Flowers have long been used to symbolize life�s important events and emotions. Roses are symbols of love, lilies, the flowers of death and renewal, and carnations a sign of appreciation. We use flowers as wedding decorations, Valentine�s Day presents and Christmas ornaments. No matter what the occasion is, a beautiful flower arrangement is a wonderful way to celebrate life through vibrant colors and rich floral scents.
Keep the soil of your Christmas cactus evenly moist, but never soggy. Water regularly and allow the soil to dry out a little between waterings. Remember this is a plant native to the tropics even though its name says "cactus." You will want to feed your Christmas cactus regularly during the fast growth months of March through September with a houseplant fertilizer.The ranunculus is a unique flower. The center of the flower always have a different colour. This winter flower comes in yellow, white, red, pink and orange.Peonies have many varieties such as Claudia, Early Windflower, Cytherea and Sea Shell. There are many more. They are very showy flowers and have different blooming patterns which we call single, Japanese, Anemone, Semi double, Crown, Semi Rose, Rose and Bomb.Leucadendrons come in multi colours. Examples of varieties are the Safari Sunset, Perfection, Julie, Dragon Eyes and others.
Once you have chosen all of your flowers and greenery, begin arranging them in the container. It will take several tries and lot of adjusting before your create a finished product, but be confident and do what looks best. Arranging flowers is an intuitive art, and if you have chosen a good color scheme and a variety of shapes and sizes, the correct eye-pleasing concoction will often fall into place with little effort. When you are finished, you will have a beautiful, natural decoration to perk up even the gloomiest of environments, and you will have the satisfaction of having created a wonderful work of art.
