- Keep fresh flowers away from drafts and extreme temperatures, which can quickly dry out the flowers and cause wilting.
- If your flowers came in plastic, remove this as soon as possible.
- Do not place your arrangement near fruit or in the path of cigarette smoke. The ethylene gas is detrimental to many flower types.
- Avoid placing flower arrangements in windowsills and other areas with full sun where flowers can wilt due to overheating.
- Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.

On any given day you might meet Oban, our extremely friendly Old English Sheepdog, when you come into Point Grey Village Flowers. Oban usually works on slower days because welcoming everyone into the store is a tiring job for Oban who will be turning 10 later this month.
Be sure to stop by to say "Hi" to Oban next time you are in the neighbourhood.
P.S. There are treats on the counter feel free to give him one...he will direct you to their location.

So, you just had flowers delivered to you, now what?
How To Keep Your Flowers Looking Fresh
- Keep your vase filled with water! All flower and foliage stems should be submerged. Flowers stay fresher, longer when they can get a drink!
- If your flowers came in a basket or other container with foam, add fresh water every day.
- As your flowers age immediately remove dead or wilting leaves and stems from fresh flower arrangements.
- Watch your water. When it gets cloudy it’s time to change it out.
Changing The Water In Your Flower Arrangement
- After carefully removing the good flowers, clean the vase thoroughly with soapy water to remove any bacteria that could cause the fresh flowers to deteriorate even quicker. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.
- Replace the water and mix in the flower preservative provided by your florist, according to the instructions on the packet.
- For best results, cut stems at an angle about one inch from the bottom. This allows them to better absorb water.
- Place loose stems or wrapped bouquets of fresh flowers in your water mixture as soon as possible.
