Locally sourced flowers help to ensure maximum freshness and longer enjoyment, while supporting U.S. flower farmers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove leaves.<\/strong> Discard leaves that will be submerged in water. This will decrease bacteria buildup and lead to a longer-lasting bouquet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill vase with cold water. <\/strong>Cold water slows down blossoming. You can even add ice cubes to your vase water for extra coolness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut your fresh flower stems to desired length.<\/strong> It&#8217;s best to cut them at a 45-degree angle to allow more water to be soaked up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use flower food and change vase water often<\/strong>. Flower food is a must in keeping your flowers fresh, as is changing the vase water every 2-4 days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design your arrangement.<\/strong> Large and dark flowers should be close to the base of the design, and small and light-colored flowers look best on the outer edge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;California-grown flowers are America&#8217;s flowers,&#8221; said Kasey Cronquist, Board Chairman of the Buy California Marketing Agreement. &#8220;When you chose gorgeous cut flowers for mom this Mother&#8217;s Day, insist on the freshest, finest flowers available \u2013 those grown by California&#8217;s flower farmers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For Mother&#8217;s Day flowers that are as special and unique as mom herself, try using her personality to help pick the perfect petal. Here are some inspirations, if mom is\u2026<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><strong>A girly-girl. <\/strong>She relishes her manicures and pedicures and still likes to play dress up, but with verve and flair that goes well beyond kids&#8217; stuff. For this stylish mama, try a gathering of delicate pink roses adorned with a glossy ribbon in a complementary shade.\u00a0 Ooh-la-la!<\/li>\n<li><strong>An adventure seeker.<\/strong> Just try to keep up with her! She hikes, bikes, explores and dreams of her next adventure with bags packed and passport at-the-ready. For this on-the-go gal, try a pop of vibrant Gerbera Daisies from California that celebrate her zest for living life to the fullest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oh-so-sublime.<\/strong> She inspires greatness and always knows just what to do and say, yet somehow knows when best <em>not<\/em> to say it. For this graceful lady, try a classic bouquet of creamy white lilies that reflect her sophistication and enduring wisdom.<\/li>\n<li><strong>An eternal optimist. <\/strong>Always with a smile and a kind word to say, she looks on the bright side each day. This joyous mom will welcome bright, candy-colored tulips to go along with her fresh outlook on life and all it holds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A renaissance woman.<\/strong> There is nothing she can&#8217;t do or doesn&#8217;t want to do! Her interests are deep, her talents are many, and her energy never ending. A mixed bouquet of California-grown springtime favorites, such as hydrangeas and sweet peas, will appeal to mom&#8217;s versatility and ready-for-anything attitude.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about California cut flowers, visit the California Grown website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiagrown.org\/farmers\/\" target=\"_blank\">californiagrown.org\/farmers\/<\/a> and view a video of cut flower farmer, <a href=\"http:\/\/californiagrown.org\/farmers\/profile.php?grower=flowers\" target=\"_blank\">Janet Louie<\/a> of Green Valley Floral in Salinas.
