preserved flowers (Preserved Flower), also known as Preserved Flower, as the name suggests, is a method that allows flowers to maintain their shape, beauty and color for months or years, using flower preservation technology without requiring special care, or even water or sunlight. Process and leave them as beautiful as the first day. Therefore, delicate and long-lasting preserved flower arrangements are most suitable as gifts. The characteristic is that the person receiving the gift does not need to spend time taking care of them and can see the beautiful flowers every day.
To whom are preserved flowers best suited?
Send flowers to hospitalized patients: When visiting patients in hospitals and health centers, flowers may cause allergies and affect the patients, so it is not advisable to leave them for a long time. A well-kept rose or jasmine bloom can bring thoughtfulness and joy to a patient while in the hospital.
Send Flowers to New Moms: There is nothing better than seeing a mother and her newborn baby happily receive a bouquet of beautiful flowers. If they were preserved flowers, this moment would last forever.
Send flowers to children or friends: a good option for a celebration or birthday gift could be a beautiful flower crown, a hat decorated with small flowers or a small bouquet of preserved roses, which can be placed in their room as a decoration .
Send flowers to your loved one: Without a doubt, a bouquet of roses is the most common typical gift for Valentine’s Day or wedding anniversary. But the main problem with flowers is that after a few days they wilt and lose their freshness and beauty. The flower will never wither and symbolizes the same eternity as the love you have for your partner.
Send flowers to busy city dwellers: Big cities are their natural environment. They live in a noisy environment for a long time. Their daily lives are busy and they have no time to appreciate beauty and the good things in life. Therefore, the best gift is a well-preserved rose, placed in a conspicuous place in the house, which can bring comfort to the soul every day, and does not require time to take care of. It is most suitable for busy Hong Kong people.
The Lunar New Year is coming soon. If you want flowers to bloom and be prosperous in the new year, it is natural to think of placing New Year flowers. Some people may ask when should the New Year flowers be displayed? Generally, you can go to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. But this year’s Lunar New Year comes very early, and the weather is warm, so the annual flowers will bloom earlier. Because the flowers bloom for a shorter time, this year’s annual flowers may be less resistant to blooming than in previous years. The longer the annual flowers are displayed, the better the meaning. If you want to display them for a longer period of time, here are some simple flower care methods and some flower arrangement techniques, which can make them display four times as long as normal.
New Year Flowers/Flower Care Methods
1. Prune annual flowers before placing them
Generally, annual flowers have been pruned before purchase, but they need to be pruned again before being placed at home. If the stems are too long, it will be difficult for the flowers to absorb water. If there is insufficient water, they will naturally wither. It is best to cut off the old cuts along diagonal lines in order to widen the cross-section in contact with water and increase the water-absorbing area to increase water absorption.
2. Change water every day
Generally, changing the water of flowers every day can prevent bacterial growth. If bacteria are allowed to increase, flowers will be susceptible to infection and will wither faster.
3. Remove dead leaves and buds and do not soak them in water
Remove dead leaves and buds as soon as possible, as dead leaves and buds are prone to bacterial growth and can infect other healthy parts. In addition, avoid contact between water and leaves, which may cause leaf rot.
4. The water in the vase is about 3-5cm
The area of stems in contact with water should be reduced as much as possible. If the vase contains too much water, the wider contact area will make it easier to wither. 3-5cm of water in the vase is enough. However, if the amount of water is less than this, the stems will not be able to keep up with the water intake of the flowers.
5. Avoid direct sunlight exposure
Avoid placing annual flowers/flowers in direct sunlight or in places with poor ventilation. Place the bouquets in a cool place far away from the windows so that they can be displayed for a longer period of time.
6. Add soda instead of water
Add a small amount of unflavored soda water to a vase and it is said that the life of the flowers will be extended by four times. This is because the particles of carbonic acid, sulfur substances and glucose solution contained in soda water are very small and are easily absorbed by flowers. But adding flavored soda can damage plant roots and make them susceptible to disease. Source: https://sciencing.com/happens-water-plants-soda-6300916.html
Various bouquet maintenance
Common annual flowers in Hong Kong include peach blossoms, orchids, phalaenopsis, daffodils, etc. Each type of flower needs to be treated differently. Here are the care methods for these bouquets:
peach blossom
Just use clean water to stock peach blossoms. Before entering the water, you can gently peel off the skin of the water-receiving branches to make it easier to absorb water. There is no need to add water to peach blossoms frequently. Only add water when the container is empty. There is no need to change the water, just keep it clean.
Phalaenopsis and Orchids
Likes shady places. It is relatively durable, as long as the damaged water-absorbing roots are cut away, it can be placed for about a month.
