, because the wilting process gets facilitated by the fan!

• You must trim the bouquet regularly, and cut or pluck out the flowers or leaves that wilt, lest it might contaminate its 'friends'

• Some flowers need special care. For example, when lilies blossom the colour of the anther is a stark contrast to the petals. It sure does look good, but it is best to pluck the anthers, lest they stain the petals and cause harm. Carnations should be placed in lukewarm water, so that the blossomed beauty lasts longer!
