CELEBRATE EARTH DAY WITH THE GIFT OF BLOOMING PLANTS AND FLOWERS

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-459" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/thumbnail-1.png" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/thumbnail-1.png 620w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/thumbnail-1-300x145.png 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/thumbnail-1-500x242.png 500w" alt="aster" width="620" height="300" loading="lazy" /></a>One of the last flowers you'll see if you plant a spring garden is the aster, which usually blooms in the late summer and early fall in bright colors like purple, pink, and blue. An ideal perennial to extend the life of your garden, asters are also a beautiful accompaniment to desktop gardens and <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/designer-vases/">vases</a> of fall flowers.</p>
<p><strong>Like a Colorful Daisy</strong></p>
<p>Asters resemble a daisy with their bright yellow center and fluttering petals, but they take the classic daisy design and bloom in lush colors. Some asters have so many petals that the centers are obscured, and gardeners have endless varieties of asters to choose for planting.</p>
<p>The genus Aster once contained several hundred species around the world, but modern science was able to inspect the flowers at the molecular level and narrow the genus down to around 180 different species. Common species you might see in North America have colorful names like Siberian asters, lava asters, and the calico aster, which is often called the 'Lady in Black.'</p>
<p>Asters are the official birth flower for September. As you look for an arrangement for a friend with a September <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday/">birthday</a>, you'll notice that asters are a perfect flower for large arrangements, particularly those with lots of greenery. In a gorgeous&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/west-hollywood-cheery-display/">arrangement of orchids, tulips, roses, asters, and stock</a>, each bloom makes a distinct impression.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/west-hollywood-cheery-display/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-465" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_FW110708082814241.gif" alt="aster" width="450" height="500" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<p><strong>How Do I Decorate With Asters?</strong></p>
<p>Asters are a beautiful addition to virtually any vase and pair wonderfully with gerbera daisies, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/lilies/">lilies</a>, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a>, and lush ferns or greenery. Asters are a perfect flower to consider for a <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2080">large spray arrangement</a> with long stems of carnations, gladioli, iris, and gerbera <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/daisies/">daisies</a>.</p>
<p>Asters also look beautiful as part of a little dense cube of cheerful flowers, particularly when those flowers are in bright fall shades like orange and yellow. You might not immediately associate pink asters with the fall, but they're a stunning addition to a bright arrangement that's supposed to make you think of autumn <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/trees/">trees</a> full of colorful, changing leaves.</p>
<p>Asters are also an appropriate addition to <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2809">memorial flowers</a> in colors like white, ivory, and lavender. Asters are a wonderful way to remember and honor a loved one either at the service or a gathering of family and friends for remembrance.</p>
<p>As you search through the beautiful arrangements of flowers at <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>, consider asters as a beautiful and vibrant addition to your fall arrangement. They're a wonderful way to celebrate the color of the approaching autumn, even if you live in a community that stays green all year.</p>

<p><strong>Immediate Family: </strong>The closest family members (spouse, children, or siblings) are typically responsible for choosing the casket spray, urn arrangements or funeral flowers for the service. Flowers and arrangements from immediate family members are usually placed closest to the casket.</p>
<p><strong>For the Service:&nbsp;</strong>Traditional sympathy flowers from extended family, friends, and colleagues represent a wide variety of options. Standing sprays, crosses or wreaths that are displayed on an easel are customary, but smaller arrangements (such as <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/designer-vases/">vases</a> or baskets) are an appropriate choice as well. These can also be taken home with the family after the service.</p>
<p><strong>For the Home:&nbsp;</strong>Basket arrangements, sympathy flowers in vases or <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/potted-plants/">potted plants</a> are appropriate to send to the private residence.</p>
<p><strong>Traditional Sympathy Flowers:</strong> Gladioli are known as the official 'Flower of remembrance', but <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a>,&nbsp;carnations or lilies are also popular funeral flowers. Although there are flowers that are more frequently used, any of the decedent;s favorite blooms will be appropriate.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2079"><br /></a></p>

