DIY Flower Tips and Inspiration - # 5 - Freesia

This time 'Do-It-Yourself  Flower Tips and Inspiration' is all about the lovely flower Freesia.

• When you buy Freesia look for plump buds and make sure at least one flower is open or about to open.
• The flowers open from the bottom of the stems towards the top.
• Not all the buds will open up along the raceme - to stimulate buds further down to open - you can remove some of the smallest buds at the very top of the flower stem. You can easily snip them off with a pair of scissors.
• Also remove any wilted flowers to encourage further flowering.
• Freesia are sensitive to ethylene gas so don't put them near any ripening fruit.
• Freesia comes in many different colours - pure white, lemon, yellow, orange, gold, amber, pale pink, deep pink, lilac, pale purple and purple.
• They last for about 5-7 days.
• Buy some and enjoy their wonderful scent! 

Have a Great Floral Day!

I'll see you later in the week with more Do-It-Yourself flowers from 'Of Spring and Summer'.
