Okay, you could run out and purchase a CD by the band Green Day, but you can only listen to one CD for so long and it won't provide added benefits like cleaner air in your home and a beautiful home decorating element. To keep the beauty of green in your life, why not add a lovely green or flowering plant to your home décor? Now, for a florist, choosing the right healthy plant for your home seems pretty easy. But, I know that there are many people out there who feel they have a brown thumb. For them, the thought of picking a plant that will work well in the space they have available and then caring for it to keep it looking gorgeous and green can be positively frightening. The easiest way to ensure you're choosing a healthy plant is to visit your florist and ask for help. However, if you choose to strike out on your own and find the green plant of your dreams, there are some things you should look for: * Look for signs of insects. If the plant is infested with bugs, you probably don't want to bring it into your house. And, since the insects are probably living off the plant, it may die quickly or develop an unhealthy appearance such as brown spots or holes in the leaves. Look at stems, leaves, and the undersides of leaves. Don't forget to check the potting soil for insects as well. * Avoid plants that show symptoms of disease. If leaves appear yellow, brown, or crunchy, leave the plant on the shelf. Look also for brown spots on leaves and stems. Look for plants that are full, sturdy, and have an overall healthy color and appearance. * Don't buy plants whose leaves are too shiny or that have been extensively pruned. Leaves that have an unnaturally shiny appearance have been treated with a chemical to make them appear more lustrous. This could be masking signs of disease and may lead to ill health of the plant as the chemicals sink in. Also, if the plant appears to have been pruned to a high degree, it's probably not very healthy. Store employees may have clipped off leaves and stems that showed disease. * Buy plants that show evidence of new growth. If the plant is a flowering plant, choose one with a few opened flowers and lots of new buds. If you purchase one that is already heavily flowered, it's blooming period may be nearing the end of the cycle and you won't have the opportunity to enjoy the flowers for very long. New buds and leaves show that the plant is healthy and growing. Of course, choosing a healthy plan won't be the only key to your plant growing success. You'll also need to choose plants that are best suited to the light available in your home and understand how to provide the best care for the plant. That's why I recommend that novice plant owners seek the assistance of their local florist who will be able to choose plants that will grow well, are easy to care for, and will be able to provide some information about how often to feed and water the plant. And, they're always just a phone call away if questions

Historical evidence shows that women living in the South honored soldiers by placing some sort of decorative items on their graves, as is indicated by the 1867 hymn by Nella L. Sweet titled Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping and is dedicated to the ladies of the South who are decorating the graves of the Confederate dead. Though it's not clear what the decorations were, we can reasonably assume they placed flowers on the grave as we do today. Such honoring of the dead inspired a day of remembrance that we call Memorial Day, which extends our appreciation and admiration to all soldiers who died in the service of their country since the time of the Civil War. Memorial Day is often a busy day for florists because so many people recognize the tribute that a beautiful bouquet or arrangement of flowers pays to those who have passed in times of war. When you plan to order flowers for a loved one's grave, it's a good idea to call a few weeks in advance to place the order. This will ensure that your florist will have the amount and types of flowers you'd like to include on hand. You'll need to indicate that the flowers are for placement in a cemetery and that they are for Memorial Day. Your florist will be able to create an appropriate arrangement that can be easily placed on a grave and withstand outdoor conditions for a reasonable amount of time. Memorial Day arrangements often use flowers that are red, white, and blue to commemorate the service the person has given to our country. Carnations are a popular choice because they are long lasting and available in the proper colors. However, your Memorial Day flowers don't have to be limited to red, white, and blue or to the common graveside wreath. You can order the fallen soldier's favorite flower and simply tuck in a small flag to signify the arrangement is for Memorial Day. Or, you can order a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers and ask that they be bound with ribbons in our country's colors. Your florist may even carry ribbons with special script on them for Memorial Day. If you're hesitant to place fresh flowers on the grave because you won't be available to remove them when they fade, ask your florist to create a silk arrangement. Although florists work chiefly with fresh flowers, many create beautiful artificial flower arrangements as well. Using artificial flowers will allow the arrangement to remain beautiful until you or someone else can return to retrieve them. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

