Annuals are those flowers that complete their lifecycle in just one growing season. In other words, you plant a seed (or a seedling plant), it grows foliage, then flowers, seeds and then the plant dies, all in the same year. Annual flowers tend to bloom from spring until autumn frost. Although they must be replanted each year, annuals are hard to beat in terms of showy, season-long color.

Perennials are those flowers that grow for three or more years. Although most perennials tend to have a relatively short season of bloom, combining several species in your planting can yield season-long color.

Nombrar al menos tres flores que florecen en la primavera o a principios de verano adecuados para el arreglo floral interiores.

3

Nombrar al menos tres flores que no se mantienen frescas cuando se cortan y tres que sí lo hacen.

4

Dar seis sugerencias en relación con el corte de flores y su atención posterior, tal como cuándo se debe cortar, cómo cortar y cómo conservarlas.

5

¿En qué fase de desarrollo deberían cortarse las rosas, gladiolas y dalias?

Roses

Cut when petals are half-open. This allows for the rose to open fully after harvest.

Gladioluses

Cut when 3/4 of the flowers have opened. Cut a spike that contains 1-4 open blooms on it. Harvest in early morning before stalks dry and leave 3-4 leaves on on plant harvested from to allow for the plant to produce the following year.

Dahlias

Cut when flowers are almost fully open. Harvesting sooner may cause them not to open at all.

6

Dar tres sugerencias sobre la relación de los contenedores y las flores utilizadas y tres en relación a la habitación y el mobiliario.

Containers

Some flowers are considered to be more suited to more ornate containers, and some to simple. For instance, if you were doing an arrangement with uses, use Glass or ceramic containers. For wildflowers such as daisies, use wicker or plastic. Use bowls or short baskets for short flowers. Use baskets for silk flowers or flowers like daisies. Use tall vases for tall flowers.

The size and shape of the container and arrangement also depends on it's intended use.

• Small arrangements like the Mound can be used on end tables or as accent pieces.
• Triangular arrangements are often used as altar centerpieces or as focal pieces along walls to add visual interest to the blank space.
• Asymmetrical arrangements work best in shallow containers and are often used as focal points in entryways, on mantels, and on the end of buffet tables.
• The Crescent is similar to the Asymmetrical arrangement. Low, oblong or oval containers are often used, and it is placed in similar locations to the Asymmetrical arrangements.
• The Hogarth Curve is an attention-grabber. it is often displayed prominently in tall vase or as a door or wall piece.

Room furnishings

Use large arrangements for table center pieces. Use small arrangements for side or end tables. Flower colors should contrast with the wall colors.
