❤❤ With Valentine's Day coming fast, here are a few tricks of the trade to get the most out of your flowers and the best bang for your buck! ❤❤

❤ Don't use online flower services.

1-800 Flowers, Ava's Flowers, PROFlowers, and even FTD outsource their orders to be filled by the florists in your area. Here's the catch though - a portion of your money goes to the service instead of the florists. This means that out of the $100 you spend on an arrangement, by the time the florist figures out how much the service takes and how much their own stuff costs - only about $55/60 of flowers goes into it.

If you're sending flowers out of your area - your best bet is looking up a florist in the area you want to send and talking to them directly. Using a wire-in/wire-out service is expensive and like online orders will leave you with an arrangement that is lack-luster to how much you spent.

Even if the online service does direct deliver - they will leave your arrangement in a box on your porch. And if it's below freezing? Your flowers will be dead. They are a delivery service and unlike a local florist they will not call and make sure that you're home to receive it.

❤ Talk to your florist about proper flower care!

There are many instances where someone orders flowers and within 48 hours they are wilting or dead. 9 times out of 10 it has nothing to do with the quality of the flower you were sold. Florists know that every flower has certain needs that have to be met - and simply cutting the stems once and throwing a packet of food in the water is not necessarily sufficient for those flowers to last. Some flowers don't like direct sunlight, some don't do well without multiple water changes, either way your florist will know exactly what to do to make sure that your flowers last a long time.

Basic Care Tips:

Please do not leave your flowers in your car or garage if the temperature is going to dip below freezing. Flowers generally are placed in a cooler for longevity, but once they get frozen there is nothing that will bring them back.

Do not put them in a refrigerator with fruit. Fruit produces gas as it ripens which will cause your flowers to die very quickly.

Cut about 1/2 an inch off the bottom at an angle and get them into water as soon as possible. Especially roses, which drink a lot. Cool/cold temperature water will keep your roses from opening quickly. If they aren't open at all - warm water will open them, but then make sure to switch to cold.

❤❤ Your best bet is to always go directly to your florist. Shop local. Not only will they know everything you need to make your flowers last, but they are the one's who do the design work. They will know what looks beautiful together, what is more expensive, and also how to make sure that you get something that's unique and worth every dollar you spend. ❤❤

We recommend Bella Fiori Floral and Event Design for all your floral needs! Place your orders for Valentine's Day soon! And don't forget to ask them about the best way to care for your flowers!

To all our wonderful customers and followers:

We deeply apologize for being so absent from your news feeds. This past year has been full of change and growth for our artists and our business.

We have moved our location to a larger studio area and are currently in the middle of making it into that fun, creative space you all know and love. Once that is done we will be resuming our Painting classes! We are hoping to do so by Spring and will keep you all updated as far as exactly when we will be starting classes.

Not only have we expanded our space, but we've expanded our brand! You may have gotten a taste of it if you follow Bess and Lindsay, but if not...you HAVE to check out Red Poppy Pet Portraits! We gave it a shot for Christmas and the response we got was astounding. We are still working out the kinks, but keep an eye out for this because it is not something you're going to want to miss!

Also, we have a very special announcement from one of our artists. We would like to congratulate Kaleigh on her beautiful baby boy Ayden! We can't wait to see what kind of artistic talent he's got!

Again, we are sorry we've been gone for so long, but 2018 brings a new year and big plans for The Red Poppy. We thank you for being so patient and we ask for a little more to get things settled...but keep those paint brushes ready...because it's going to be a huge year for us and we can't wait to have you all be a part of it.
