Perfect Gina! You are right! Truly educating the consumer about flower care is an important part of my business! Thanks for that comment!

Lyn: Some inspiring information! The next step–past promoting organic stems–is to simply get the consumer buyer better educated on how to care for their blooms. If they know how to properly trim stems and change the water in their containers–not to mention adding floral preservative–their blooms will last longer. And when their flowers last longer, then consumers will stop thinking of them as such a luxury and start buying them for “everyday” consumption. That will truly help the floral industry grow!

Oh so lovely! Most people don’t know violets are edible! They are going crazy around here and they are perfect in ice cube trays to add some flowers to your drink! Candied they are yummy!

Brides in the United States can find great local flowers by visiting the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers website. http://www.ascfg.org. There are local flower growers in every region and state.

Thanks for the post…and thanks for growing organic flowers. One of my favourite Spring flowers for decorating is violet! I make candied violets and bring them out in the Winter when it’s snowing and blowing and it’s like having a burst of Spring in the middle of Winter!
