It is indeed poignant when we cross paths with someone only for a few weeks or months, yet the relationship results in a lifelong impact. This May, two special observances give us the opportunity to recognize and celebrate teachers and nurses. Both of these professionals are known for their selfless attitude and dedicated passion for helping others. French Florist has the floral designs that will return the favor and let them know how&nbsp;remarkable they really are!</p>
<p><strong>Mark Your Calendar Important Dates to Appreciate Nurses and Thank Teachers:</strong><br />National Nurses Week runs from May 6-12, with National Nurses Day being celebrated on May 6.<br />National Teachers Week is May 7-13, with National Teachers Day officially recognized on May 9.<span id="more-969"></span></p>

Teachers inspire students to reach for and realize their true potential, nurses provide comfort and hope while administering expert medical care. Teachers are with us during the normal days of our lives, while a nurse may represent an unexpected event. But they share many similar characteristics as well for instance, they each have the ability to influence people for the better, to make a compassionate impact, and to touch our hearts with their&nbsp;dedication and <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/friendship/">friendship</a>. Is there a nurse or teacher you have been meaning to thank? This is the perfect opportunity.</p>
<p><strong><br />Be Social About It:</strong>&nbsp;Share positive photos and stories of your favorite teachers on May 9 and don't forget to add the hashtag #ThankATeacher.</p>
<p>Teachers and nurses go about their days quietly executing heroic acts destined to make a lifetime impact on other people this month, do something to make a meaningful impact on these unsung Los Angeles heroes.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> is honored to be your partner in giving them the credit they deserve.</p>

<p>Due to their beauty, mood-boosting, and air-purifying qualities, houseplants have become very popular. If you're new to having them, though, then it's important to make sure you place your plant in an area where it can get plenty of light. Remember, though, what seems like a well-lit room to you may still not have adequate amounts of light reach your plant to ensure it grows like it should. If your plant is exhibiting any of the below marks of insufficient lighting, then read on for more helpful hints and tips to ensure your plants flourish and thrive so you can enjoy their benefits. When you're finished, peruse <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-size: 1rem;">French Florist's</span></a><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> plant catalog for more beautiful plants to bring into your home.</span></p>
<h2><strong>Evidence of Insufficient Light on Your Plants</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Leggy</strong></h3>
<p>Long, slender stems are known as 'leggy' and are a sure sign your plant requires more light. In a plant's quest for survival, they will stretch and reach to capture as much light as possible. Leggy stems also have wide spaces between adjacent leaves. This space is called the internodal space and is much smaller in healthy plants. Large internodal spaces are symptoms of a light-starved plant.</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_1399026737.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-6766" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_1399026737.jpg" alt="Leggy Plant" width="450" height="300" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Small Leaves</strong></h3>
<p>Scarcity of light means a plant isn't getting enough energy to grow its leaves to the proper size. To conserve the small amount of energy it is getting, a plant will produce smaller leaves. Match new growth to older growth to ascertain if there is a stark contrast in size.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Leaning</strong></h3>
<p>A lopsided or leaning plant signals the entire plant is not getting satisfactory sunlight. Plants will grow and stretch to absorb as much light as possible and this could lead to a one-sided plant. Make sure your plant is in a well-lit area and give it turn every time you water it so all the leaves get equal amounts of light.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1745" src="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-1200x900.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-300x225.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-768x576.jpg 768w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant-400x300.jpg 400w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2020/07/Leaning-Plant.jpg 1702w" alt="Leaning Plant" width="584" height="438" loading="lazy" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Abnormal Leaf Color</strong></h3>
<p>Light green or yellow leaves that start to drop off are signs of poor lighting. Without decent lighting, chlorophyll, which gives a leaf its green color, cannot carry out the photosynthesis process which keeps leaves green and healthy. Also, if your plant has variegated coloring, in an effort to absorb as much light as possible, the colored leaves will revert to all green.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Slowed Growth</strong></h3>
<p>During the spring and summer plants should exhibit a significant amount of growth. If yours does not, then it could indicate weak lighting. No new growth of stunted growth are warnings a plant is not receiving sufficient energy from light to become lush and big.</p>
<h2><strong>Getting the Light Right</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_301462706.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-6762" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/shutterstock_301462706.jpg" alt="Healthy Plants" width="450" height="300" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<p>As it is possible for a plant to receive too much light also, resulting in scorched tips or 'burnt' patches on the leaves, getting the lighting right for a plant may be tricky. Only sun-worshipping plants should be in direct lighting for 6 or more hours a day. These would be cacti, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/succulents/">succulents</a>, and palm plants. Otherwise, indirect bright light works best for most other plants. Just realize that every foot away from a window that a plant is moved to is exponentially decreased light for the plant. You may not see it, but the plant will.</p>
<p>Try out different sunny places in your home and if you're unable to move your plant to a better lit spot, then get a grow light, which will allow you to place your plant anywhere. Grow lights will ensure your plant gets enough light to remain healthy and happy.</p>

