Flowers in all its forms have accompanied humanity since the beginning of civilization. They went through a period of abundance and neglect, depending on the momentary social condition. Suffice it to remember the totally red-carnation profane red carnations, whose rehabilitation is so vehemently florists. However, they will not be able to return these flowers to Czech vases. Why also, in the flood of many others, which can be selected all year round, regardless of the season, in Czech florists as different types of exotic fruits or vegetables.
Cut flowers are no longer just a compulsory complement of birthday congratulations and important moments of life. Cut flowers today, it is above all a means to make everyday life more pleasant, an indispensable complement to a modern home. No interior designer can dare to incorporate imaginatively arranged flowers into their imagination. Similar to the choice of wallpaper or carpet color, the shade of a flower can change the mood of the whole apartment and thus affect the psyche of its inhabitants. This is confirmed by the experience of florists, according to which in the selection of flowers people prefer bright and warm shades such as red, orange or yellow, so encouraging colors that can literally charge the psyche literally energy. After all, the ability to raise a person's blood pulse was directly demonstrated in red.
Women who are not afraid to enjoy themselves with a fresh flower, in turn, usually prefer a flower symbolizing in some way the current season. This is also related to the fact that most sales of florists are rising in the spring, when nature wakes up and the flower beds bloom even outside heated greenhouses. A typical representative of spring flowers is a tulip, which also ranks among the top selling flowers. In its close neighborhood we can find gerberas, lilies, chrysanthemums. “Red roses are simply immortal classics. When a man wants to impress a woman, he buys a bouquet of red roses, ”confirms florist Miroslav Dušek, according to which male customer interest has been growing year after year and the popular cliché is no longer true.
The growing number of male customers who have no problem buying flowers just for women has, according to florists experience, also caused a comfortable trend recently - the so-called e-shops. Online florists are the most dynamically developing online stores ever. Apparently this is because flowers are ideal goods that can only be selected by eye. If we can rely on a proven e-shop with a good online presentation offering quality and fresh goods, online flower purchases must beat the stone florist all the way. The customer simply chooses the flower binding according to the photo and the same day the bouquet is delivered to the given address. The customer will receive a receipt and a confirmation of purchase of the flower at his / her e-mail address. And while men cannot praise the convenience of such a purchase, for women it has an unmistakable charm of romance when a delivery boy arrives with a bouquet from a mysterious donor.
Although the popularity and sale of cut flowers is increasing, there are still enough of their opponents, who are particularly concerned about the transience of flora torn from its natural environment. However, even a flower in a vase can be cared for so as to last as long as possible. Every flower needs a stem to be cut at home, fresh water and a pure vase are a matter of course. Every good florist now also adds nutrition for cut flowers to the bouquet. The bag is enough for half a liter of water and contains both the necessary nutrients and a substance that disinfects the water and prevents it from rotting. The water is then not exchanged in the vase, but only added. However, it is not necessary to overdo it with the replenishment of life-giving fluid. The level of fresh, cold water should reach a maximum of one third of the vase. It is not good to place the bouquet in direct sunlight or in drafts, which increases evaporation. It is also never good to put cut flowers near fruit. This renders out ethylene during ripening, which causes the flower to fade more quickly.
