Meet Your Beautiful Flowers

The late summer bouquet contains six carefully chosen late summer blooms, each with its own story, scent, and expected vase life.

 

Hydrangea paniculata

Vase life: 7-10 days
These cone-shaped clusters start creamy white and age to soft pink. Originally from Asia, they symbolize heartfelt emotions and represent the gratitude we feel in meaningful relationships.

 

Delphinium

Vase life: 4-7 days
Named after the Greek word for dolphin due to their unique shape, these tall blue spikes represent big-hearted nature and cheerfulness. Their vibrant color adds dramatic height to any arrangement.

 

Dahlia

Vase life: 5-7 days
Mexico's gift to gardens worldwide, dahlias bloom in nearly every color except true blue. Their perfect symmetrical petals symbolize elegance and lasting commitment.

 

Jasmine

Vase life: 5-7 days (vine and foliage)
These small, star-shaped white flowers pack an incredibly sweet fragrance. Known as the "Queen of the Night," jasmine represents grace, elegance, and eternal optimism. The trailing vine adds beautiful texture and greenery to the arrangement.

 

Black-eyed Susan

Vase life: 7-10 days
Part of the sunflower family, these golden blooms with dark centers symbolize encouragement and motivation. These hardy wildflowers bring sunshine to any day.

 

Scabiosa 'Candy Scoop'

Vase life: 5-8 days
Also called pincushion flowers for their protruding stamens, these delicate ruffled blooms in soft pastels attract butterflies and represent gentle, enduring love.

 

Extend Your Vase Life

Daily Care:

  • Check water level and top up as needed
  • Mist delicate flowers like jasmine lightly
  • Rotate vase occasionally for even light exposure

Extending Life:

  • Re-cut stems every few days
  • Remove any leaves below waterline
  • Consider splitting into smaller arrangements as blooms fade at different rates

Special Notes:

  • Hydrangeas are thirsty - they may need extra water
  • Jasmine fragrance is strongest in evening hours
  • Black-eyed Susans may continue opening new buds for several days

 

Enjoy your beautiful bouquet!