But, if you enlist some help from your local florist, no matter how complicated life gets, you can be sure that you'll always have the perfect gift for every occasion. Many florists offer a reminder service to let you know when a special occasion, like a birthday or anniversary is coming up. Talk to your florist and ask how you can enroll in this service. Often there is no charge involved and you're not obligated to purchase flowers for every occasion you're reminded of. Get to know your florist so you feel comfortable talking about what's coming up and what you'd like to send. Your florist may track the flowers you send for each event as a part of the reminder service so that you don't send the same arrangement twice and to help you remember which gifts had the greatest impact. Tracking flower purchases will also help your florist to make appropriate suggestions based on the likes and dislikes of those who are receiving them as well as your purchasing preferences. When you enroll in a reminder service, your florist may ask you to answer some questions regarding those people you place on your list to receive flowers. Questions might include: * What colors does the person like most? * What colors does he/she like the least? * Are there any flowers or colors that should never be used? * What are the person's hobbies or interests? (This can help your florist come up with unique gift ideas, such as an arrangement in an old football for a sports fan.) * What type of personality does he/she have? (This helps determine style preferences. For example, someone who is very outdoorsy is likely to appreciate flowers with a more natural feel using seasonal grasses and twigs as accents.) If your florist doesn't offer this service, you can be sure to never miss an event by taking the time to constantly update your calendar with new events. Check your calendar at the beginning of every month so you're aware of what's coming. You can order flowers weeks in advance and have them delivered on the desired date, so it's possible to take care of all your gifts for the month with just one phone call-no magic needed! - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

You rack your brain and try to come up with something that will say what you're feeling, strike a personal chord, and be a fun gift that the recipient will really enjoy. Your special someone's passion is Nascar racing, but a shirt, hat, or other memorabilia alone seems so overdone. What can you do? Try presenting that Nascar gift with a new and exciting twist-send it with flowers. Flowers are an exceptionally versatile gift that brings a smile to the face of anyone who receives them. The smile power of flowers has actually been proven in a study conducted at Rutgers University, the State University of New Jersey. The study showed that people who received flowers exhibited more authentic smiles than those who received other items as gifts. If that's the case, certainly if you combine beautiful flowers with a theme that you know the recipient loves, your gift will have a huge impact and make a lasting impression. It might seem like Nascar and flowers are two things that just can't mix, but that's not true at all. Flowers have the unique ability to say anything you want them to and an artfully designed flower arrangement can incorporate any theme or item. Talk to your florist about what you'd like to achieve with your arrangement. Don't be afraid to discuss your ideas and needs-your florist is a professional and will have some great ideas to take your creativity to the next level. To get you started, here are some Nascar themed flower ideas: * Have your florist create an arrangement using the colors of the car driven by the recipient's favorite Nascar driver. * Tuck checkered flags or pennants into the arrangement. * Include a toy replica of a Nascar automobile. * Have the arrangement designed in a Nascar mug or other Nascar container. * Create a basket of Nascar goodies and flowers. Place Nascar items (cups, hats, cars, shirts, etc.) in one side of a basket and have your florist create an arrangement in the other side. * Tuck tickets to the next big race into the arrangement. You'll need to supply some or all of the Nascar themed items to your florist, but regardless of what the item is that you bring in, your florist is sure to have some great ideas for how to use it as a part of a stunning arrangement that will keep your Nascar fan talking for years. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

