Wedding Centerpiece

Another winner from Visser's Florist & Greenhouses in Anaheim. This wedding centerpiece is a sample for an upcoming wedding. This stunning arrangement is created from Vendella and Pink roses and white hydrangea, with orchids submerged in the vase.

Needless to say, the bride-to-be was completely overwhelmed by it. The wedding will feature several of these centerpieces, as well as other complementing flowers and arrangements throughout the room. This will surely be a wedding day to remember.

Anaheim Plant Rental

Just got done delivering a big truckload of rental plants to the Anaheim Convention Center. I know I've said it before, but plants make such a wonderful difference in the look of a space. It's like they bring it to life, without detracting from the main focus of the area.

This convention is going to be held every year in Anaheim, and they decided to use Visser's Florist and Greenhouses for their plant rental. The benefits to them are clear: Beautiful plants at a reasonable price; no hassle delivery and pick-up when the convention is over; AND Visser's shows up during the convention to water the plants and keep them looking great.

So, whether you are a big event company, renting a small booth at a convention, or having any size meeting in the Anaheim or Orange County area, please call us at 714 772-9900. You won't be sorry.

Cheap Plants

I just thought I'd take a minute to remind you that Visser's Florist & Greenhouses has two 3,000 square foot greenhouses full of beautiful plants.

Let's face it, during this time of economic uncertainty, we all have to tighten our belts a bit. That's where Visser's comes in. Plants make wonderful gifts, and we have hundreds of beautiful plants starting at less than $5.00. In fact, we probably have 300 plants in the "under $5.00 range". In addition, we have all sorts of plants and trees in other price ranges.

It's worth it to come in and take a look. If nothing else, strolling through our greenhouses will be the happiest 15 minutes of your whole day. Don't you owe it to yourself?

Rejuvenating Hydrangea

I learned a cool tip from watching a flower video lately. It has to do with hydrangea and how it sometimes wilts and dies prematurely. You can SOMETIMES fix it by doing the following:

Dip the head in cool water for a few minutes. Then cut the stem off a pretty good amount--say 3" if you can. Then, place the stem in HOT water for a couple of hours. Usually, it will come back to life and look very close to what it was. Give it a try!

Thanks to the Floral Design Institute for the tip. Here is the complete video.

Sansevieria cylindrical (Snake Plant)

Looking for a plant that is unusual and easy to care for—maybe for Father’s Day? Why not try this little gem? It’s a succulent, originating in Angola. It’s pretty easy to see why it has the name Snake Plant. The “leaves” are cylindrical and grow up to 5 feet long.

It is very easy to take care of. In the Summer it should be watered once every couple of months. In the winter, maybe once every three or four months. It does best indoors with very little water. The plant does flower, usually once a year, and the flowers are quite fragrant, but it is the unusual beauty of the leaves that attracts most people to this plant.

Why not add a little diversity to your indoor plant collection? Visser’s Florist & Greenhouses sells this beauty for $9.99. Come on in and pick one up today.

Mad Hatter Flowers Part II

Here is the picture of the bunny that went with the Mad Hatter Flowers from Visser's yesterday. Tell me this doesn't look like the bunny that you had when you were a kid.

Mad Hatter Baby Shower Flowers

OMG, this is absolutely the cutest! We designed 7 of these arrangements for a Mad Hatter themed baby shower. Giant Teacups filled with all sorts of whimsical stuff--and made of orchids, gerbera daiseys, roses, lilies and lisianthus.

Just goes to show you that whatever you need in the world of flowers, Visser's Florist and Greenhouses is the place to call.
