The results are astounding, to say the least. Plus, many of these structures are certified 'green' and are examples of how future architecture can reduce the use of resources while still looking amazing. Here at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Florist</a> we've put together a list of some of most striking buildings from across the globe that are designed to look like a flower.</p>

<h2><a href="https://archello.com/project/the-artscience-museum-at-marina-bay-sands"><strong>ArtScience Museum</strong></a></h2>
<p>Singapore</p>
<p>Like a Lotus Blossom spinning on the surface of the water, the ArtScience museum in Singapore floats above the ground with radiating petals of differing heights bringing a little bit of nature into the urban landscape. A stunning structure with walls that curve upward seamlessly, this building also has many sustainable and energy-efficient features. The tops of the petals have rectangular skylights to allow natural sunlight to illuminate the galleries. The center of the roof has an oculus where rain pours down forming a waterfall that falls through the center of the building to the bottom level emptying into a reflection pool. The water is recycled to create a continuous waterfall loop as well as furnish water to the restrooms and exterior landscape.</p>

<h2><strong><a href="http://www.bahaihouseofworship.in/jewel-in-the-lotus">The Lotus Temple</a></strong><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">&nbsp;(Baha'i House of Worship)</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Delhi, India</span></p>
<p>Also shaped like a Lotus Blossom flower, the Lotus Temple in Delhi showcases the symmetry of this beautiful flower while also paying homage to nature and the Creator. Perfectly balanced from all angles, there are three levels of lotus blossom petals that encircle the interior dome. The lower level of petals turn outwards to create a canopied rooftop over each of the nine entrances. In front of each entrance are decorative reflection pools in the shape of lotus blossom leaves. The reflection pools not only provide cool air to the interior of the building also present the illusion that the flower is floating on water. Inside, there's no decoration besides the play of light and reflection from the water. Open to all faiths and all religions, the Lotus Temple is one of the most visited sites in the world</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.inew.cn/index.php?c=article&amp;a=type&amp;tid=47" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Wuhan Energy Flower Building</strong></a></h2>
<p>Wuhan, China</p>
<p>Rising up from the landscape and facing the sun like a bold, proud flower, the Wuhan Energy building is an incredible example of sustainable architecture and a display of new energy sources. The design, inspired by the beautiful calla lily, has a circular roof covered with solar panels to soak up the sun's energy. Sitting atop the tower at an angle, the roof is able to provide shade to the tower underneath during China's hottest summer days. The rooftop is also shaped like a chalice to catch rainwater for recycling it throughout the building, Inside the giant pistil are wind turbines which produce another alternative energy source to power the building. Impressively, this building emits zero carbon emissions and is one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable structures in the world.</p>

THESE GREEN BUILDINGS ARE INSPIRED BY FLOWERS

<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> is always looking to add to our bag of floral design tricks, which is why <a href="http://www.ifd-inc.org/">International Floral Distributors</a> trend report for 2018 is something we're excited to cover. It's both design inspo and a peek into what everyone will be talking about when it comes to flowers next year.</p>
<p>Of the four trends identified, we're loving 'Incarnation of Earth's Elements,' which may be a cumbersome mouthful, but we assure you, the look itself is anything but.</p>
<p><span id="more-1126"></span></p>
<p>We're calling it 'modern nature' instead, and believe that captures its essential spirit. Think organic minimalism, a way of showcasing nature in our homes in an unfussy and yet artful way. Pieces that look like living sculptures, columns of flowers like a color wheel . . . this is what the style is about. You can see it reflected in our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday-flowers/los-angeles-florist/elegant-explosion-colorful/">An Elegant Explosion of Colorful Blooms</a>.<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday-flowers/los-angeles-florist/elegant-explosion-colorful/"><img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/FWED1-alt2-17022440458.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" alt="An Elegant Explosion of Colorful Blooms - French Florist"></a></p>
<p>River rock makes up an earthy base for a scape of bright flowers (another huge trend for next year), which present themselves in a linear way. Another aspect of this look is that geometry is well represented, whether that's in an arrangement's shape, the vessel it resides in or in the additional decor presented alongside it. The effect feels intentional, and yet restrained. The focus is on the flowers and other organic elements, emphasizing their striking beauty. We'll be working this look all year long and beyond.</p>

