FLOWER SCHOOL: How to keep your flowers alive longer!! Tips and tricks to get the longest possible vase life out of your fresh cuts! 🌻

I spent months growing these little freeloaders, so once they leave my hands, I would very much like them to remain among the living for as long as possible. 😂

A few things that make a MUCH bigger difference than people realize:

💧 CHANGE THE WATER!

This is the big one. Flowers are literally drinking the water in that vase. After a couple days, it starts collecting bacteria, plant goo and whatever else is happening in there.

If the water starts looking like something a frog might enjoy, we’ve gone too far.
Dump it. Clean the vase. Add fresh water.

✂️ Give the stems a fresh cut.
Every couple days, snip a little off the bottom. Just a little sniparoo. The ends of stems can start to seal up or get clogged with bacteria, so a fresh cut basically reopens their drinking straw.

🍃 Nothing leafy below the waterline!!
Leaves underwater start breaking down so FAST. And decomposing leaves + water = stinky soup. We do not want stinky soup!

🌡️ Your flowers like it cooler than you do.
Keep them away from heat vents, blazing sunny windows and hot appliances. That gorgeous spot where the afternoon sun absolutely cooks your kitchen counter?
Your bouquet hates it there. 😂

🍎 Move them away from the fruit bowl.
This one surprises people! Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas, which can speed up aging in flowers. Keep the nanners away!

🌸 One flower dying before everybody else? Remove her!! Different varieties naturally have different vase lives. If one bloom starts getting funky, pull it out instead of letting it deteriorate in the arrangement. Your bouquet does NOT have to die as a group project!

And finally…
Some flowers simply last longer than others. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A flower fading after several days doesn’t necessarily mean something went wrong. That’s nature doing nature things.

Pull the tired blooms, rearrange what’s left, shorten the stems, put them in a smaller vase…and suddenly you have Blumes jr. 🌸

Fresh flowers aren’t permanent, unfortunately. 😒

But with a little care, we can absolutely make them last as long as possible!

🌸 Help me settle something! 🌸

When you’re scrolling Facebook and thinking about grabbing some fresh flowers, which makes you MORE likely to buy?

🌼 A: Seeing pictures of arrangements that are already made + available.
💐 B: Seeing a post that says “I have fresh flowers available!” and reaching out for some.
👀 C: Honestly… I need to SEE them first or I forget how bad I need them 😂

I’m curious how you guys shop because I’m currently swimming in blooms over here and trying to figure out the best way to get them into your houses instead of my compost pile. 🤣

I could sit and stare at them all day but I would much rather you get to enjoy them!

Fresh Flower Friday 🌻

The joy I get from walking through the gardens with my snips never gets old. I never head out with a recipe. I just see what’s blooming, what colors are vibing, and let the flowers decide. I think that’s my favorite part. While I pick and choose and plot and plan what flowers to grow, seeing them all come together still feels like magic.

Fair warning: we’re entering full Blume season. Which means your feed is about to become aggressively floral. If you need a bouquet (or just an excuse to brighten someone’s day), you know where to find me. 😉

Everyone stay calm. Just kidding. I can’t stay calm. I’m so excited!! My Lisianthus are actually blooming!!!! This was a huge test for me! I bought these plugs from a dear friend who had babied them for months before I received them. Lisianthus have a loooonnnnggggg grow time. And they tend to be a little temperamental. But I kept them happy! And they are here!!! And I’m just so proud of them! Only 2 varieties saying hello currently, but the rest are well on their way. Look at the ruffles in the white. Like a Rose, but fancier. Ugh. I just love them!! Stay tuned for when they really get going so you can snag some before they are gone. 😍

Sunday Flower Spotlight.
Gladiolus.
Aka: Glads (in my world)
“Funeral flowers?” 🙄

I whole heartedly disagree!!!
Just Look at these beauties!!!

Every year I grab a bag or two of corms just to trial new varieties.. and every year they surprise me a little more!

They have officially earned a permanent spot in the gardens.

Somewhere along the way, gladiolus got labeled as “funeral flowers,” and I think that’s a super shame.

Because when they start blooming, they’re absolute show-offs. Every stem stops me in my tracks and takes my breath away!!

It’s been fun trying to incorporate them into my not so tall arrangements, but I think they speak for themselves!

Tell me your thoughts! Are you on board for a Glad comeback? Or do you still see them as funeral flowers?!

Gladiolus are seriously underrated 💜

Hello, flower friends! 🌸

First of all.. THANK YOU for being here!

Whether you’ve been following this crazy flower adventure from the beginning or you’re brand new around here, I’m so very happy you found your way to this little corner of Facebook. With so many new faces joining us lately, I thought it was finally time for a proper introduction and a little Cliff Notes version of what Funky Fresh is all about!

Hi! I’m Krista! 👋
I’m the owner, grower, designer, marketer, delivery driver, professional w**d puller, bucket scrubber, and wearer of about 47 other hats here at Funky Fresh Blume Co! If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the flowers…it’s me! 😊

Around here, you’ll find flowers grown with a whole lot of love, behind-the-scenes chaos, wedding magic, gardening wins (and plenty of fails 🤣), flower tips, and probably a few stories about deer and bugs trying to eat all my hard work.

But at the heart of it all, my favorite part is creating flowers for your special moments.

Whether you’re planning your dream wedding, surprising someone “just because,” honoring a loved one, treating yourself to a flower subscription, hosting a bloom bar, or celebrating one of life’s many milestones, I’d be honored to create something beautiful for you.

Because flowers aren’t just for special occasions.
Sometimes they’re for Tuesdays. 🌸

If you’ve made it this far… I think we’re officially friends. 😊

Thanks for following along and supporting this crazy dream of mine. I can’t wait to share more flowers, more behind-the-scenes chaos, and hopefully brighten your feed along the way.

Now I’d love to get to know you!
Tell me… how did you find Funky Fresh? Are you a gardener, a flower lover, a bride-to-be, or did Facebook randomly decide we should be friends? 🌸
