What happened yesterday...

we got it so many flowers yesterday for mother's day its not even funny. pretty much all i did yesterday was process flowers. processing basically entails getting the flowers out of the fedex box and putting them on the table. then undoing the wrapping around each bunch. we fill up buckets full of water and hydrating solution. then we get to the hard part, cutting all the stems. we cut them between 1-2 inches from the bottom to make sure we get rid of the air pockets. and then take off all the leaves that would be underneath the water because the leaves mold really fast. we spray them with a special solution that reduces the transpiration out of the leaves and blooms; that way they last longer. each flower has its own processing technique but that is the general care and handling of flowers.

i made one arrangement of 3 roses to go out right before we closed. that's all the arranging i did today. and these are some new gerber daisies! i just love the color!!! :)

this is a nasty picture of what my nails looked like at the end of the day. SICK huh?! welcome to the glamourous life of a florist! haha
