What to do with the flowers?

Did you get cut flowers / bouquet and don't know what to do with them? Here are some suggestions!

1. Take good care of them: Get them into water as soon as possible. If you don't have a flower vase, a large glass or bottle might do. Add enough water that all the stems are submerged in water, but not so much that the water covers the petals of the flowers. Usually it is enough to fill about 1/3 of the flower vase. If flower food is included, open the package and pour the contents into the water. To extend the life of the flowers, it is a good idea to remove all leaves that fall into the water and change the water and cut a little from the bottom of the stems every few days.

2. Find the right place for them: Choose a place that allows you and others to enjoy the flowers as much as possible, but also consider a place that allows the flowers to live longer, preferably away from sources of heat and direct sunlight.

3. Enjoy the flowers: Take a moment to enjoy the colors, smells and shapes of the flowers.

4. Thank for the thoughtfulness of the person who sent you the flowers and let them know how much joy the delivery has brought you.

5. Share the joy! Take a photo of the flowers, post on social media and tag us @reykjavikurblom
