Hydrangea

<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/hydrangea/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangeas</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are unrivaled in the shrub world for their captivating, colorful flowers. They&rsquo;re elegant plants that produce abundant blooms, perfect for the garden or as a centerpiece in a </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">flower arrangement</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Their striking flower heads come in several colors to suit any occasion or preference, from clear blue or vibrant pink, to white and lavender.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planting hydrangeas is the perfect way to add a touch of color to your garden. Whether you&rsquo;re a gardening newbie, or have green fingers already, hydrangeas are easy to plant and grow when you know how.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here, we cover how to plant hydrangeas to ensure your shrubs stay vibrant and blooming, year after year.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">When to plant hydrangeas</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best time to plant hydrangeas in your garden is in spring or fall, when the soil is warm and moist. This gives the shrub a good amount of time to establish a healthy root system before the summer weather kicks in. While planting hydrangeas in summer is possible, you will have to keep an eye on moisture levels in the soil.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Try to plant your shrubs in the early morning or late afternoon. During this time, the weather is generally cooler and your plants will be less likely to suffer heat stress from direct sunlight.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&rsquo;re looking to plant your hydrangea in pots or containers, these can be planted all year round, as long as the soil isn&rsquo;t frozen or too wet in the colder months, or excessively dry in the summer.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to plant hydrangeas: step by step</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking to plant and grow stunning hydrangea plants? Here&rsquo;s our step-by-step guide to planting hydrangeas:</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1: Prep</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before you plant your hydrangeas, you&rsquo;ll need to prepare the soil for planting. Hydrangeas grow best in moist soil, so if your soil is light, you may need to bulk it up with moisture-retaining organic matter such as compost or manure before planting.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2: Plant</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once your soil is prepped, you can start to plant your hydrangeas. Start by gently removing the plant from its container, and inspect the root ball. Make sure to snip off any dead or rotting parts.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ideally, you should plant your hydrangea in light shade but you can choose a sunnier spot if the soil isn&rsquo;t too dry in the summer. Next, dig a hole as deep as the root ball in the soil, and 2 to 3 times as wide. The base of the plant should be level with the top of the planting hole - don&rsquo;t plant it deeper than it was in its original pot. Then set the plant in the hole and fill it half full with soil before watering generously. Once the plant has absorbed the water, fill the rest of the hole with soil and water again.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3: Flower food</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to flower food or fertilizer, while hydrangea-specific fertilizer is available, it isn&rsquo;t always necessary. An all-purpose 12-4-8 fertilizer should work just as well.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&rsquo;re looking for a simple solution to hydrangea feeding, you can apply a once a year slow-release chemical fertilizer. Alternatively, if you prefer natural fertilizer, you can use a combination of sulfur, compost, and peat moss.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&rsquo;s important not to over-fertilize your hydrangea as this can cause fertilizer burn. To keep your hydrangea healthy, you should use fertilizer in March, May and July. Spread the fertilizer around the drip line of the branches and not the base of the plant. If your chosen fertilizer is a slow-release type, you will need to lightly cover it with soil to activate the fertilizer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By practicing the right care and feeding your hydrangeas well, you will be rewarded with luscious, healthy blooms.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lifespan of hydrangeas</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangeas are loved for their long-lasting blooms. Though they require minimal care, the lifespan of a hydrangea can vary depending on environmental conditions and how well they&rsquo;re cared for. With proper care, hydrangeas can live for up to 50 years.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To improve their longevity, prune your hydrangeas in the fall so they can grow strong stems the following summer. Make sure not to prune the plant while it&rsquo;s blooming as this can damage it and may cause it to go a year without flowering while the plant recovers.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Companion plants for hydrangeas</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To decide what to plant alongside hydrangeas, you should consider both what plants will complement the flowers visually and what will thrive in the same growing environment. Here are some of the best companion plants for hydrangeas:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Daylilies: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you pride yourself on having a visually appealing garden, classic color combinations are a must. Daylilies are exotic-looking flowers that are easy to grow and thrive in most soil types. They grow well in similar conditions to hydrangeas and come in a variety of vibrant colors to visually complement your hydrangeas.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Echinacea purpurea: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Echinacea purpurea will bloom around the same time as your hydrangeas, making them a great companion plant. They are tolerant of partial shades and grow well in moist, fertile soil where hydrangeas also thrive. Echinacea purpurea are also known to attract insect pollinators, which is an added bonus!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Ornamental grasses:</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> If you&rsquo;re after some variety in your garden, ornamental grasses will add a great textural contrast to your hydrangeas. They will easily fill your border around your other plants with ease.&nbsp;</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Dogwood trees: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Small trees like dogwood trees can offer the shade that hydrangea shrubs prefer. They&rsquo;ll also bring with them added blooms and foliage.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Understanding common pests and diseases</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like all plants, there are some pests and diseases that hydrangeas can be affected by. Here are some common pests and diseases that can affect hydrangeas:</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Diseases</span></h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Leaf spot: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leaf spot is the most common disease that may affect your hydrangeas. It&rsquo;s usually the result of a fungal infection caused by the ground being too moist and the roots getting too damp. You can prevent leaf spot by being mindful of overwatering your hydrangeas. While they need regular water, if you&rsquo;ve added mulch on top of your soil you won&rsquo;t need to water them as often.&nbsp;</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Powdery mildew: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">While powdery mildew won&rsquo;t cause serious damage to your hydrangeas, it will affect their appearance. If you spot powdery white mildew on top of the leaves and your flowers aren&rsquo;t blooming, you may need to cut away some of the branches to promote better air circulation.&nbsp;</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pests</span></h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Spider mites: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spider mites are very small insects that can eat away at your hydrangea&rsquo;s leaves. They pierce each of the leaves and remove fluid from inside. You&rsquo;ll be able to spot if spider mites have affected your plants as small yellow spots will be found on the leaves. If you notice spider mites, you&rsquo;ll need to remove them by spraying water on them and knocking them off the leaves of the plant.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Rose chafers (beetles): </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rose chafers are known to eat the flowers of hydrangea plants. A way to spot that rose chafers have damaged your plants is small holes in the petals. To prevent this you should check the leaves and remove any affected leaves from the hydrangea. Alternatively, you can use pesticides.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Aphids:</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Greenflies, aphids and whiteflies penetrate the leaves of the hydrangea and remove sap from inside. You&rsquo;ll notice if you have problems with whiteflies or aphids as the sap removal turns the leaves yellow and causes them to curl up. To remove these, you can mix dish soap and water together and coat every part of the hydrangea. You can also use a pesticide to spray the plants if you prefer.</span></li>

