The ReinCARNATION

Flowers- A Gift Of Beauty
March 10, 2010
Ever since I’ve been working as a florist, I have had a new outlook on flowers. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the beauty that God has bestowed upon us. So many, and I mean so many beautiful flowers, that even as a florist I can’t imagine myself going thru and using each and every flower in my arrangements. Not only are there many flowers as I so mentioned before, but to think that the flowers and each of the colors they come in has a meaning or a tradition attached to it.
I would love to get to know each flower, their colors, their meanings, their traditions, their history, etc. Not that I want to overdose and become a flower historian, but I think it will give me a different perspective with my flower arrangements.
So every month I want to study and write about one flower. And for the month of March, I want to study………. The CARNATION.
I think that we have taken the carnation for granted and lost sight of its beauty. In fact most of my customers don’t want to have carnations in their arrangements because they feel that the carnation reminds them of funeral pieces, also because they believe the carnation to be a “cheap” flower.
How do you feel about the carnations?
Picture this: what do you see in this summer picture? We want to know…

This cool picture is so wild, because it makes you think which way is up. It has a lot of details inside, and I can see a tree hanging down from the top.
I also see the number 19 on the bottom. Some might think that was a natural shot… I’s difficult to tell what real and what is a Photoshop in this picture.
Sunflowers for Valentine’s Day instead of Roses

Most guys give roses on Valentine’s Day, so think outside of the box. Try Sunflowers or something that says you went the extra mile.
The image below shows a really big cool eye set in the middle of a giant Sunflower!

How to make a scrapbook using colored flowers, a book and some newspapers
December 3, 2009
Scrap-booking flowers is a very unique way to express yourself and give a great gift that will last a life time. Another great idea is to do a Seasonal Scrapbook of the different seasons of the year, using all types of flowers.
Maybe you can add foliage from the fall season to a section or a separate scrapbook. It’s your scrapbook, so you do what you want, just have fun with it. It’s very interesting how long flowers can remain in the scrapbook without damage.
The video below is a how-to Gardening Tips video about scrap-booking using colored flowers. The video was created by the YouTube user ehow.