Rose
Although roses are not an annual flower, they can be seen in all seasons, so here is a brief mention of how to care for roses. The key to maintaining roses is temperature, avoid overheating and overcooling, 15 to 25 degrees is the most suitable. Also avoid placing them near a window where direct sunlight will shine on the roses.

Valentine's Day Flower Delivery Tips
Valentine's Day is coming soon on February 14, 2025. Giving flowers requires thought, and a Valentine's Day bouquet is one of the most important gifts to prepare. Florists recommend bouquets suitable for couples or different stages of relationship development, such as courtship, honeymoon, proposal, etc. Data shows that more than 198 million roses were consumed for this festival alone , of which 73% were purchased by men>_<
Before sending flowers on Valentine's Day on February 14, learn some interesting sayings to see what stage your relationship has developed to?!
Happy Valentine's Day♥
Love at first sight/ courtship stage
If you are currently in the stage of pursuing a girl and giving flowers to her for the first time, avoid choosing red roses (unless you know that she likes red roses very much), because red roses are mostly suitable for giving to lovers, so as not to make the other person feel abrupt and "scare their loved ones" during the stage of pursuit. It is recommended to choose some pink series bouquets (such as pink roses and pink hydrangeas), which are more stable and will definitely impress the girl you love. The flower language of hydrangea carries the connotations of hope, eternal love, and the possibility of a happy ending.
In Hong Kong and many Western countries, men give flowers and gifts to women on Valentine's Day. Some people say this is gender stereotyping! Why are flowers and gifts always sent by men? But it turns out that in Japan, on Valentine's Day, February 14, the right to give gifts lies with girls, who give chocolates to the boys they like. Boys will return gifts to girls on March 14th, White Day. In fact, for a couple, Valentine's Day is just to inject a little romantic ritual into everyone's ordinary life. Your thoughts are the most important.
Early stages of love
The color white, an expression of purity and innocence, is often associated with fresh beginnings. Sending a white bouquet shows the fun of starting a new relationship, it doesn’t have to be the traditional white roses, white daisies are a fun and playful way to represent the innocence and lightheartedness of Valentine’s Day. In addition, roses in numbers of 12, 20, or 24 of mixed colors are also quite suitable.
Love
Red roses are often used to express true love and passionate love. The stunning and classic red rose conveys the deepest emotions of love and is the perfect way to say "I love you". If you receive red roses, a special relationship is evident. There are also some rules for the number of flowers you send, and different numbers of flowers in a bouquet have different meanings .
Red roses come in a variety of bright colors and combining different colors together creates a strong feeling of love. The sweet scent of red roses makes this Valentine’s Day one you will never forget. For a more modern romantic design, consider including bouquets in other hues, such as lisianthus and mandarin orange.
Proposal - Moving to the next stage of love
If both of you have reached a consensus to move your love story to the next stage - marriage, many men will take advantage of the warm and romantic Valentine's Day to propose. A perfect proposal definitely requires careful and thorough preparation. In Hong Kong, 50 and 99 red roses are the most popular in the proposal flower series.
Honeymoon period
When a newlywed surprises her with a bouquet of flowers delivered to the office on Valentine’s Day, you score “extra points” because it shows that you’re willing to declare your love to everyone! In addition, when she returns home, she will feel cared for from the bottom of her heart, which will add a lot to your sweet newlywed life.
enthusiasm
The combination filled with bright orange and gold bouquets easily evokes passion, enthusiasm and desire. If she doesn't like roses, consider tulips. Tulips are always exciting and one of the most unique flowers to send or receive, and are also loved by some professional women or ladies with experience in life.
Deep friendship
Yellow roses are an expression of vitality, easily evoking sunny joy, warmth and welcome, and they are a symbol of friendship and caring.
As the relationship develops, after being together for a long time, you already know each other's preferences very well. Then it will be easier and more perfect to choose a bouquet based on the girl's preferences. Bouquets become symbols of different experiences and relationship milestones in life. Take note of your loved one's favorite flowers, choose an arrangement that means the most, and cherish each of your Valentine's Days.
In case our flower shop sells out of dried flowers on February 14th, we should book Valentine's Day bouquets as early as possible to ensure that plans for the day go smoothly and spend a romantic Valentine's Day.

With the relaxation of restrictions on gatherings of various types of weddings (churches, restaurants, wedding banquets, etc.), weddings that couples have postponed for a year can finally be scheduled. It is also good news for everyone who is planning a proposal. If you want to spend the rest of your life with your significant other, have you thought about how to propose? In addition to preparing the proposal bouquet and wedding rings, you can also choose to use something special and unforgettable! Here are some tips for proposing, hoping to help you prepare:
Proposal Tips
Adequate preparation
Start planning with your proposal budget and date. For example, the dress of the day should not only be your dress, but also the dress of your partner. Of course, you will want to record the moment of the proposal with photos or videos, but remember to remind your partner. Keep it secret and don't let it be known that you want to propose. Prepare your proposal plan and filing. If you want to prepare romantic elements such as a video or a band, rehearsing in advance will make you foolproof. Remember to prepare a sincere proposal oath and think carefully about your partner's constant companionship. Nothing is more romantic than your sincerity. Your partner will see everything you do and will even think of it on every wedding anniversary .
