Preparing Flowers for Floral Arrangements

Video Transcript

"Now, that we've greened our container. We're going to prep our flowers. So, we're going to remove the leaves that are going to go below waterline. You always have to remove the leaves; otherwise your water will smell really bad. And, it will cause bacteria in the water. So, on the roses we are removing the leaves and the thorns. We don't want the thorns to get tangled up in the curly willow in the container. And, we're just going to continue with the roses. And, also we're going to remove any bad leaves that look like they're damaged at all. Ok. Then, we're also going to remove the leaves off of the other flowers. And, we're just going to take these off too. Because, we don't really need them on there. So, this is how you prep your flowers. Just take off anything that looks bad."
