I love getting a big\u00a0bouquet\u00a0with a nice vase and a little card. I usually always get a bunch on Valentine&#8217;s Day and Mother&#8217;s Day. If I&#8217;m lucky I also get some flowers on my birthday. This year, for Mother&#8217;s Day, I got a lovely bouquet from the kids and my husband. I love the arrangement. It has\u00a0gorgeous\u00a0yellow\u00a0lilies\u00a0and violet and\u00a0lavender\u00a0additions to compliment the yellow.<\/p>\n<p>I want to make sure that my flowers last for awhile so I&#8217;m taking special\u00a0precautions\u00a0as I care for them. I&#8217;ve given them plant food and fresh water. Once the water gets dirty I&#8217;ll change it and\u00a0refill\u00a0the vase with clean water. I&#8217;m making sure to keep the arrangement away from any heat source as well. So even though they might look great above my television set, I don&#8217;t want the heat to age the flowers prematurely. I sprayed the flowers with a floral preservative to help keep them as fresh as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I know that if I follow these precautions, my floral arrangement should last awhile and I&#8217;ll be able to enjoy them for a few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s always nice to get flowers delivered to you.