HOW TO KNOW YOUR PLANT IS GETTING PLENTY OF SUNLIGHT

Succulents

<div class="entry-content bla">
<h3 style="color: #333333;"><strong>Buying Succulents, a Great Decision</strong></h3>
<p style="color: #333333;">There are a wide variety of <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/succulents/">succulents</a> a person can choose from, but almost all of them have greater practical use than the majority of other house plants people choose to use for ambiance. Many succulents have leaves that create oils and flesh that have medicinal uses for people, the aloe vera plant for example. The Agave plant is used to make liquor and asparagus is a delicious vegetable with very unique flavor.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">While not all succulents are popular as house plants or lawn and garden decor, those that are are generally hardy and can survive without a great deal of care. However, there are a few things to keep in mind once your succulents arrive.</p>
<h3 style="color: #333333;"><strong>Succulent Faux Pas</strong></h3>
<p style="color: #333333;">Succulents are meaty plants with an appearance that more closely resemble the stems and leaves of cacti than plants that grow in pluvial regions.&nbsp;The purpose of the evolutionary design of succulents is to save water in order to survive periods of drought.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">That being the case, there are a two things one must remember about &nbsp;succulents:</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>Too Much Water, Not Enough Sun</strong>&nbsp;' One of the easiest ways to kill a succulent is to give it too much of the wrong thing. For most house, lawn and garden plants, too much sun and not enough water can spell disaster.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Succulents are different in this regard. Too much water can cause the leaves to bloat and eventually bend and break. Not enough sun can cause the plant to suffer from bacterial attack among other diseases.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">A good rule of thumb is to treat your succulents the opposite of how you treat a house plant. Be modest with the water and excessive with the sunlight. The University of California's Sonoma County Master Gardeners calls succulents, 'the camels of the plant world (1).'</p>
<h3 style="color: #333333;"><strong>Succulents Thrive Under Pressure, Particularly Cold</strong></h3>
<p style="color: #333333;">In addition to having the aptitude to survive without a great deal of water and under the intensity of the sun, succulents can also manage large temperature swings. While they thrive in the hot desert sun, they are also accustomed to the freezing cold spells of desert winters and dramatic daily temperature drops desert nights often bring.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">As a result, do not be afraid to allow your succulents to fight through some cold weather!</p>
<p style="color: #333333;"><strong>Treat 'em Like a Cowboy</strong></p>
<p style="color: #333333;">If you think of your succulents as rough and tumble men, give them their space and the bare essentials, your succulents with thrive. Try to over care for them, and succulents generally don't do as well!</p>