Because they are so important in maintaining a sufficient and healthy food supply, anything that we can each do to help them to thrive is a great idea. And don't worry, honeybees pose little threat of stinging when they are collecting nectar; they are generally only aggressive when protecting the hive, or cornered.&nbsp;<span id="more-1018"></span>Bees and butterflies are attracted to many of the same plants, and you can create a single garden with plenty of flowers to attract them both! Although some people create gardens&nbsp;which are complex, you can also design a very simple oasis. You'll need bright, nectar filled flowers, such as sunflowers, asters and goldenrod. For even more success, plant clover, butterfly bushes, geraniums, milkweed, zinnias and hyacinth. Bee also love snapdragons, which can add a lot of interest and color to a garden.</p>

<p>Some of our favorite flowers can also be utilized as natural plant repellents, and placing them around a backyard deck may help you to have a bug-free evening. Chrysanthemums are a powerhouse when it comes to warding off pests, including&nbsp;roaches, ants, Japanese beetles, ticks, silverfish, lice, fleas, bedbugs, and spider mites! Marigolds will keep aphids and mosquitoes at bay, and the delicately beautiful allium flower will defend against pests that attack&nbsp;vegetable gardens. Sometimes called 'nature's pesticide', petunias also keep watch over vegetable gardens ' you can plant them, or keep them in hanging pots surrounding the area.</p>
<p>When imagining&nbsp;an outdoor space for summer entertaining, don't forget the flowers! Not only are they lovely, but they can make your own little world a better place. Trust the floral experts at <a href="http://frenchflorist.com">French Florist</a> to help you choose just the right varieties for bee and butterfly gardens everyone will love.</p>

HOW TO DECORATE FOR OUTDOOR PARTIES

<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-429" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/social-outdoor1-2.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/social-outdoor1-2.jpg 590w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/social-outdoor1-2-300x182.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/social-outdoor1-2-496x300.jpg 496w" alt="outdoor plants" width="590" height="357" loading="lazy" /></a>Los Angeles residents have the good fortune of living in a place where the climate is fantastic all year. It makes sense that every outdoor space would become an extension of indoor living space, and that outdoor entertaining was as common, if not more common than entertaining indoors. The climate is conducive to growing almost anything ' even plants that people who live in places where weather extremes are the norm ' would have to grow as houseplants. That's why our team here at <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> </strong>is so committed to making sure that we have a large selection of green and flowering plants that our customers can use to decorate their patios, decks, balconies, or outdoor living areas.</p>
<p>We've come up with a few ideas to help you use <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/potted-plants/">potted plants</a> to decorate your entertaining areas. We think that the use of plants is a refreshing change from decorating with cut flowers.</p>
<p>When you want something that's small enough to fit on a table, appropriate enough to use as a centerpiece on a dining table, and equally suited to use on a coffee or end table, why not consider a <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=345">Begonia Plant</a></strong>? Our begonia is an unusual variety that grows from a tuber. The flowers are a bit reminiscent of tiny roses. Depending on availability, we will give you a pink or red begonia. You can also choose to have the begonia planted in a terra cotta pot. The earthy color of the clay will fit in perfectly with any outdoor d'cor. Best of all, you can also enjoy this plant inside.</p>
<div id="attachment_428" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 273px;"><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=320"><img class="size-full wp-image-428" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/06/zoom_TF13101EH165301.jpg" alt="outdoor plants" width="263" height="300" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-428" /></a>
<p id="caption-attachment-428" class="wp-caption-text">Kalanchoe Plant</p>
</div>
<p>If you prefer to have a plant that thrives on neglect, consider <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=320">A Kalanchoe Plant.</a> </strong>Kalanchoe plants do well in full sun. If you're concerned about drought and using water unnecessarily, this plant is sure to win you over. It has thick leaves that are designed to hold water, acting like a reservoir that supplies the plant with water when it needs it. Small clusters of colorful flowers provide a lot of interest and contrast against the thick, shiny, dark green leaves. You can also grow this plant indoors.</p>
<p>If you are a lover of tropical plants, and enjoy plants that have interesting and unusual foliage, then consider a <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=66">Croton Plant</a></strong>. Croton plants thrive in sunny locations and warm weather. They are characterized by interesting foliage, all of which is variegated. Leaves can range from very pale cream color with green or red veins, to dark, shiny green with yellow or red and veins in contrasting colors.</p>