The 2018 theme is #PressforProgress, and it harkens back to the beginnings of this worldwide celebration when the focus was on gaining voting rights for women. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist&nbsp;</a>creative team is always mindful of the occasion or circumstance for which we're coming up with floral designs, and International Women's Day is no exception.</p>
<p><span id="more-1163"></span>We're showcasing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/super-values-los-angeles/cymbidium-orchid-bouquet/">A Lovely Burst of Beautiful Blooms</a>. The colors of this arrangement are the same colors that the Women's Social and Political Union used in the early 1900s in their campaign to win women the right to vote. We chose Cymbidium orchids, fragrant stock, Lisianthus, Bells of Ireland, and other floral accents in green, white and purple. The combination of flower sizes and shapes in a compact square vase makes a bold statement that won't go unnoticed, and the colors of the flowers are especially relevant because of their association with the early 20th century Suffragettes.</p>

We're living in a difficult time where moral and ethical beliefs often collide. No one can deny the importance of supporting women, or of recognizing them for their accomplishments and the hard work, it takes for them to get to the places where they are now. Every woman needs to be appreciated, and on International Women's Day, expressions of gratitude, a show of support, and a willingness to become an active participant in the worldwide crusade to guarantee gender parity show the women in your life that you're their valuable ally.</span></p>