WHAT TO SAY ON FATHER's DAY CARDS WHEN SENDING FLOWERS

Roses

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p style="color: #333333;">When it comes to choosing a summer flower to fill up your table <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/designer-vases/">vases</a>, to give as a gift to a loved one, or to adorn a reception hall for a wedding, no other flower dominates the scene except the rose. Roses have been a symbol of love and beauty for generations as this flower has been around for over 35 million years. So it isn't any wonder why people choose to have such a wonderful and fragrant flower in their homes during the summer.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">As you pick out a rose product from&nbsp;<a style="color: #0782c1;" href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>, whether it is a dozen red <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> for someone special or a few long stem yellow roses to brighten the house, make sure to take care of them immediately. The sooner you care for the cut roses, the longer they will last. Here at French Florist, we love to offer people the latest tips for caring for cut flowers. Don't simply assume that the way you treat your roses will be the same as you treat your lilies, marigolds, or other flowers. Each cut flower is different as each one needs special care tailored to their particular species.</p>
<h2 style="font-weight: normal; color: #333333;">Caring For Cut Roses</h2>
<p style="color: #333333;">After you purchase the cut flowers from French Florist, you need to get them in water immediately, even if the flower will be a gift for someone later. Roses in particular need to keep hydrated to last for a week or more. The moment you get the flowers in the house, put them in a container of water as you can then get ready to prepare them for your vase.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Prepare your vase by washing it out and filling it with lukewarm water. The water temperature should be around 100 degrees ' about the same temperature if you are soaking in a nice relaxing bath. Place the plant food that we provide with your cut roses into the water by following the package directions.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Next, cut rose stems using a non-serrated knife. You want to cut the roses with the stems under lukewarm water. Go up about an inch and trim off the bottom at an angle. Then remove any leaves and thorns that will be under the vase water to prevent bacteria from forming.</p>
<p style="color: #333333;">Now you can place the roses into the vase. To prolong the life of the roses, you want to place them in fresh water every day and cut the stems every other day. Remember to clean out the vase and add new flower food as you'll be amazed at just how long the roses will last.</p>

THE SEASON OF THE ROSE ' THE POPULAR SUMMER FLOWER

<div class="entry-content bla">

Throughout the year, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> are used to say 'I love you' or 'I'm sorry,' but this month, roses represent celebration! Depending on your relationship with the recipient, an appropriate color of rose can convey a personalized message. Assigning meaning to flowers was an idea that originated in the Middle East thousands of years ago when women used flowers to communicate when they were otherwise not allowed to speak. The tradition of exchanging flowers as a means of communication came to Europe during the Victorian Era and was often used in high society. Today, roses still carry the air of a special occasion; they still generally mark occasions that are important to us.</p>

<p>Fittingly, <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=3118">Red Rose Day</a> is also celebrated in June, and this year is observed on June 12th. Although this day is not an official holiday, the recognition of the red rose is a treasured one for botanists and gardeners across the country. Roses are undeniably cherished, and the red rose is the reigning queen of the species ' not only because of its significance in love and romance but for the singular and rare beauty that a red rose exhibits.</p>

To celebrate these <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday/">birthdays</a>, carnations are a fantastic gift. This is the official birth flower for the month, and these lovely blooms have an extensive history and a rich symbolism that stretches back to ancient times. Carnations have been cultivated and enjoyed for over 2,000 years.</p>
<p>Throughout this time, these gorgeous blooms have been carefully grown to produce a variety of colors, including pinks, reds, yellows and more. These different colors have all become associated with different emotions and life events. Pink carnations, for example, are strongly associated with the undying love of a mother. Red carnations are used to represent affection, admiration and love. White carnations are also used for love, but they can also be used to say, good luck. These flowers can be used throughout the month of January to celebrate birthdays, as well as on Mother's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Teacher's Day.</p>
<p>Those interested in giving carnations to those celebrating their birthdays this month should consider some of the many arrangements that we have to offer at French Florist. Here are three of our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/favorites/">favorites</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=1900">Rose and Lily Splendor</a></p>
<p>This arrangement combines dainty <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> with the rich colors of lilies and carnations to create a gorgeous bouquet that will look fantastic on a coffee table or an end table. They will help to make the entire room feel festive and ready for the birthday celebration.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2018">Birthday Balloon Basket</a></p>
<p>This might be the perfect gift for saying Happy Birthday to a January birthday. The bouquet itself includes alstroemeria, carnations, chrysanthemums and roses, creating a variety of textures and colors that make the room look spectacular. The balloons and the lively basket used for the flowers make the gift that much more celebratory and will surely put a smile on the face of any recipient.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2022">Garden Comforts</a></p>
<p>This basket arrangement is a wonderful way to light up the room. January might not be commonly associated with spring, but with this bouquet it will feel just like it.