Would she pick bold, bright colors arranged in a linear design? Or, would she choose soft pastels in a loose bouquet? Regardless of the kinds of flowers and designs she chose, the resulting arrangement would say a lot about her personality. That's because people with certain personality traits are generally drawn to certain styles of flowers. One of the best things about flowers is that they can become very personalized gifts if you just take into consideration the personality of the individual who will receive them. Everyone enjoys getting gifts, but the truth is that some gifts mean so much more than others. The gifts we remember the most are the ones that really wow us with their thoughtfulness and reflection of how well the giver knows us. That doesn't seem to be any mystery to any of us. In fact, a recent survey commissioned by the Society of American Florists indicates that when most Americans buy gifts, they place a high priority on picking gifts that are specific to the personality of the recipient. When choosing a gift of flowers, think about what the person who will receive them is like. Consider his or her favorite colors, flowers, and hobbies. Think, too, about what you want the flowers to say. Discuss this information with your florist who will help you choose just the right flowers to match the recipient's floral signature. A floral signature is, simply, the types of floral arrangements a person might choose for him or herself. The signature takes into consideration color, style, flower choices, and accents. Floral signatures include: * Natural: People with a casual lifestyle who like the outdoors and tend to be more earthy fall under this signature. They are often drawn to flowering or green plants, but also enjoy meadow flowers or arrangements using woodsy accents, like twigs or leaves. * Romantic: The romantic signature is best suited to spontaneous people with a generous nature who are prone to extravagance. Floral arrangements for this signature use soft colors with a bit of fragrance. Accents include lace and ribbons. * Expressive: People with an expressive floral signature spend time looking to better themselves and tend to like unconventional things. Flowers used here are exotic and have unusual coloring. They are arranged in unique shapes with an artistic feel. * Traditional: Those with a traditional floral signature are trustworthy and hold their families in high regard. They like things with a classical style. They like flower arrangements that use many different kinds of flowers and are very lush. * Contemporary: The contemporary floral signature is perfect for people who like to set the pace. They are often responsible for starting new trends and like to live in the now. Contemporary flower arrangements often use just one color or use large brightly colored blooms. If you have difficulty deciding which of these floral signatures suits someone in your life, ask your florist for help. He or she will be able to ask you some specific questions that will help you to make

Flowers are an excellent way to brighten up any room in the house, and new trends in decorating with flowers emerge every day. When you or guests enter your home, you want the first space in your home to bring a feeling of welcome and set the tone for the rest of the house. Your entranceway gives the first impression of your home. If you don't have an entryway space inside your front door before you enter other rooms, use flowers outside the door. Try hanging a wreath on your front door-grapevine or straw will work well. Attach small vases to the wreath and place fresh cut flowers in them. If you do have an entranceway space, you might display a favorite piece of artwork and use flowers to help draw eyes to it. If the piece is a sculpture placed on a pedestal, you could drape the pedestal with flowers. Or, for a warmer, friendlier feeling, set a basket of fresh flowers on a table. In many homes, the kitchen is the gathering place. Flowers can be used in any number of creative ways to brighten up your kitchen. Try placing small clay pots in a windowsill and fill them with plant varieties that love the sun. You might even grow your own herbs, which can be a delightful decoration while being useful as well. If your kitchen is the cozy, old-fashioned kind, flowers will look great in antique water pitchers or teapots. Keep your bedroom and guest bedroom smelling deliciously fresh using fragrant flowers like lilacs, tea roses, lilies, peonies, or freesias. If you happen to grow them in your own yard, snip a few and place them in a bud vase on the dresser or bedside table. These flower varieties are also available from your local florist. If you prefer to use a less fragrant flower variety, you can still keep the room smelling fresh by placing a bud vase down inside a clear glass bowl filled with potpourri. Your living room or family room can be made either warmer or brighter, depending on the colors and styles of flowers you use. If you'd like to brighten up your living room during the summer and you have a fireplace, consider placing a large arrangement in the hearth. You can carry that feeling to other areas of the room by using the same flower varieties in smaller vases placed on end tables or shelves. For a warming effect, float a few large blooms, such as those from a gardenia or gerbera daisy, in a crystal bowl with floating candles. Regardless of the room, flowers can be used to achieve any look you like. If you're at a loss for how you can use flowers in your home, take photographs of the spaces in your home where you'd like to add flowers and ask your florist for help. Your home can be even more beautiful than it is now-even if you don't live in a mansion the likes of Christina Aguilera's. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946