<h2><strong>These Are the Most Popular Flowers</strong></h2>
<p>All flowers are beautiful and deserve popularity, but some have risen above the rest thanks to their unique appearance, lovely fragrance, or symbolic meanings. Often flower popularity depends on the time and place in which you live. For example, lotus flowers and camellias are very popular in East Asia, but not used as often in other parts of the world. There was also a time when <a href="https://www.holland.com/global/tourism/discover-holland/traditional/tulips/history-of-tulips-in-holland.htm">tulips</a> were so valuable, they were used as currency and comprised most of Holland's economy. Tulips are still well-loved today, but you probably won't find anyone who's willing to shell out tens of thousands of dollars for a single bulb.</p>
<p>We especially love our favorite flowers for their versatility and beauty in a variety of floral designs.</p>
<h3><strong>1. Roses</strong></h3>

They're also available in countless varieties. <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/luxury-los-angeles/deluxe-rose-clusters-orchid-plants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Orchids</a></strong></span> symbolize exotic beauty, glorious femininity, mature charm, thoughtfulness, and refinement.

<h3><strong>4. Tulips</strong></h3>

Plus, the rounded, sturdier shape of the tulip bulb nicely complements the delicateness of other flowers, such as the orchid, as seen in the above arrangement. We especially love tulips for celebrating springtime occasions like Easter and Mother's Day.</p>
<h3><strong>5. King Protea</strong></h3>

<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=3235" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">King protea</a></strong></span> blooms in peach, cream, yellow, white, orange, and pink colors. They're the largest of all protea blooms, and their spiky petals will add textural dynamics to any arrangement. This flower is a physical manifestation of strength, and it represents courage, resourcefulness, diversity, change, and transformation.</p>
<h2><strong>What Your Favorite Flower Says About You</strong></h2>
<p>While flowers have their own set <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.almanac.com/content/flower-meanings-language-flowers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">symbolic meanings</a></strong></span>, many people think favorite flowers also have the power to reveal something about a person's personality. If you love daffodils, you might be a great host and also quite artistic or creative. People who love daisies are thought to be optimistic and adventures. Fans of violets are witty and reserved, while lilac lovers also love everything that makes them feel nostalgic.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Order Flowers for Someone</strong></h2>
<p>When ordering flowers for someone other than yourself, remember to consider your relationship with them, the type of occasion, and the sentiment you want your floral gift to convey. We recommend reserving red roses for solely romantic relationships and occasions and saving all-white arrangements for more somber events, as they tend to represent remembrance and sympathy. If you're uncertain, choosing an arrangement with a variety of colors and flowers is always a safe bet!</p>
<p>Ordering flowers from <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/best-flower-delivery-los-angeles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong></span> is surprisingly simple. You can have flowers delivered to just about any location, using our online ordering tools. We also welcome customers to stop by any of our flower shops for personalized assistance with choosing the best flowers for your recipient.</p>