Choose the best location and date
After getting along and getting along, there were many memories and ups and downs along the way. In addition to booking an expensive dinner, why not try it at other places with more memorable value? Whether it is at home, a private party room, beside Victoria Harbor, on the top of a mountain or where you first met, these places may bring different surprises to your partner. However, you should pay attention to your partner's hobbies. If your partner doesn't like the excitement and you choose to propose in the crowds of Victoria Harbor, please be lucky. In addition, proposing on some love anniversaries or holidays is also very romantic!
Don’t forget the proposal gift
Sending fresh bouquets is a good choice, and the proposal bouquet most people choose is roses, because roses can best express love. You should also pay attention to the number of flowers in a proposal bouquet. For example, sending 99 roses means forever. Love, 50 branches means loving you without regrets. In addition to the proposal bouquet, you can also prepare your lover's favorite food, a candlelight dinner cooked by you, your favorite dessert, etc. Proposal videos are also a good gift. If you record the small moments in your life, add some romantic music and simple editing, this little surprise will shine on the proposal day.
When it comes to proposal gifts, how can we miss out on engagement rings? Rings represent love and commitment, but there are too many brands and I don’t know how to choose?

Although we have provided some tips for proposing, the most important thing is to arrange the best way to propose according to the hobbies and personality of your partner! Let’s arrange an unforgettable and romantic start for your marriage!

The number of flowers sent and different varieties of flowers represent the different intentions of the flower senders. Of course, the first choice for romance is to send roses. A delicate bouquet of roses is the perfect way to express romantic love. Whether it's a date, anniversary, wedding, birthday, proposal or Valentine's Day , roses are suitable for sending.
However, the roses must be given in the right “color and quantity”! Different numbers of roses have different meanings and represent different levels of love. Sending flowers is a way of expressing love between men and women. In order to help you convey your love to each other better, let the florist introduce the most common meanings of the number and color of roses:
The meaning of the number of flowers sent-rose flower language
The meaning of 1 rose: You are the only one in my heart, love at first sight.
The meaning of 5 roses: I am sincerely happy to meet you.
11 roses mean: I will devote my whole heart to you and love you forever.
12 roses mean: My love for you grows day by day.
20 roses: I am only sincere to you, love you forever, and my love will never change.
24 roses: I miss you every moment of the day, 24 hours a day.
36 roses: full of romantic moments with you.
50 roses mean: love without regrets.
The meaning of 99 roses : everlasting love.
rose color language
Roses have a history of thousands of years and come in many colors. The most common ones are red roses, white roses and pink roses. Rose bouquets generally represent romantic love. In fact, apart from the number of branches, each color of roses has its own flower language and meaning. Sending flowers of the wrong color may also send the wrong message.
Red roses: filled with the passion and passionate love of the sender.
White rose: pure, true love. It also means to show respect for the other party.
Pink Rose: Elegant, sweet romance; with the promise of love. There is also a sense of gratitude.
Yellow Rose: Expresses deep friendship, friendship, and enjoyment with you.
Orange rose: Praises youth and beauty, and has the meaning of blessing the other person.
Black rose: represents sincerity and tenderness, and also implies that "you only belong to me".
The price of a single ordinary rose is about tens of Hong Kong dollars. However, Kenya roses, which have emerged in recent years, have more choices and bright colors, so the price will be more expensive. The price of a bouquet of roses in a Hong Kong flower shop ranges from several hundred to several thousand. Sending a bouquet of flowers is also to convey your feelings to the other person. If you send the right number and color on the right occasion, you can express your feelings even more. Finally, I wish all lovers to get married eventually. Not sure how to choose flowers? Take a look at the flower ordering recommendations our customers left for us for reference.
Postscript: The evolution history of roses
There are now more than 100 types of roses. The characteristics of old rose varieties are that they can adapt to increasingly difficult environments, grow well in various soil conditions, are tenacious, survive even in winter without additional protection, and have strong resistance to diseases and insect pests. Of course roses are fragrant, but why do new varieties appear?
Most roses in the past only bloomed once in the summer, and rose flowers often only had one bud instead of several eye-catching buds, which were not gorgeous enough. The single buds are less attractive than other varieties of flowers and are not available in sufficient quantities. Therefore, the previous roses were improved and developed to become more refined. At first the mixed roses only evolve into pink, but over time the shape of the rose buds, petals, open flowers, and color range can be controlled. As a result, more than one hundred types of roses have developed. More about: Rose History .