Well, maybe, especially if she's adding special touches to her parties using flowers. Flowers are a simple and inexpensive way to make your parties beautiful, exciting, and the talk of your neighborhood. Of course there are the traditional ways to use flowers, like arrangements in vases and baskets or floral centerpieces, but there are also endless possibilities for other uses. Your florist can help you create any of the following floral party decorations: * Punch up your punch: An ice ring is always lovely in a punch bowl, but imagine how much better it will be if there are brightly colored blooms frozen into it. Make certain you use washed, edible flowers; your florist can help you choose them. * Make your napkin rings into party favors: You can either ask your florist to make napkin rings from flowers, or you can buy a few extra flowers to match your center pieces and tuck them into folded napkins or napkin rings. You'll want to make certain you keep the flowers in some water until just before your guests arrive. You should also consult your florist to determine which blooms will work the best. * Make candles even brighter: Set your votive holders on a bed of petals. If you're using candlesticks, tie ribbons around them and tuck in a few blooms. Or, place large blooms in bowls with floating candles. * Pretty place cards: Your place cards can double as party favors. Place a small vase at each setting with a single bloom in it. Attach the place card to the vase using a ribbon, glue it directly to the vase, or tuck the card into the blossom. To make certain your flower decorations are as fresh and beautiful as possible, ask to have them delivered the day of the party. If they must be delivered the day before, store them in a cool place-but not one that will reach below 35 degrees. Avoid drafts and direct sunlight. Make sure your flowers are not stored near fruit. Fruit emits ethylene gas, which can make your flowers wilt. Mist the flowers before storing them and cover them lightly with a thin piece of plastic. A bag from your dry cleaner will work perfectly for this purpose. Your florist can be a real asset in planning your party. Make sure you talk to him or her about what the occasion is and the atmosphere you're going for. Your florist is certain to be full of excellent ideas like the ones above, and may even have a few more. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

But, in terms of comebacks, fragrant flowers just may make an even bigger comeback. In the past, flowers were frequently valued for their heady scents. They were used to woo a lover, mask scents that were less than desirable, and create expensive perfumes. Their fragrance has been described in great literary works by notable authors like Shakespeare. But, over time, the fragrance of flowers faded and how a flower smelled became much less important than how it looked. Flowers have been crossbred to create bigger, brighter, and longer lasting blooms with great commercial appeal. Typically, when people call their florist to order flowers they are most concerned with how long the arrangement will last and choosing those flower varieties that will stay fresher longer. That's perfectly understandable. When you spend your hard earned money on a gift for a family member or friend, you want them to be able to enjoy that gift for as long as possible. For that reason, flower breeders have toiled to create hybrids that live for long periods of time when cut and placed in a vase or arrangement. Recently, though, flower enthusiasts have begun to request flowers with more fragrance to appeal not just to the eye, but also to the nose. Perhaps that's because the human nose is capable of discerning over 10,000 different scents. Lightly scented flowers bring a breath of nature's laughter to a room. Having foreseen a swing back toward a desire for scented flowers, renowned English rose breeder David Austin, began crossbreeding hybrid tea roses with their lovely colors and long-lasting blooms with the Old Roses that existed prior to 1867 and were abundantly fragrant. The result is a rose that has the best of both worlds - a long lasting, beautiful bloom with a delightful scent. David Austin's rose isn't the only flower with a lovely fragrance. There are many other blooms that have retained their fabulous scent, such as the lilac, hyacinth, and honeysuckle to name just a few. If you're interested in ordering a flower arrangement that delights not just the eyes, but also the nose, contact your florist and ask for assistance. He or she can choose blooms to match the colors and looks you want to achieve while also providing a scent that is sure to please. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