5 POPULAR FLOWERS WE're THANKFUL FOR

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p style="color: #333333;">Buying flowers for your sorority crush can be an important step in your relationship. If you give them anonymously, you can build your crush's opinion of you as the suspense builds over who is her secret admirer. You can use flowers to reveal yourself to her, or buy her a gift of flowers after the two of you hang out at a crush party. The following three tips can make your gift more appreciated and more likely to win you favor with your sorority crush.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>1. Choose the right type of flower.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Some sororities have an official flower type and color, such as a white rose, red carnation, or pink orchid. Try to find out if your crush's sorority does, and consider buying a bouquet whose main flower is the official flower of your crush's sorority.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">You don't have to buy the official flower, though. Opt for the '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/102" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/102">Basket of Sunflowers</a>' if you think your crush would enjoy placing the basket on her desk. If you know that your crush wants to go to a tropical vacation destination but is a long way from a dream to the Virgin Islands or the Bahamas, consider giving her '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2465" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2465">A Cheerful Orange Delight</a>' with colorful flowers artfully arranged with orange slices in the vase.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>2. Put your own spin on it.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #333333;">An arranged flower bouquet is just the start. Once you put the finishing touches on it, it will be a unique gift. Include a personal message with the bouquet, and think about adding another gift that she will love or can share with her sorority sisters. Fresh-baked cookies, a fruit basket, and spa baskets are all good choices.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>3. Consider the timing when choosing your flowers.</strong></p>
<p style="color: #333333;">A light-hearted gift of flowers can be ideal if your crush does not know who you are or if the two of you do not have much history together. Send summery flowers, such as roses or sunflowers, to brighten her sorority house room and her mood. Plan for the flowers to be delivered the day of the party so that she is excited to see you, or deliver them the day afterwards to tell her that you had a great time with her last night.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Wearable flowers are a great choice if you want to give your gift in person but are not planning to see your crush until the party starts. Bring a corsage to pin on her dress or put around her wrist. The '<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2193" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2193">Cymbidium Crysanthemum Corsage</a>,' with ivory and pink satin ribbons and a white chrysanthemum with a ruby and gold center, is an elegant choice.</p>

3 TIPS FOR BUYING FLOWERS FOR YOUR SORORITY CRUSH

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p style="color: #333333;">Surprising that special someone with flowers is always a great idea ' flowers mean a lot more than most guys honestly realize. They can brighten up a room, and serve as a visual reminder that your significant other was thinking about you enough to stop and buy a bouquet.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">But picking the right bouquet ' now that's the trick! Knowing what to get your loved one in order to create the perfect flower surprise can be a bit intimidating. With these three simple steps, your next flower surprise should be a breeze!</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">1. Know their tastes</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Chances are, if you're buying flowers for someone, you'll know them pretty well. Buying flowers, however, may just show you how little you know about them. Will they like roses, or are they a lilac person? Or maybe even daffodils?</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">The best bet is to go with something that you think matches your significant other's personality. Bright, vibrant roses would go great with someone who has a bubbly personality. For someone a little more reserved or sophisticated,&nbsp;white lilies or hydrangeas&nbsp;are great choices for their simple elegance. For more choices on flowers <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com">check out our site</a> for more options!</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Either way, avoid texting your partner and asking what their favorite flowers are ' a tip like that can take the spontaneity out of the delivery!</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">2. Make the reveal special</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Don't just walk in the door, throw your coat on the chair, and holler, 'Honey, I'm home!' while thrusting out a fistful of flowers. Make the presentation something special, that your significant other will remember, and more importantly, makes them feel important and valued. Flowers are just an outward sign of deep appreciation, and finding a way to communicate that in the way you give flowers will make all the difference.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.artofmanliness.com/2008/07/27/when-and-how-to-give-flowers/" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.artofmanliness.com/2008/07/27/when-and-how-to-give-flowers/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Art of Manliness</span></a>&nbsp;has a great how-to for understanding when and how to give flowers; if this whole flowers game is new territory to you, their words are worth a read.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>3. Buy Good Flowers</strong></p>
<p style="color: #333333;">While saving money is always a good thing, don't skimp on the quality of the flowers you buy. Make sure they're going to last for more than a few days, so that your reminder of love will be present around the house as long as possible.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Buying flowers is a great way to demonstrate your love for your significant other, and if you follow these tips, you should have no problem impressing them at all and making their day! We're here to help!</p>

<h2>What Are Eco-Friendly Flowers?</h2>
<p>Flowers grown by sustainable flower farms are those that are done so in a manner that works harmoniously with the surrounding environment. This means not using harmful pesticides or fertilizers and creating a sustainable environment so farming can continue indefinitely. Florists support eco-friendly farms and also practice other green initiatives in their shop daily. Here are just a few.</p>

