Celebrate mothers day from www.cakenflowers.com

Make-Up or Spa: We love mom just the way she is, but every woman likes to “freshen up.” Does mom need new make-up or a beauty product rejuvenation? You could make an appointment at the local spa (like last year) or, better yet, pamper her with cool personal care gifts that she can use at home for more than just a day. i personally would prefer Pineapple Spa located near the Palace in Gudabiya

Treat Mom to Tea
Afternoon tea is so civilized, and such a great way to spend time with mom. Many cities have at least one parlor or hotel that offers a traditional afternoon tea with a savory course of finger sandwiches on a 3-tier tray, followed by assorted petit fours. If available in your area, Japanese tea service is a lovely experience as well. Try afternoon tea at the Diplomat Radisson in Diplomatic Area

Walk into the Sunset
Take your mum and some old pictures and walk along the shore watching the sunset. You could pack a small snack and a grass mat with some chairs to watch the sunset pondering over your special childhood moments together . A cup of hot tea is also recommended.

Making your fresh flowers last longer

A fresh flower boquet may mesmerize you but make boquets droop within hours or a day after you receive them. This small piece of information can be quite useful when you receive your next boquet. That way you can make sure that you can enjoy your boquet for a lot longer time than usual.

Take care to select the flower stems before you put them into a vase.

  • Flower stems should be green and smooth, not slimy
  • Water should smell fresh
  • No broken stems or drooping buds


Before You Put them into the Vase

  • Keep cut flowers cool, until you can get them into water
  • Make a fresh cut an inch or two up the stem, while stems are under water
  • Make sure the vase and cutting tools are clean
  • Remove any leaves that will be below the water surface
  • Use the packet of flower food that comes with your flowers


Caring for Your Cut Flowers - Keep Them Blooming

  • Keep cut flowers out of direct sunlight and drafts
  • Change the water frequently (Every other day)
  • Make a fresh cut each time you change the water


Good Choices for Long Lasting Cut Flowers

  • Alstroemerias (6-14 days) Very popular, even though most people wouldn’t know them by name. However they are sensitive to fluoride in water and ethylene gas. Keep away from produce.

  • Carnations (7-14 days) Carnations are extremely dependable. They just keep coming out with new varieties and what colors they can’t breed, they simply dye.

  • Delphiniums (7-14 days) You can’t beat Delphiniums for shades of blue and purple. Like Alstroemeria, these are sensitive to ethylene gas.

  • Lilies (7-14 days) Choose sprays with a few slightly opened lower buds. Remove the anthers to prevent pollen from coming in contact with clothing and staining.

  • Roses (6-12 days) The classic. And with over 20,000 varieties, they never get boring.

  • Sunflowers (6-12 days) Generally available in late summer. Sunflowers can be top heavy, so use a vase that can support them.

Best of Luck!!!

Cakenflowers.com " A website with love in mind "


Hi,
My name is Roger Pinto. This is my way to make people happy . This website gives choice for people to choose for the best fresh flowers, gifts , chocolates and send them to their loved ones worldwide. My aim is to bridge the gap between the suppliers & the retailers and come somewhere in the middle. The whole idea about www.cakenflowers.com dint start just like that. One day about 2 years ago , my mum came home and asked me that she had a customer who came to her gift store and enquired about sending gifts to india. She dint know about it and told him to enquire at the flower store opposite the road called "Little Flower" , but the guy there was too expensive , he quoted almost 30B.d about 3000rs and so the customer left. Soon enough the customer returned to my mums store and told her ,that he placed an order on a flower website which did the delivery in India for just 350 bucks . Then there was silence and i told me , Hey here goes another part time business . Lets call it Express Flower Delivery Service " One solution , Any Occassion " , its my slogan . So after 2 long years and few hundred deliveries to our credit , this year we decided to launch our new webportal baby " www.cakenflowers.com "