In fact, poor Lohan has been in and out of the hospital so much throughout the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006 that she could surely use some get well flowers. Get well flowers are an excellent way to let someone who's feeling under the weather know that you are thinking of them and truly hope they have a speedy recovery-especially if you're unable to make a personal visit. Flowers not only brighten up the often monochromatic and dreary surroundings of a hospital room, they're also a fantastic way to brighten up the spirits of the person who's feeling sick or blue. In a recent study conducted by Rutgers University, flowers were proven to trigger happy feelings. Dr. Jeanette Haviland-Jones, who lead the study, said, Common sense tells us that flowers make us happy. Now, science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being. Flowers are as easy to order as they are beautiful. When you order flowers to be delivered to the hospital, having some basic information at hand can make your ordering experience even easier. Make sure you have the following information gathered prior to calling your florist: * The name of the hospital. * The patient's name. * The room number. However, if you don't now the room number, the hospital staff will be able to look up the patient's name to determine the room number at the time the flowers are delivered. * The date and approximate time you'd like the flowers to be delivered. In addition to the basic information, it's probably also a good idea to contact the hospital before ordering flowers to determine if they have any special rules concerning flowers. For example, flowers generally aren't allowed in the intensive care and urgent care units. And, some hospitals have certain areas of the rooms where they allow flowers to displayed; these display areas may leave you with size limitations. Your florist should be familiar with the policies of the local hospitals. Get well flowers aren't just for people like Lindsey Lohan and they're not just for the hospital. You can send them to anyone in your life who is experiencing some illness or who is perhaps just feeling blue. Feel free to send flowers to the home of a family member or friend who's in need of an emotional boost-they're sure to bring a smile and warm the recipient's heart. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

Copyright © 2006 Wesley Berry Wesley Berry Flowers http://www.800wesleys.com/ The rose has long been a favorite flower of many women, but is it the favorite flower of Christina Aguilera? The truth is, I don't know, but judging by the elaborate floral chuppah of brightly colored orange, yellow, and burgundy roses conspicuously present at her wedding and the thick bouquets of hot pink roses and rose petals surrounding her wedding cake, it's a sure bet the rose ranks high on Aguilera's list of favorite flowers. What is it about the rose that makes it such a popular floral choice and a powerful symbol of love, war, and politics? Perhaps the answers lie in its long and varied history. Fossils show that roses have existed for about 35 million years. However, cultivation of the rose for gardening purposes began about 5000 years ago in China. It didn't take long for their popularity to spread, and during the Roman Empire, roses played a significant role in the Roman society-but not just for their beauty. Along with being admired as an ornamental piece, roses were also used for food, medicine, and perfume. As a symbol, they were used to honor heroes who would be showered with petals and attend celebrations where the floor was carpeted in petals that would release their fragrance each time a step was taken. Roses became such an important part of the Roman culture that the Romans invented the greenhouse specifically for growing roses. China and Rome were not the only areas of the world to be touched by the beauty of the rose. Roses also appear in ancient Hindu stories. In these stories, Brahma, who created the world, debated with Vishnu, who protected the world, about whether the lotus or the rose was the more beautiful flower. Brahma argued that there was no flower more exquisite than the lotus while Vishnu believed the rose to be the most beauteous. Brahma, who had never seen a rose before, conceded upon first seeing one and created a bride for Vishnu using 108 large and 1,008 small rose petals. Europe, too, fell under the spell of the beautiful rose. During the seventeenth century, they were considered so valuable that roses and rose water were used as legal tender. Josephine Bonaparte, the wife of Napoleon, was so taken by the rose that she developed an enormous collection of roses at an estate just outside of Paris. In America, roses are often associated with our own American royalty-celebrities. In fact, there are numerous roses named after American celebrities. Among them are the: * Marilyn Monroe: A gorgeous light apricot-colored rose that blooms well in hot weather. * Judy Garland: A sweetly yellow rose that blushes out to a hot orange and scarlet red. * Grace Allen: A delicately pink rose. * George Burns: A lively yellow rose striped with red. * Josephine Baker: A deep red rose with a soft fragrance. * Cary Grant: A stunning orange rose. Whether or not the rose is among Christina Aguilera's favorite flowers, it's clearly among the favorites of the world. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

