Let’s Look At - Selecting Fresh Flowers . . .

The internet has made it possible to explore and buy flowers from all over the world!  

In the 1970’s, fresh cut flowers were introduced in grocery stores of the United States. Some selections offered in the grocery stores include roses, carnations, pompoms, lilies, and Baby’s Breath. These are offered because of the availability, longevity, and price options. Also available are bouquets of mixed flowers.

Many know that flowers are available in most grocery stores, but don’t forget to check out your local florist. Many florists offer single stem purchases. Several of these flower choices are usual but look for selections that are different. Some florists pride themselves on offering the unexpected in flower selections. Selections may include tropical, dried, cacti, or exotic. Any one of these varieties would be wonderful in an arrangement or single in a vase.
