Can cupcakes be kept with fresh flowers?

I am looking into a business venture with a local florist but I am concerned about keeping my cupcakes in the same case as the fresh cut flowers. Does anyone know if the flowers will change the taste of the cupcakes or the frosting? I haven’t been able to find an answer to this question.

I used to work at a florist (a very nice one) and on occasion the flowers were delivered with tiny flies. I would say get a separate fridge for the baked goods.

Good luck with your business.

What are the Nicest Black & White wedding flowers?

I’m looking at flowers for my wedding & I’m having a black & white wedding with a splash of hot pink.
What are the nicest type flowers to have?

Well, if you’re using silk flowers you can have anything you want.
There is no such thing as a truly black flower, and most of the flowers that are close to black naturally are very very expensive and hard to find if you can find them.
Perhaps plan on using something like dried eucalyptus leaves spray painted black with your white flowers. For hot pink you could use dianthus or perhaps something that has been dyed like carnations which take up dye very well.
For a formal wedding you might want to simply use white flowers in black vases with pink bows. Roses or lilies always look very formal.

What do they do with they do with the flowers after the Rose Parade?

Do they throw them away or do they do something cool with them. A few years back they made potpourri out of them and sold it. Anyone know what they do with them now?

Many of the covered areas on the floats are with petals that have been pulled off a bloom and each glued separately. They park them in an area that’s like a big open field and charge $7 to come and walk around them and see them up close.

It may be that they make to ones they can get off info potpourri or perhaps they sell them to a company that makes it. This way they can recoup some of the enormous costs involved in the parade. The city has tons of trash to pick up after the parade and have extra police to direct traffic as it is a super traffic jamb in Pasadena, partly due to the parade and partly due to the football game at the stadium. They also set up sections of bleachers in certain areas along the parade route and sell tickets for seats at some. Homes along the route rent out their front yard and/or parkway areas. People camp out days beforehand. I like the potpourri idea and hope they do that so as not to waste so many beautiful blooms. On many floats, where you see a panel of complete blooms, they re often cut off the stem completely or on a very short stem, depending on how they are shaping things

If you get there, it’s really worth seeing them after the parade. You get to see the incredible hand-work it takes to crete them.

My rose plant had TWINS. Two flowers where we see one.Will anyone explain the phenomenon?

The stem of the flower holds a bud & gives a flower. However,my rose had one stem & two complete flowers where we see one.
I am aware of reasons & how human twins come in existence. Rose was indeed a surprise which no one in my contact has ever seen. Any witness to such phenomenon?

It’s being housed by a fairie.

Why do rose bushes not produce any flowers?

I have several bushes and only two have flowered this year, I have fed them regularly and kept them watered. I must add I live in Sweden and we had a really severe winter which killed off lots of my shrubs. The roses did survive but haven’t flowered.
Yes they are all in the garden, not in pots. It has been very warm here, so cannot see any reason for the lack of roses.

Roses need lots of heat from the sun. Could it be that you are having mild weather?

Are they in large containers? If so, they will only bloom for two or three years and then need to be put into the ground or discard and buy new bushes.

Make sure you are feeding with a rose fertilizer.

Is it appropriate to send flowers to a mourning Cantonese family?

My boyfriend’s grandfather passed away in hk and I would like to arrange for flowers to be delivered to the family I had recently spent two weeks with. Is it appropriate to send like white chrysanthemum flowers to the household of the mourning?

I don’t see why not! Chrysanthemums are beautiful and I’m sure they’d be grateful. The colour is also appropriate as in their culture, white symbolises death but in a peaceful way, not in a morbid way. White flowers are very popular at Chinese funerals for this reason.
