We study to make bouquets.

Flowers for a bouquet cut a sharp knife early in the morning or in the evening. From the bottom part of a stalk delete leaves, at roses - thorns, and at an of flowers of a lilac or a jasmin the ends of stalks split. Before drawing up of a bouquet cuts are desirable for updating a sharp knife obliquely. On the bottom part of a stalk of a chrysanthemum, a carnation or a cyclamen it is necessary to make a cut on depth 2 see.

If flowers contain latex or lacteal juice the ends of stalks of such plants burn above a flame or dip into boiled water and at once put in cold water. To such colors concern a gortensia, a dahlia, a puasencia, a peony and others. That lilies remained fresh and clean from pollen longer, on them it is desirable to remove anther. Having defined with the size and the form of a bouquet, select odd quantity a flowers with stalks of different length. The composition in a bouquet is looked more interestingly when use different stages of dissolution - from a dense bud up to completely dismissed flower. The length of the shortest stalk is equal X Lengths of average, length of average -X of highest. In a vase flowers should be put under different corners, in different directions and not too closer. Closer to edges of a bouquet the most pale and fine flowers, and juicy have, large or dark tones place closer to the centre.

If a vase low, flowers in it have more heaply, but nevertheless it is desirable to leave empty seats between stalks and colors. Depending on purpose, the size and forms of a vase define a kind of the bouquet. More round and low in accurate vase are well looked on a lunch table. Higher and large compositions establish on a floor. Such bouquets from plants with long stalks are very beautiful in floor vase. At registration of a table for business or solemn action place some low bouquets which do not prevent to communicate and work sitting for a table. Unilateral bouquets make for a review on the one hand, that frequently apply at exhibitions an of flowers, placing them near a wall. And on a shelf it will be better to look a bouquet from hanging down stalks with the heads lowered downwards an of flowers. For a high vase select high flowers. In a thin and high vase with the lengthened neck the bouquet of the round form with separate stalks hanging down downwards and colors interestingly looks.

The low vase gives ample opportunities of drawing up of bouquets of the various form, switching not simetryc which create selection of plants of different height and a configuration. At a small amount an of flowers their number in a bouquet should be necessarily odd. For definition of the form of a bouquet widely use a line of Hogart, named the English artist, or a line of beauty. The size of a bouquet should match to the size of a vase. Flowers in a vase should be higher in 1,5-2 times, and the length of the highest flower in a low vase to exceed its diameter in 1,5-2 times. Due to a high bouquet the low ceiling will seem above. The vase with a bouquet, put in a corner, will create impression of a gleam and as if will move apart walls of a narrow room. Clay vase approach for field, meadow and garden an of flowers. Ceramic - for Gladiolus, lilacs, chrysanthemums. Glass vase approach for carnations, a mignonette, daisies. Vase crystal and ceramic are beautiful, but it is more preferable nevertheless ceramic, they do not pass light, and in them more uniform temperature, than in crystal vase is kept, and it is very important for an of flowers.

One of the basic conditions determining beauty of a bouquet, - the correct selection of plants creating color scale. All paints existing in a nature are formed by mixing three basic - red, yellow and dark blue different intensity and in various quantitative combinations. Contrast harmonious combinations are, for example, red and green, yellow and violet, dark blue and orange. Disharmony in a combination of some painting& can be smoothed if to place between them white flowers which are combined with anyone. Monophonic combinations make of shades of one color of different intensity, for example, light pink, pink and red. The bouquets made by one color of flowers of one grade or a kind are always beautiful. For example, dark blue delfinium and orange lilies or a white jasmin. Yellow irises and violet lupin. Red and white carnations.

The earlier from the moment of the beginning of flowering flowers are cut off, the they will stay fresh longer. The below the temperature, but is not lower than 0 degrees, and humidity of air is higher, the flowers are longer kept. Utensils under flowers carefully wash. The best water for an of flowers - rain, snow or defended. Water in colors regularly is necessary for changing, cut simultaneously ends of stalks. Do not cut only spring roses. At a lilac and chrysanthemums stalks do not cut, and break off and make a cut in several places in that part of a stalk which is shipped in water. Asters and love dahlias, that it changed water in the evening. Almost to all colors, except for a carnation, spraying by water is useful, it replaces with it dew.

To prolongation of life the of flowers is applied with nutritious solutions. Add sugar with substances bactericidal and acidifying water more often. Some flowers are incompatible with each other in bouquets in connection with pernicious action of sharp aroma or juice. Roses and carnations quickly wither at the presence of others an of flowers. Lilies of the valley, narcissuses, a mignonette, carnations, lilies accelerate withering the majority of others an of flowers. The of flowers and to reduction of their life promotes ageing ethylene, selected with mature fruits, is especial apples. Branch of geraniums will help to keep many flowers longer. The rose becomes especially fragrant from the neighbourhood of an ordinary onions.