<h2>Five Practices of an Eco-Friendly Florist</h2>
<h3><strong>1.Uses Recyclable Materials</strong></h3>
<p>A sustainable florist makes use of reusable and recyclable materials as often as possible. They do their utmost to reduce waste, stay away from non-biodegradable florist's foam, and wrap flowers in paper rather than plastic.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Sources Flowers Locally</strong></h3>
<p>Green florists will source flowers from local farmers whenever they can. This provides not only more environmentally friendly flowers because shipping is greatly reduced, but also the most gorgeous and freshest flowers available to the consumer.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Plans Smart Delivery Routes</strong></h3>
<p>Green florists devise smart delivery routes that save on gas, time, and reduce pollution. Some even use battery-operated vehicles.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Lets No Flower Go to Waste</strong></h3>
<p>With a green florist, unused flowers are donated to hospitals and nursing homes, other charitable causes, or composted to use as fertilizer in gardens.</p>
<h3><strong>5. Promotes Seasonal Flowers</strong></h3>
<p>Seasonable flowers are robust, fresh, and cheaper than purchasing those that are out of season. Most florists promote seasonal flowers because they are the best ones to buy at the time.</p>

<h2>Things You Can Do to Be Green</h2>
<p><strong>Upcycle Your Bouquet's Vase</strong></p>
<p>You are able to get far more life from your vases along with other containers by reusing them. At French Florist, we are always pleased to refill vases, and also we encourage our commercial clients to do so, also.</p>
<p><strong>Give Your Flowers a Second Life</strong></p>
<p>Continue to love your floral arrangement, corsage, bouquet, or boutonniere for decades to come by drying the flowers. Drying or pressing your flowers is a lovely way to preserve them and keep the memory of their special occasion alive.</p>
<p><strong>Shop from a Local Florist</strong></p>
<p>Ordering your flowers from a local florist instead of a large national chain guarantees that you will not only receive the freshest, healthiest blooms but that the carbon footprint created is way, way smaller than what a national chain would leave.</p>

5 BEST THINGS ABOUT ECO-FRIENDLY FLORISTRY

Tulips

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p>A simple, bright and beautiful flower, the tulip is a familiar symbol of springtime. There are nearly 4,000 different varieties of tulips available and selecting the perfect display for your office, home or to give as a gift can be daunting.</p>
<h1>Ways to Say 'I Love You'</h1>
<p>Roses are delightful, but if you are looking for something a little different to express your deep love this year on a special occasion, consider the tulip. It's bold color and fresh appearance make it a unique choice. The deep and bright red color evokes a message of passion and love. A bunch of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/944" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/944">red tulips in a block vase</a>&nbsp;with Christmas accents is a stunning gift on the holidays, but may be simplified &nbsp;to just flowers and a vase for a summery expression of freshly blooming romance.</p>
<p>But why not add on to make your love statement a shout from the rooftops? The&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses-tulips" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses-tulips">P.S. ' I Love You</a>&nbsp;completes the romance of tulips with the traditional symbol of adoration that roses imply. Mixed together, both flowers express the warmth of love and act as a fresh reminder of spring. Pink tulips impart happiness to pair with the red implication of love and the whole arrangement is quite literally tied together with a classy pink satin ribbon around the thick glass vase.</p>
<h1>Orange is In</h1>
<p>The hot color of the season is bright orange, and what could add more to your d'cor than a gorgeous bouquet of fresh spring flowers? The bright oranges of the Roses, tulips and Mokara orchids in the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2904" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2904">Orchids and Tulips</a>&nbsp;display is not only an unusual choice, but it effortlessly blends intrigue, spice and passion into one arrangement. Orange symbolizes happiness, warmth and fascination, making it the perfect color for a lover, friend, boss or family member.</p>
<h1>The Gardener</h1>
<p>You don't have to have a green thumb with flowers to care for tulips. Choosing a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/221" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/221">Bulb Garden Planter</a>&nbsp;is the easy way to have a long-lasting flower arrangement that will bloom every year. Bulb flowers ' like daffodils, tulips, irises, narcissuses and hyacinths ' are a cinch to care for and a little sunshine and water go a long way. If you get tired of having them in the home or office, they are easily planted in the outdoor beds, where their bulbs will rest underground until next springtime comes around.</p>

