MOTHER'S DAY FLOWERS ALIVE WITH POSSIBILITIES

Mother’s Day Bouquets

Each year, millions of Americans purchase bouquets of flowers for Mother’s Day--making it one of the top blossom-buying days of the year. And for assistance in choosing these petal-perfect gifts, consumers can consult a handy floral adviser online--one that’s literally blooming with ideas and possibilities.

Those in search of fresh-cut flower knowledge can boost their bloom IQ by logging on to a popular flower-education resource. Visitors can research flower varieties--perhaps to find Mom’s favorite--in the flower encyclopedia, discover flower design recipes and even ask questions of the Flower Doctor.

“Everyone loves flowers, even if they don’t know the names of the various varieties,” says the Flower Doctor, Bridget Behe, Ph.D. “Once you learn about flowers, you grow to appreciate and love them even more.”

Favorite Flower Varieties

1. Roses--These timeless, beautiful flowers come in many shapes, sizes and colors, including three popular types: sweetheart, spray and hybrid tea.

2. Gerbera Daisies--This cheerful blossom--available in over 160 colors-is like a burst of sunshine in any bouquet.

3. Lilies-Available in white, cream, yellows, reds, pinks and bi-colors, these fragrant flowers are a popular addition to dramatic bouquets.

4. Alstroemeria--With multiple blooms per stem, this long-lasting flower can make a bold statement with only a few stems.

5. Carnations--As one of the longest-lasting fresh-cut flowers, carnations are a proven favorite for bouquets.

Picking Out Petals

When selecting flowers from a retail florist or flower market, look for stems with upright, firm petals and buds beginning to open. Yellow, spotted or drooping leaves are signs of age. Here are a few other flower-selecting tips:

• Smell the water. It should smell fresh and clean.

• Look at the stems. They should be clean and not slimy.

• Forgo any flowers that may have breakage in the stems.
