Floriculture display tips:
- Always look for flowers that are only ¼ to ½ open.
- Cut flowers in late evening or early morning and immerse stems in cool water with a preservative. Keep cool until displaying.
- Display in container to fi t the style of arrangement. If showing a single or multiple flowers in a vase, try to use a clear or colored vase. Use appropriate size container for your display. If you need appropriate size vase, check with your local florist. They may be able to help you.
- When displaying, spray a mist over flowers to retain form and shape after cutting until time of judging to help flower retain moisture.