3 FUN WAYS TO PRESENT YOUR TULIPS

Holidays

National Teacher's Day

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p>National Teacher's Day is celebrated every year on the Tuesday of the first full week of May. To make your child's teacher feel special, gifts that are slightly indulgent will do the trick. &nbsp;While your teacher might use a gift certificate to a bookstore, it is likely that this would be used to purchase books for the classroom. &nbsp;Focus on a gift specifically for the teacher to enjoy, like a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.griffinsfloraldesigns.com/categories.cfm?heaID=1" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.griffinsfloraldesigns.com/categories.cfm?heaID=1">beautiful bouquet of flowers</a>.</p>
<p>If your child has a teacher that is a big sports fan, try getting some of the parents together to buy two tickets to a game. &nbsp;Teachers will never expect such a fun gift, yet it will be remembered for years. &nbsp;The goal is to show your appreciation to your child's teacher, and tickets to a great game would be perfect if they love sports.</p>
<p>Another way to show appreciation, is to create a gift for the teachers as a whole. &nbsp;You could work together with other parents and provide some comforts in the Teacher's Lounge, maybe even a relaxing chair that could be used by teachers taking a break. &nbsp;It is important to recognize teachers for all of the hard work that they put in each and every day.</p>
<p>As you are thinking about the gift you want to give for National Teacher's Day, remember that the gift should be for the teacher's enjoyment. &nbsp;Most teachers are practical and any gift certificate to a local store will probably be used for the classroom. &nbsp;Think about great restaurants in the area, and make sure to include a certificate that would cover the cost of two people eating dinner out.</p>
<p>If you are unable to afford a gift for your child's teacher, try talking with other parents and see what you can come up with. &nbsp;As a group, parents will be able to spoil the teacher, send in flowers, give gift cards and overall show true appreciation for the work that do.</p>
<p>It is also important to include the students in the gift giving, even if it is simply having every student sign a big card of appreciation for the teacher.</p>

During autumn, decorating your front porch, steps, and front door will give your home a cheerful and welcoming look. A well-appointed front porch instantly boosts curb appeal and is sure to impress your neighbors, family, and friends.&nbsp;Make the most of the spirit of the autumn season by decorating your front porch, using these quick and easy decorating ideas from <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-fall-flowers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a></strong></span> in Los Angeles.</p>
<p><span id="more-1457"></span></p>
<h2><strong>1. Front Door Wreath</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1476" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-5-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-5-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-5-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-5.jpg 1633w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></p>
<p>Your front door is the focal point of the seasonal look you design for your front porch. Be sure yours hits the right note with a wreath. We recommend looking for a design that features a variety of flowers in autumn colors, fall foliage, and other fun embellishments like miniature pumpkins, acorns, pinecones, and ribbons. Be sure you pick a wreath in a color palette that will complement the color of your front door and house. While you don't want it to blend in too closely, you also want to avoid colors that will clash.</p>
<h2><strong>2. Front Door Garland</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1460" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-9-269x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="446" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-9-269x300.jpg 269w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-9-768x856.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-9-1076x1200.jpg 1076w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-porch-9.jpg 1441w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></p>
<p>If the design of your front door can't accommodate a wreath due to window pains or something else, you still shouldn't leave it completely bare because your overall design will lose impact.&nbsp;Plus, there are plenty of other ways to create a front door focal point in your design.&nbsp;Consider draping a garland of autumn flowers, foliage, and greenery over your doorframe. A garland will draw the eye upward, making your front porch design feel complete and completely elegant.</p>
<h2><strong>3. Pumpkins</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1468" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/13-southern-fall-front-porch-photo-by-At-the-Picket-Fence-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/13-southern-fall-front-porch-photo-by-At-the-Picket-Fence-200x300.jpg 200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/13-southern-fall-front-porch-photo-by-At-the-Picket-Fence.jpg 631w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px"></p>
<p>Fall doesn't feel like fall without pumpkins  lots of pumpkins! When used in a fall front porch design, there are endless possibilities for them. You can line the pathway to your front door with one on each step or group them in fun arrangements. Stack a few up, like in the picture, and paint them with your house number. You can carve a few for Halloween lanterns, but we recommend leaving your pumpkins intact to ensure they last throughout the season. For added effect, paint them using festive stencils or spray them in gold and silver metallics. However you use pumpkins in your design, we recommend choosing a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and textures to create an interesting look.</p>
<h2><strong>4. Toasty Textiles</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1462" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-textiles-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-textiles-300x200.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-textiles-768x512.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-textiles-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-textiles-450x300.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px"></p>
<p>Make sure your softer items match the season, too! Put your outdoor&nbsp;pillows featuring palms, flamingos, and pineapples into storage for the cooler months and replace them with pillows and blankets in plaids, flannel, and tartan. With a cozy front porch feel, all youll want to do is snuggle up outside with a good book.</p>
<h2><strong>5. Be Plentiful</strong></h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-1461" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-Porch-300x274.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="412" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-Porch-300x274.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-Porch-768x702.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-Porch-1200x1097.jpg 1200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-Porch-328x300.jpg 328w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2019/10/Fall-Porch.jpg 1754w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px"></p>
<p>Autumn's all about celebrating the harvest, and the best way to do this is with the look of an over-filled cornucopia. When you create these types of abundant designs on your front porch, keeping the look symmetrical will make the design feel put together and balanced. If you lose that symmetry, you run the risk of your front porch looking like a messy mishmash of pumpkins, kale, corn stalks, and other autumn elements.</p>

