Florist's Day in Russia
July 24 · Level 2 · #1981 of 2238
Florist's Day celebrates the people behind bouquets, floral arrangements and flower-filled occasions in Russia. Their craft combines an eye for colour and shape with plant knowledge: an arrangement needs to stay fresh as well as look beautiful.
How it is celebrated: florists showcase their work, exchange congratulations and run workshops. Flower shops and floristry schools introduce visitors to arranging techniques and cut-flower care.
Daffodils need special preparation before joining a mixed bouquet. Sap released by freshly cut stems can shorten the vase life of other flowers sharing their water.
