Question : Flower arrangement?
I want to make a flower arrangement for my mother for her b/day. Using real flowers. Can I buy any I want and put them together? What kinds of flowers do well together? I was thinking some carnations, tulips, roses maybe. Those sorts. Colorful.Also, once i have them arranged and cut, is it ok to tie the bottom part of the stems with a rubber band, so it looks neater?Are all flowers cut the same? About 1 1/2 inches diagonal from the bottom?

You can go to the grocery store and buy any single stems they have, plus filler
and greens, european market bouquets are also sold and you could get one of
those and add the extra flowers you pick out, the person there will helpyou
out.I think you just want to bouquet them for your mom, because arranging them,
they would be either in a vase or in floral foam. It is ok to bind them, as long
as they are not out of the water long.When flowers come into a floral department
they are all cut the same. By the time you get them from the store they have
probably been cut at least 4-5 times

Since its springtime any type of flower is going to be nice..I like tulips, and
purple Iris, Gerber Daisies, and stargazers ..Carnations are o.k. but go for
the unusual...Add some yellow button flowers to the arrangement and dont forget
to use Leather fern for your greenery..You may have to go to a florist and buy
each individual flower and greenery. .It will be fresher than the grocery
store...Cut your flowers at a angle before putting them in water...You may want
to arrange them in a vase, if not wrap them in a rubber band to hold the shape
of the arrangement...You can wrap them in colored cellephane, then make a bow
from some floral ribbon.