<h3><strong>The Philippines  Giant Lanterns</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each December, Filipinos in the city of San Fernando celebrate Christmas with the Giant Lantern Festival. Giant lanterns illuminated by light and decorated with brightly colored elaborate designs are built by several surrounding communities in a friendly competition to create the most extravagant lantern. Light is symbolic to the Filipinos and this beautiful festival symbolizes hope and love through the holiday season.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h3><strong>Ukraine  Spider Webs in the Tree</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A popular tradition in Ukraine is to decorate their Christmas tree with fake spiders and spider webs. Stemming from an old legend about a poor woman whose children were upset because they didn't have any money to buy decorations for their tree, the spiders in the home spun intricate and decorative webs across the tree while the family slept. On Christmas morning, the children awoke to find a beautifully decorated tree that glistened silver and gold in the morning light. Since then, spiders have been considered a sign of good luck and fortune.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h3><strong>Japan  KFC Christmas Dinner</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Families in Japan have been enjoying KFC chicken for their Christmas dinner since 1974 when a very successful marketing campaign promoted a bucket of the Colonel's golden fried best as the perfect Christmas meal. This tradition has really gained steam as more than 3.6 million people enjoy fried chicken on December 25th in Japan. Orders must be put in months in advance.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1322" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1322" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1322" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Boots-with-Carrots-450x322.jpg" alt="Boots with Carrots in them" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1322" class="wp-caption-text">Boots with Carrots</p></div>
<h3><strong>Germany  Boots by the Door</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christmas is very big in Germany and they have many traditions across the country. One of the more popular ones is for kids to place their cleanest, nicest pair of boots outside their bedroom door on December 5th, the night before St. Nicholas's arrival. In the morning when they wake, they will find their boots stuffed with candy, nuts, and small gifts.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1323" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1323" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1323" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Krampus-450x321.jpg" alt="parade of men dressed as Krampus" width="450" height="321"><p id="caption-attachment-1323" class="wp-caption-text">Krampus</p></div>
<h3><strong>Austria  Krampus</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The biggest Christmas tradition in Austria is to dress up as Krampus rattling chains and clanking bells to terrify children who have been naughty. Based on an old pre-Christian myth, Krampus is a goat-like demon who wanders the streets looking for children who misbehave and stuffing them in his sack to whisk them down into Hell. Each year across Austria men dress as Krampus and walk in parades down city streets.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1324" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1324" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1324" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/La-Befana-450x322.jpg" alt="Christmas Witch" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1324" class="wp-caption-text">La Befana</p></div>
<h3><strong>Italy  La Befana</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of Italy's more unique Christmas traditions comes in the form of a witch, Le Befana. A tale that dates back to the 13th Century, Le Befana will ride her broom down your chimney to leave presents for well-behaved children who leave food and wine for her. Her visits take place after Christmas though, on January 5th, Eve of the Epiphany.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1325" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1325" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1325" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Yule-Lads-Photo-by-guidetoiceland.is_-450x322.jpg" alt="13 Yule Lads - Photo by guidetoiceland.is" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1325" class="wp-caption-text">Yule Lads  Photo by guidetoiceland.is</p></div>
<h3><strong>Iceland  Yule Lads</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the 13 nights leading up to Christmas, each child in Iceland is visited by each of the troll-like tricksters called the Yule Lads. Wreaking harmless chaos across the land, these tricksters will leave candy in the shoes of kids who have been well-behaved and leave rotting potatoes for those kids who have not. With names like 'sausage-Swiper, Door-Slammer, and Pot-Scraper, these lads have tons of fun.&nbsp;</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1326" style="width: 460px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1326" loading="lazy" class="size-best wp-image-1326" src="https://conklyns.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/12/Christmas-Cracker-450x322.jpg" alt="Christmas Cracker on plate" width="450" height="322"><p id="caption-attachment-1326" class="wp-caption-text">Christmas Cracker</p></div>
<h3><strong>England  Christmas Crackers</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christmas in England is very similar to Christmas in the states with one tradition that hasn't caught on here yet which are Christmas crackers. Placed by everyone's plate during the Christmas meal, crackers are paper tubes wrapped in Christmas paper with a tab at each end. When the tabs are pulled apart, a large cracking sound will be heard as confetti, candy, and little trinkets fall out. Oftentimes, riddles and jokes are included as well as a paper hat which must be worn by everyone while eating dinner.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One tradition we know that everyone loves is receiving flowers. Flowers are universally enjoyed by everyone, so spruce up your holiday home or send to someone who's hard to shop for  flowers always make the perfect gift.&nbsp;</span></p>