Copyright © 2006 Wesley Berry Wesley Berry Flowers http://www.800wesleys.com/ Considering that material girl Madonna has mad herself famous as a trendsetter, it's actually very likely that she does indeed grow English Roses. That's because, in terms of flowers, English Roses are relatively new to the scene and aren't found in the gardens of most people. In fact, English Roses weren't introduced until around 1969 when roses grown by English rose breeder, David Austin, first began to appear in the flower world. Austin and other rose breeders developed the English Rose by crossing Old Roses (roses that existed before 1867) and Modern Roses (roses that came into existence after 1867) to achieve the best qualities of both. Specifically, the goal was to create a rose that: * Generated flowers shaped like Old Roses, like cupped and rosette-shaped. * Bloom more than once per year. * Occur in many colors, including yellows that are not common in Old Roses. * Have a strong fragrance. The breeding was a success, and the result, sometimes called Shrub Roses, is gaining popularity. In addition to the desirable attributes mentioned above, English Roses can be planted as single plants or in groupings to be used as overall landscape plants. When they are used as landscape plants, it's a good idea to plant them closely together to give a fuller appearance. Also, an odd number of plants rather than an even number should be planted to give the grouping a more natural look. Another appeal of English Roses is that many varieties are resistant to some of the diseases that are common in other roses. However, they are less resistant when grown in close groupings or in wet climates. Very wet climates may not, in fact, be the ideal situation for English Roses. This is because they often grow very large flowers that, when wet, become too heavy for the stems to support resulting in a droopy plant. Because English Roses have characteristics of both Old Roses and Modern Roses, they may be pruned using techniques common to either type. If you prefer to keep your rose bushes smaller, you may choose to prune them back sharply every year. Or, if you want more of an Old Rose feel, you may choose to prune them less and allow them to take more of a shrub-like form, allowing the roses' natural forms to take shape. Clearly, if Madonna is interested in beautiful flower gardens and with her recent tendencies toward all things English, she would be inclined to not just write about English Roses, but also to grow them. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

Send Flowers To Apologize Copyright © 2006 Wesley Berry Wesley Berry Flowers http://www.800wesleys.com/ Your buddies were over last night for poker night. They were noisy, stayed late, and left the place a mess. Your significant other is not amused and you're in the doghouse. Need a quick way to start smoothing things over? Send her flowers to let her know how wonderful she is and how sorry you are. In a recent survey of both men and women, when asked which gift they most often give to apologize, a whopping 49 percent of respondents chose flowers making them the number one ranked apology gift-even over jewelry which received only 10 percent of the vote. More importantly, flowers were also ranked the best I Love You gift with 37 percent of the vote. Clearly flowers are a fantastic way to say, I'm sorry. So, how do you choose and order an apology gift of flowers for your significant other? Well, it's much easier than you might think. Here are some quick tips: * First and foremost, think of a way to personalize the gift. A generic gift of flowers that doesn't take into consideration her personality, likes, and dislikes isn't likely to help you take even one step out of the doghouse. If she hates orchids, she's going to be even angrier if you send her a bouquet of them. However, if her absolute favorite flower is brightly colored, enormous gerberas, a huge bouquet of them is sure to bring at least a small smile to her face. * Write her a special note to go with the flowers. Let her know that you appreciate her letting you have all the guys over, or that you know you screwed up, and you hope she'll forgive you. Whether you make it a heartfelt note or just a clever and cute one really depends on just how angry she is. If she's just mildly miffed about the mess in the kitchen after poker night, try something like, I'll bet none of my poker buddies knows I'm married to the Queen of Hearts-but I do! * Enlist your florist to help you with your mission. Florists are experts in creating special arrangements to meet any need, and they've heard it all! Tell your florist what the flowers are for, provide a little information about the recipient's likes, dislikes, favorite flowers, and favorite colors, and let your florist do the rest. * Have the flowers delivered at a time that will be a surprise, but that is also convenient. If you know your significant other would be irritated by flowers delivered during the peak time at work, communicate that to your florist and give him or her a best time for the delivery. The bottom line here is to really think about how your gift of flowers can have the best impact on the situation. Make it a personal gift that matches the situation, and make sure she knows how important she is to you. Remember, flowers are a great I Love You gift, so make sure yours say just that. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

