Making flower bouquets can be as easy or hard as you make it.
bou·quet
noun
An attractively arranged bunch of flowers, especially one presented as a gift or carried at a ceremony.
The first thing I do is cut everything that is ready to cut. I try and cut deep into the plant so it will grow another nice long stem.
The next step for me is to bring all the cut flowers inside to rest in the cool air. Some day I hope to have a cooler so I can hold flowers for a longer period of time.
Using the counter, I separate the different varieties of flowers.
Making bouquets is really messy. As I add the flowers to my bouquet, I am stripping off all the bottom leaves. You do not want leaves in your water, this causes bacteria and your flowers will die quicker.
A typical market bouquet that I make has about 15 stems. This includes flowers and foliage.
Here is a snap shot of my flower stand.
Happy me. Snapdragons are truly a favorite.
