On Earth Day I received this beautiful bouquet of California grown, eco-friendly roses by California Blooms. They are a beautiful pale green in shade and I'm happy to report a full week later they are still going strong as they grace my table.
They arrived via FEDEX Priority in a nice looking cardboard box and there was even a small ice pack in there to keep the blooms cool during travel. The message card was taped neatly to the inside of the lid making it easy to find and read your senders message.
Upon arrival, I followed California Blooms rose care handling instructions which included trimming an inch off each stem at a 45 degree angle, removing foliage that will be underwater, and adding the provided floral preservative packet to the fresh, room temperature water. And aside from adding more fresh water here and there, my only other job was to enjoy them.
