Prom Flowers April 24, 2010

Alyssa got the full package. Handheld bouquet, flower ring and hairpiece.
This is how we assemble the corsages. Line them up
on the "corsage bar" and make four at a time. Its a
tedious, sticky, messy procedure, but, the  outcome
is worth it.
We had several schools with proms this weekend, to keep them organized, 
each school had a different colored box.
  
These two decided to meet at Stems to pick up their flowers
before they headed out for the evening.

 
A few bouts.

A N E M O N E

Anemone.  
This just might be my favorite cut flower.  



Comes from the Greek word , "windflower", the petals close in the dark and the cool,
and opens with the light and the warmth. It is said that the anemone
sprang from Aphrodite's tears as she mourned the death of her lover, Adonis.

Represents anticipation. 
Rightly so, as when these flowers open, I feel a fresh flirt with spring.