It is traditionally presented as an Easter gift and adorns the altars of churches during the Christian holiday. This association with Easter has its roots in the Bible where it is frequently mentioned and has continued to be traditionally linked with Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. One of the most notable Biblical references to the lily is during Christ's famed Sermon on the Mount where he states, Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet...Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. It is also said that when Christ hung dying on the cross, lilies sprang from the earth where his sweat fell to the ground. It is, therefore, commonly seen as a symbol of the hope of life eternal. In its association with the Virgin Mary, the lily stands for purity. One legend has it that three days after her burial, Mary's tomb was found empty except for clusters of magnificent white lilies. The lily frequently appears in early paintings of Mary where the Angel Gabriel is shown presenting lilies to Mary upon announcing that she will give birth to the Son of God. She is also pictured with the baby Jesus receiving white lilies from the saints. Selecting and keeping a beautiful Easter lily is relatively easy. After the Easter season, the flower can even be planted in your garden to bloom year after year. Here are some tips for selecting and caring for an Easter lily: * Look for a plant that is well balanced on all sides. The leaves should be plentiful all the way from the potting soil to the flower. * Choose a lily with just a few open flowers and at least three buds. * Look for lilies that are not in protective plastic or mesh sleeves. These should have been removed after shipping to ensure the health of the plant. * Avoid waterlogged plants that may have root rot. * Place your lily in a window that receives bright but indirect sunlight. * Keep the lily in a cooler area and avoid direct dry heat from furnace vents, fireplaces, and appliances. * When the last flower has died and there is no more danger of frost, you may transfer the lily to your flower garden. Dig a 6-inch deep hole with enough room for the roots to spread. Plant lilies 4 to 6 inches apart. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

In fact, it would seem that celebrities send flowers for many of the same occasions and situations we regular folks do. One occasion we know Jessica Simpson received flowers for was as an apology for potentially hurtful remarks made in jest by comedian George Lopez at this year's People's Choice Awards. The awards took place just weeks after Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey announced their pending divorce to the world. Lopez, who was apparently unaware that the awards show was Simpson's first appearance since the announcement, made this crack during an introduction: The producers want to apologize to Nick Lachey, who could not be here because they didn't need any more seat fillers. Simpson was visibly embarrassed and uncomfortable when the joke was made. Lopez, who felt bad for making a joke at Simpson's expense, did his best to make up for the faux pas by sending Simpson a bouquet of flowers. Flowers have universal appeal, regardless of our backgrounds, careers, economic situation, or celebrity status. They play an enormous part in our culture for all occasions from the birth of a new baby through to the death of a loved one. They are a symbol of love, caring, congratulations, support, gratitude, and, yes, apology. They're available in every color under the sun and at price ranges that are affordable to nearly everyone. And, they're so easy to buy or order. A quick call to the florist can have a gorgeous gift for any occasion on its way to your loved one in a matter of a day, and often even less. Because of their broad charm, flowers make an excellent gift for those occasions where a gift is warranted, but you're not sure of what to give. For example, if you're invited to your new boss's house for dinner, you know you should bring a gift. Well, you could opt for a bottle of wine, but are you certain your boss has no issues with alcoholic beverages? A beautiful centerpiece is sure to be appreciated, and I've never met anyone who has issues with flowers. Or, perhaps you've been helped in some way by an individual you don't know well but you'd like to let him or her know just how much you appreciated the help. Again, flowers are an excellent way to say, thank you. So, you don't have to be Jessica Simpson to give or get flowers. You simply have to be you with something to say and a desire to brighten someone's day. - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

