Red Christmas Poinsettia	Pink Christmas Poinsettia	White Christmas Poinsettia

Buy these Poinsettias:

Choose a poinsettia plant with dark green foliage down to the soil line.
Choose poinsettia plants with bracts (modified leaves) that are completely colored.
The poinsettia should look full, balanced and attractive from all sides.
The poinsettia plant should be 2 1/2 times taller than the diameter of the container.
Check the poinsettia's maturity. Check the true flowers which are located at the base of the colored bracts. If the flowers are green or red-tipped and fresh looking the bloom will "hold" longer than if yellow pollen is covering the flowers.

Grower Direct vs Florist Arranged Flowers

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 04:47:04

Florists earn the money they make by providing you with both products and services. The flowers are their product and arranging them, storing them and delivering them are some of the services.

Growers provide you with a product, the flowers and materials to arrange them. Delivery is done by a shipping company such as FedEx. Delivering with a shipping service means a much wider coverage area for grower direct deliveries than traditional florists.

Selling flowers through a wire service or order taking service is a legitamate way to do business. Many top growers and florists use this business model.

However, deceiving customers into thinking they are ordering from a local florist is not legitamate.

Florists are the traditional link the public has with the floral business. Most local florists are small businesses with well under $1 million per year in sales. They care for and store flowers, take orders, make floral arrangements, make deliveries and all the hundreds of other tasks required to run a business.

In addition to having a large variety of technical and business skills, a successful florist must also be highly artistic.

When buying directly from a local florist you have 3 options:

Buy flowers by visiting a florist's shop
Buy flowers by phoning the florist's shop
Buy flowers by visiting the florist's web site

Choosing a Florist The Right Fit

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 04:47:04

The Society of American Florists recommends:

Look for a floral shop that offers the product mix, level of service and design style that fit your needs.

But what does this mean?

Choosing a Florist Personal Attention

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 04:47:04

The Society of American Florists recommends:

Personal Attention: Choose a florist who will get to know you, keep track of your floral preferences and send reminders of upcoming special occasions.

There are many benefits of getting personal attention from a florist. Florists have a wealth of knowledge about flowers and can help you make the right choices when buying flowers.

Different florists have different ways of running their business. Some florists specialize in arrangements and projects that require spending a great deal of time with each customer. Other florists specialize in elegant arrangements that can be made quickly and that will be pleasing to anyone.

Obviously, you will have different needs if you are planning a wedding than if you are just picking up some flowers for a spur of the moment gift.
