Stay local
By choosing a truly local florist you are not only helping the local economy, but you are likely to receive more detailed information about your order, increased peace of mind, and certainly a better price. There are so many positive reasons to order your flowers through a local Geelong florist that it is almost essential to getting the best service. You also get the warm feeling of supporting your local traders instead of giving your hard earned cash to those large national money collectors.
Preservation is the key
Water drying is a popular method that can be used to preserve fresh flowers. Here, stems of the flowers are initially placed in a couple of inches of water, the water is allowed to evaporate and absorbed by the cut flowers. The container and flowers should be in a dry, warm and dark location. Hydrangeas, yarrow, bells-of-Ireland and celosia dry well with this method.
A lot of people enjoy drying and preserving flowers as a hobby. Even with the increased popularity of synthetic flowers, many people still prefer to see natural flowers preserved in a lifelike manner. Maybe the professionals who get your flowers delivered Melbourne CBD will disagree, but dried flowers can certainly look as good as their fresh counterparts when properly preserved. There is nothing more relaxing on a sunday afternoon than sitting at your kitchen table doing a spot of flower preserving.
Food for thought

Floral food is a combination of ingredients that help to nourish the flowers and discourage bacteria growth in the water. It is one of the best… and easiest ways to extend the life of your flowers.
