Florets - Floral Quote' is a series of blog posts where I feature quotes by authors - mostly well known but you will also find some obscure ones.
All of them have written one or several books about flowers, gardening, interior styling or interior design. Many are experts in their field but what is the most important is that they are all passionate about flowers.
I love books and in my ever growing library I look for quotes that I hope will be both helpful and useful for everybody who is arranging and styling flowers.
" Fragrant Freesia can be bought as a single or double flower; the double last longer. I like to buy Freesia when the bottom flower is about to burst open and there is good colour showing on two further buds, which should be plump. The end buds on the raceme will not open, so if they look untidy, shrivelled or opaque, simply nip them out with the fingers."