8 CHARMINGLY ODD CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS

4th of July

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p style="color: #333333;">The fourth of July is one of the biggest holidays of the year in America, for obvious reasons. While it's clearly about American Independence, historically from the British colonialists in 1776 and from work for that long weekend, the fourth is also about colors, be it red, white and blue, or the multitude of colors that explode in the sky with the evening fireworks displays. It's also why flowers are the perfect gift for the 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;of July occasion, as they reflect the colorful celebration that is synonymous with the yearly summer holiday.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">There are obviously a wide variety of incredibly colorful and exotic flowers which can be included in a gift arrangement on the 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;of July, which will garner as much, if not more attention as an impressive fireworks display.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">For example, we have&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2579">A Fireworks Basket!</a> arrangement which features flowers of all sizes, regions and colors that literally explode out of the basket in front of you. Contained in this eye catching display is an eclectic collection of flowers which are tropical, local to Southern California and exotic, artfully displayed in a custom basket. Flowers included can range from orchids to bromeliads to roses and azaleas, all chosen based on how their attractive colors blend together and really make this basket stand out wherever it is displayed.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">These Fireworks Baskets&nbsp;have&nbsp;the most diverse and elaborate display of explosively exotic flowers that could be gathered together.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">This <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm/iteID/2579">Fireworks Basket</a> is an excellent gift to bring to a party that is being thrown on the 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;of July, where you will be spending the day and evening in lieu of an actual fireworks show.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Or it's a great gift the day before the 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;of July, so it can be used to decorate the buffet table or the entry way of the party location, welcoming every guest to the party.</p>