THE BEST FLOWERS FOR A PICNIC OR PLAYDATE

<p>September <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday/">birthdays</a> are an excellent time to celebrate someone's life- who they are, what theyve accomplished, what they mean to you. One special way to honor your September honoree is with gifts inspired by the sapphire, September's birthstone, or asters, September's birth flower. You can trust the team at French Florist to create beautiful birthday bouquets!&nbsp;<span id="more-1051"></span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Sapphires are typically most valuable in shades of brilliant blue. They have long been considered to bring wisdom, protection and even a bit of good luck. They have often been associated with royalty and the social elite ancient kings wore them around their necks to protect themselves from harm, while priests have worn them to receive divine wisdom. The great explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton carried a sapphire with him for good fortune while traveling, and even Prince Charles gave Lady Diana Spencer a sapphire engagement ring. If you would like to create a bouquet inspired by the sapphire, you can look to delphinium, hydrangea, and larkspur, all of which grow in shades of blue.</span></p>

<p>Likewise, September asters also have much history and lore connected to them. Asters get their name from the Greek word for 'star, and many stories include a connection between asters and stars. For example, one legend proposes that Virgo cast stardust all throughout the earth. Another claims that when the goddess Asterea wept, asters bloomed where her tears fell.</p>
<p>Asters bloom in the late summer and early fall, and thus make appropriate ambassadors for September birthdays.</p>

The idea for a <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/fathers-day/">Father's Day</a> observance and holiday began 107 years ago in 1908. It took 64 years from 1908 until 1972 for the observance to become an official holiday after President Richard Nixon issued a proclamation. Six years earlier, President Lyndon B. Johnson had declared that Father's Day would be observed on the third Sunday of every June, but he didn't make it an official holiday.</p>
<h2><strong>How Father's Day Became a National Holiday</strong></h2>
<p>Most historians agree that the woman who was affectionately referred to as the Mother of Father's Day, Sonora Smith Dodds, deserves the credit for coming up with the idea for a day on which to honor fathers. As she sat in a Spokane, Washington Church on Mother's Day in 1908, listening to the pastor deliver a sermon, it occurred to her that fathers deserved to be recognized for their accomplishments, too.</p>
<p>Mrs. Dodd was the only girl in a family of six children. The youngest boy was born in 1898, and his birth must have been very difficult because Mrs. Smith, who was Mrs. Dodd's mother, died in childbirth. That meant that her father, William Jackson Smith, a farmer who owned land in a remote part of Eastern Washington, had to raise the six children all alone while tending to the farm that was the family's sole means of support.</p>
<p>Sonora Smith Dodds wanted to have the Father's Day observance in June because that was the month of her father's <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday/">birthday</a>. Originally, she wanted to have it on June 5, to coincide with her father's birthday. When it became clear that a June 5 observance wouldn't be feasible, the other people who helped her plan the celebration convinced her to move the date to June 19<sup>, </sup>1908, and many historians believe that that was the nation's first official Father's Day celebration.</p>
<h2><strong>Father's Day Gift Giving and Tributes</strong></h2>
<p>Mrs. Dodd thought that one way that people could show their respect for their fathers was to wear red <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/">roses</a> for fathers that were alive, but white flowers should be worn when the father was deceased. Over the years, gift giving became a big part of Father's Day observances all across the country. Shirts, ties, tools, and gadgets have always been hot ticket items for retailers just before Father's Day.</p>
