This is something I struggle with a lot- as a florist and flower grower, I have studied the proper harvest stage of flowers meticulously.
I have so many books that tell me when to cut the flowers so they last the longest on your table.
But- from a consumer prospective I always worry when I give the flowers to you if they are more “closed” they won’t be as alluring to you.
So I am always stuck between giving you more “closed” blooms so you can watch them open on your kitchen table versus giving you the more opened blooms for the immediate “wow” factor.
These photos show the same exact arrangement more closed versus more wow factor.
