‘Supporting the journey of critically injured kids on their road to recovery’

‘We believe that we have a responsibility to make a contribution in a measurable and practical way to assist this worthy cause to raise funds. We are delighted to help them achieve their goal of making a measurable difference in the lives of those young people who are affected by unfortunate circumstances’ said Ryan Primrose, Managing Director of Flowers For Everyone, on the launch of a very unique sponsorship arrangement between Flowers For Everyone and the Day of Difference Foundation.

Ryan went on to say . . . ‘the Day of Difference Foundation is a national children’s charity founded in November 2004 by the parents of little Sophie Delezio, who suffered unimaginable burns to 85% of her body in a terrible accident at her child care centre. Thanks to the skill and dedication of hospital staff, Sophie survived. But there are many more children like Sophie, who suffer critical injuries and need our help.

The Day of Difference Foundation provides much needed hospital equipment and facilities to save children’s lives, funds research into burns and skin technology and supports critically injured children and their families on their journey from emergency to recovery. The charity also advocates for the safety of children to help prevent injuries and through community education programs, promotes the acceptance of all children who are different.

Commenting on the company’s involvement in this fund raising sponsorship, Ryan Primrose went on to say . . . ‘Flowers For Everyone is honoured and very proud to support the Day of Difference Foundation by donating a percentage of the sales of the flowers available on a special web site we have set up for the Day of Difference Foundation and in this small way we are able to help to support the work of this very worth cause’

and brighten up your day.Always remove all wrapping from the stems of flowers.

Please follow the instructions below. . .

• Fill your vase half full with water and add 1/2 packet of the flower food provided. Cut approx 2 cm off the stems of your bouquet at a 45 degree angle and then add your flowers. Take care to remove any leaves from the stems, so there are none below the water level,to ensure that the water will not become contaminated and spoil your flowers.

• Remove your flowers from the vase every 2 days, rinse the vase
thoroughly and then add fresh water and the remaining flower food
before the flowers are placed back into the vase.

Arrangements in an oasis box, pot or basket

To ensure that your arrangement will last, always check the water
level daily so that the oasis is moist and will provide the nutrients to your flowers.

Take the vase out of the travel box provided for the safe arrival of your flowers and check the water level. Remove your flowers from the vase every 2 days, rinse the vase thoroughly and then add fresh water and the flower food, before the flowers are placed back into the vase.

Mothers are so Special!

2009-03-29T21:52:00.000-07:00

Your mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.

She's the smell of certain foods you remember, the flowers you buy and the perfume that she wore.

She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day.

She's the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter. . . she is crystallised in every tear drop.

A mother shows every emotion . . . happiness, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy and sorrow.

And all the while, hoping and praying you will only know the good things in life.

She's the place you came from, your first home and she's the map you follow with every you step you take.

She's your first love, your first friend, and even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space and not even death.

May we never take our mothers for granted.

Flowers For Everyone makes this Valentine’s Day last longer!

‘These tough economic times we are all facing in 2009 has not seemed to have reduced the demand for Valentine’s Day roses and flowers’ says Ryan Primrose, Managing Director of Flowers For Everyone – one of Australia’s leading online florists.

Ryan went on to say . . . ‘many of our customers tell us that they wish to remain positive and upbeat as well as give lot’s of love and pleasure to their special valentine with beautiful flowers to lift the spirits of loved ones.’

‘Not surprisingly red roses continue to be the most popular flowers for Valentine’s Day, but there is still demand for all the coloured roses and other types of seasonal flowers, as well as the customary box of chocolates, bottle of imported champagne and a Teddy Bear’.

During the summer months there is always a wide variety of flowers available to choose from, however, as it is normally very hot around Valentine’s Day you do need to care for your flowers, so Ryan Primrose has put together nine important tips to help your Valentine’s Day Flowers last longer last longer.

1. Buy the best flowers from the best florist

If you want your Valentine’s Day flowers to last and brighten your home or office for more than a day or two, buy your flowers from a qualified florist to ensure you get the best quality flowers or arrangement.

2. They will last if you care for them

When you have your flowers delivered or take them home or to the office, unless they come as an arrangement, make sure that you wash your vase and add fresh water before you cut the flowers and arrange them. If you have bought an arrangement always check the water level daily to ensure that the oasis is moist and so it will provide nutrients to your flowers.

3. The Vase

Your vase should be tall enough to cover up to half of the flower and greenery stems and remember you can always trim the stems to fit the size of your vase. The size of your vase doesn't matter as much as its cleanliness, so make sure it has been cleaned thoroughly, as any left over bacteria can shorten the life of flowers and always make sure that you thoroughly rinse any soapy residue out of the vase.

4. Prepare your vase

Fill your vase with enough cool water so that it will cover at 10 -15cms of the stems. You can use packaged flower and plant food sachets that will increase the life of your flowers and greenery, or you can use aspirin. If you use the aspirin simply crush two uncoated aspirin between two spoons and add to the water in the vase. Stir in your flower and plant food or aspirin into the water for a minute before adding your flowers.

5. Trim the ends of your flower and greenery stems

Before you place the flowers and greenery in a vase, immerse the stems in cool (room temperature) rather than cold or warm water, then after a few minutes of immersing them in the water trim each stem to the size that will fit your vase with a pair of sharp scissors.

Always make a diagonal cut (at a 45 degree angle) on the stems so that all of the ends are pointed, as increasing the surface area of the flower or greenery stem that is exposed to the water allows each stem to take in more water and they will last longer.

6. Remove excess greenery leaves

Greenery leaves submerged below the water line in you vase are major contributors to the development of bacteria in the water in the vase, and will most assuredly shorten the life of your flowers and greenery. Make sure you remove any leaves that are below the level of the water to reduce the risk of bacteria. If any leaves fall into the water whilst filling the vase, remove them immediately.

7. Keep the water in your vase fresh and clean

Remove your flowers and greenery from the vase every one to two days and add fresh water (with plant food and/or aspirin). If a layer of scum begins to develop on the walls of the vase at or below the water level, remove the flowers and greenery and clean out the vase with a mild soap and water. Then make sure that you rinse the vase thoroughly, and then add fresh water before the flowers and greenery are re arranged.

8. Keep your flowers away from heat

Always ensure that your flower arrangement is kept away from direct heat. Ideally move arrangements away from the areas where they will be exposed to direct heat from the sun and no ventilation. Where ever possible keep them in a shaded cool area of the home or office. If you home or office is air conditioned, it is likely that they will not last a long where fresh air ventilation is non existent.

9. Remove flowers and greenery that is wilting or dying

Check you flowers and greenery each day and remove any that may be wilting or dying, in this way the remaining flowers and greenery will last longer.
