Florets - Floral Quote - # 121 - by Malin Hidesäter

" Ah, lovely, colourful and sweet-scented chrysanthemums! Come the autumn, there are so many varieties to choose between, and they last for ages. A 3,000-year-old legend tells how the emperor of China ordered a few of his men to seek out a magic herb that would bring eternal youth. The men returned with some twigs of chrysanthemum. Eternal youth or not, chrysanthemums is now second only to the rose in terms of numbers sold."

Florets - Floral Quote - # 109 - by Malin Hidesäter

"I couldn't agree with anyone who doesn't like yellow. No other colour brings out such desire in me to go out and buy flowers. Just think of daffodils! Those long green stalks lying in boxes in the grocery store in the spring are like ugly ducklings. They might not look like much until they brilliantly transform into beautiful sun-yellow trumpets."

Florets - Floral Quote - # 96 - by Malin Hidesäter and Anna Skoog

" Beloved Tulips - Sometimes it is really hard to decide because there are so many different tulips to choose from. But why pick one when you can have several? Double, single, feathered or flamed - just mix and match. Place the flowers in your cream jug, crystal vases or china cups. Grandmother's coffee set may finally come into use!"

Florets - Floral Quote - # 92 - by Malin Hidesäter

"Christmas is coming! The time leading up to Christmas, before everything gets stressful, is lovely. I buy wreaths and decorate the entire house with flowers, not least hyacinths, for their scent is a must in December. Of course, it's lovely to have Christmas baskets and potted hyacinths but cut flowers can bring just as much Christmas spirit into the home. Why not release the traditional flowers like amaryllis and hyacinths from their pots and bulbs and use them in exciting different ways?"
