Your fresh flowers may look a little thirsty when you arrive home, this is normal. Please follow these simple steps to care for your flower bouquet:
Prepare a clean vase or container with about 4 inches of fresh, cool water. If available mix in a little flower food to prevent bacteria and give added nutrients.
Remove your bouquet from the paper wrap. Remove any foliage from the flowers that will fall below the waterline of your container. This prevents the growth of mold or bacteria which can cause premature wilting.
Using sharp scissors or a knife, cut your stems diagonally, approximately one inch from the bottom of the stem. The angled cut allows for a larger surface area for water absorption.
Place your bouquet in water immediately after trimming the stems.
Keep your fresh flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts and excessive heat.
We recommend changing your water every 48-72 hours to help keep your flowers fresh. You can also give them a fresh trim when you change the water to keep them fully hydrated.
1. Remember exposing flowers to warm environments (outside, a hot room, sunlight, etc.) will help the flowers bloom, while storing your flowers in a cooler environment will slow down the opening process. Most flowers should be kept in a cool, dark location unless you are trying to speed up the blooming process. Always avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Also, keep flowers away from fruits, vegetables and/or plants which produce ethylene gas. Ethylene in the surrounding area could cause your flowers to wilt.
Peonies are shipped dry so please open your order immediately and follow these steps to hydrate your peonies and allow them time to bloom. If you have questions, comments or concerns about your peonies please contact us as soon as possible.
All set up for the Womenās Conference for #valspar this morning.

Vintage Inspired Love š
This sweet photo of a couple & their vw bug speaks volumes to us and why Posies just makes people smile. Simpler times, sweet enduring love, happiness, memories, talking to one another, neighbors, community, epic photo opportunities and of course we canāt forget flowers, beautiful amazing flowers.šø
We are just about ready for āOperation Cupidā and we canāt wait to share the love! We begin popping up Thursday @tampacitycenter and we cover as much ground (road) as we can from there. (www.findposies.com)
If you spot us zooming (ok, maybe putt putting) around town give us a love honk (not a scare the crap out of you honk, you know what we mean) and we will try to give you a honk or peaceāļøsign back. (Posies horn isnāt currently working, just in case we donāt toot back & a peace sign ā®ļø is given. Daisyās horn works great, better chances with her! š)
Thank you #tampabay and #beyond for taking this journey with us! We love you and canāt wait to see you!