Believe it or not, many florists do keep a supply of shamrocks on hand to add to bouquets and arrangements ordered for St. Patrick's Day. Well, at least they carry something that passes for shamrocks... A closer look at the shamrock and the legends surrounding it reveals that finding the true shamrock requires more than just the luck brought by a four-leaf clover. The origin of the word shamrock is in the Irish word seamrog, which means little clover. While it's a lovely name, it's not particularly descriptive considering that there are numerous kinds of clovers and even some plants that are recognized as clovers by the general public, though botanically they are not. Even the folks living in Ireland have some difficulty agreeing on what a shamrock truly is. In a survey conducted by Tippitwitchet Cottage at the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, Dublin showed that Irish believe the shamrock to be one of four plants: * 46 percent believe it is the lesser trefoil, or hop clover; * 35 percent say it's the white clover; * 7 percent think it's the black medick (which isn't a clover at all, merely a clover-like plant); and, * 4 percent believe the shamrock is the red clover. Why the division over what the shamrock really is? Well, that may come from the legend of the shamrock itself. The story goes that Saint Patrick used the shamrock as a visual aid to explaining the Christian belief of the doctrine of the Trinity. Shamrocks have three leaves united by one stalk, which Saint Patrick pointed out during his lesson. Now, you're probably scratching your head and thinking, Three leaves? What about the 'lucky four-leaf clover'? Ah, that's where things become even more confusing. Technically speaking, a four-leaf clover cannot be a shamrock because of the very fact that it has four leaves and doesn't conform to the definition originated in the Saint Patrick legend. The idea of the lucky four-leaf clover actually originates not through Christian tradition, but through Pagan beliefs. Ancient Druids were said to have propagated this belief because they held the four-leaf clover as a Celtic charm against malevolent spirits. Three leaf, four leaf, shamrock, clover-whatever the case may be, shamrocks or what passes for them make a beautiful addition to any St. Patrick's Day flower arrangement or bouquet. So, remember to ask your florist to add the luck o' the Irish to your St. Patrick's Day flowers! - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.

Think again! Flowers are an appropriate gift for any woman in your life - mom, sister, friend, coworker, or any other woman you feel warmly toward. And, women love to be surprised, so send flowers any time of the year and for no reason at all. Best of all, you don't have to spring for the really expensive flowers, because women love to get mixed flowers just as much as they love roses. Don't believe me? Take a look at the results of a survey conducted by Bruskin/Golding Research for the Society of American Florists (SAF): * 94% of women say flowers given as a surprise mean the most. * While 83% of women responded that they would most like to receive flowers from a significant other, 34% would also like flowers from their sons, 25% from a male friend, 23% from their father, and 23% from a brother. * 62% of women stated they'd like to receive mixed flowers as a surprise. Only 28% responded they'd rather have roses. While that may clear up when and for whom you should send flowers, it probably doesn't answer many of the other questions you may have, like: * What do I order? * How do I order? * Will my girlfriend get the wrong idea? * Can I send flowers too often? First of all, relax. Flowers are probably the easiest gift you could ever buy. That's because you always have an expert to turn to for advice-your florist! Even if you have absolutely no idea what to get, a florist can help you choose the perfect arrangement. All you'll need to do is tell them who they're for, what occasion (if any), and a little about the personality of the recipient. Your florist can walk you through the rest of the decision making process, or you can simply leave the details up to them. When you call your florist, stop in to the shop, or order online, be sure to have key information on hand, including recipient's name, delivery address, telephone number, and method of payment. If you're worried that sending flowers to a woman you've just begun dating will give her the wrong idea, don't worry! Tell your florist that the arrangement is for a new girlfriend and they can help you pick the perfect arrangement to say You're special but not I want to spend the rest of my life with you and only you! Women know when a gift of flowers just means that you care. Flowers are the gift that can be given for any occasion and they never go out of style. I've been in the flower industry for many years, and I've never heard anyone say, I'm sick of getting flowers! So, send some flowers to your wife or girlfriend today. But, don't forget your mom, sister, or female friend! - Wesley Berry is the President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar business that was established in 1946.
