Our Favorite Ways to Bring the Scents Inside

There's a reason why we make beautiful vases - we love flowers! They look good, they smell good and there is something about bringing nature inside that just feels good.  Our indoor spaces are both big and small and there's a floral statement that is just right for every corner of your home. We're here to share some of our favorites.

Small & Single

Some blooms are pretty enough on their own, and it just takes one - especially if you are filling a small space like a bathroom counter, or a guestroom night stand.  Fragrant blooms are perfect here because a single stem will infuse a subtle scent to keep spaces smelling fresh.

Our favorites include Tuberose, Roses, Lilacs and Jasmine.

Blooms & Greens

Sometimes it's as much about the blooms as the beautiful greens that make them pop. Think of it like accessories that make an outfit. This is also a great way to break up store-bought bouquets into 2 or 3 more vases for placement in other rooms. Greens can be purchased from the florist or can be taken right from your own yard!

Our favorites include Eucalyptus, Bells of Ireland, several kinds of fern, and grasses.

Tall & Dramatic

You want a statement piece - it's an occasion or event where guests are greeted with a dramatic floral wow!  This can be the centerpiece on a table, a pop in a hallway or a colorful welcome in an entryway. Think long stalks and colorful blooms mixed with greens.

Our favorites include Gladiolus, Snapdragons, Calla Lilies and Peonies.

Care & Cutting of Your Stems

• Cutting. The best time to cut stems and branches is in the early morning or evening when the air is cool. Use sharp pruners.
• Roses: Make cuts above a set of five leaves.
• Shrubs: Cut flowers that grow in clusters, such as lilac and mock orange, before all buds have opened.
• Caring. As you cut, plunge all branches or stems immediately in a bucket of lukewarm water. Before arranging woody ones (including flowering plum, lilac, and magnolia), remove the lower leaves, recut the stem ends at a slant, and make a 1- to 2-inch slit through the bottom of each stem.
• Preserving. Fill a vase with lukewarm water, then add a floral preservative before inserting cuttings. Keep arrangements out of direct sunlight, and change the water and recut stem ends as needed.
