** Special Tips **

Calla Lilies:

It is important that our customers understand that the calla lilies behave differently than other varieties of flowers:

- Sometimes the calla lilies are shipped with plastic sleeves around the flower heads. Carefully remove the plastic sleeves upon arrival. 

- When the calla lilies arrive, it is not uncommon for all the flowers in a bunch to bend in the same direction. Place the flowers in bunches of 10 stems and turn the calla lilies so that the blooms are all bending out in different directions. Secure the bunches with rubber bands placed at the bottom, in the middle, and up near the top of the stem. This simple procedure will ensure that your calla lilies will stand tall and strong when put out for display.

- From time to time the small tips (the curly-Q's) of the calla lilies will turn brown. Our world class calla lily farms have assured us that the browning of the tip is a normal occurrence and in no way compromises the quality or integrity of the flower. These little tips are the first part of the lily to emerge from the ground and endure much as the flower grows and matures. To improve the presentation if this condition exists, simply trim the tip (curly-Q) at an angle right below where it begins to turn brown.

Dendrobium Orchids:

- Dendrobium Orchids are shipped with a water tube on each stem. Upon receipt of the flowers, cut the stems about 1/2 inch up from the bottom and put them in clean water.

- The stems of the Dendrobium Orchids do need to be re-cut to encourage water uptake. Once the stems are cut and you have placed the flowers in water, you will see a dramatic improvement in their appearance as the flowers perk up and continue to open.

- Re-cut the stems and change the water every 2 to 3 days or as needed.