<p>We lead such crazy busy lives that it's easy to forget to do little things to take care of ourselves. With family and work in the forefront of everything we do, self-care is never a consideration in anything we do. At <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist,</a> we believe in the importance of self-care, and we encourage our Los Angeles area customers to think about giving themselves the gift of flowers.</p>
<p><span id="more-1160"></span></p>
<p>If manicures and pedicures have always been the treat you give yourself when you're in the mood for pampering; maybe it's time to try something new. Doesn't the novelty of the special feeling you get while enjoying a manicure or pedicure die out when it's something you do out of habit or a sense of ritual? Next time you're thinking about pampering yourself or rewarding yourself for anything or nothing at all, consider giving yourself the gift of flowers.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2591">A Cloud of Pink Blooms</a>&nbsp;is a delightful arrangement that consists of a variety of pink flowers in various shades that range from light to hot pink.<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2591"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.frenchflorist.com/images/item/zoom_FW110808082383259.gif"></a></p>
<p>We encourage you to think about pampering yourself from time to time. Life's chaos often forces us to consider other people and other things before ourselves. We don't stop to think about the fact that we're not doing our best for the people who rely on us when we're tired and burned out. You can always count on <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>&nbsp;to help you choose the freshest seasonal flowers and to turn a bunch of single stems into a show-stopping display that will brighten your spirits and warm your heart.</p>

March 8<sup>th</sup> represents a day perhaps not as well known as most, but of great importance to the global family.</p>

<p>Over 100 years ago, a group of women gathered to protest the inequality and oppression they faced living in a Soviet bloc nation; within years the movement had spread to neighboring countries and into Europe. In 1909 the first rally occurred on U.S. Shores, in New York City; but it wasn't until the United Nations adopted the initiative in 1977 that the movement gained wide acceptance. Today, 30 nations including the United States have officially named March 8<sup>th</sup> as International Women's Day; in 2011, President Obama designated the entire month of March as Women's History Month.</p>

<p>Over the last century there have been countless women who have made history across the world for their brave journey into traditionally male oriented positions. Margaret Thatcher in politics, Sally Ride at NASA, and Amelia Earhart in aviation are just a few of thousands of examples. From Harriet Tubman to Elizabeth Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Coretta Scott King, women have been in the forefront of many civil rights battles. Today the cause is global, as social media unites our world in ways never before possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although the women in your life may not be famous yet, they no doubt have impact on many people in your communities. From teachers and mentors to public servants, women continue to influence the world in ways large and small. On March 8<sup>th</sup>, celebrate International Women's Day by thanking them for all they do. <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com">French Florist</a>&nbsp;has unique floral designs, bouquets and arrangements for every occasion, but perhaps none more important than honoring the people making a positive impact every day.</p>

THE SECRET TO LONG-LASTING BLOOMS

But more than anything, it means your flowers can become a major focal point in your overall wedding theme, and the design that your florist and wedding planners create for the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchfloristweddingflowers.com/gallery.cfm">whole event</a>.</p>
<p><b>What is Your Color Scheme?</b></p>
<p>One thing about planning a winter wedding in California is that no color is going to look as out of place as a palette like pastels might look in a place where the ground is covered with a heavy blanket of snow, and the skies are consistently cloudy.</p>
<p><b>The Bridal Bouquet<img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-289 size-medium" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-275x300.png" alt="thumbnail" width="275" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-275x300.png 275w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail.png 501w" sizes="(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px"></b></p>
<p>The fact that you're in California shouldn't stop you from creating a wedding based on winter whites. A gorgeous bouquet, and one that's well-suited to a winter wedding is&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchfloristweddingflowers.com/gallery.cfm?catID=1&amp;galID=86">this bouquet of all white flowers</a>, combined with white feathers, silvery leaves, and tiny splashes of silver bling and silver bows throughout the arrangement.</p>
<p>Whether you're planning a winter wedding in December, or in February, you can't go wrong with a<a href="http://www.frenchfloristweddingflowers.com/gallery.cfm?catID=1&amp;galID=86">&nbsp;bouquet of different shades of red roses</a>&nbsp;with accents of greenery, crystals, and stems that are wrapped in red ribbon.</p>
<p><b>F<img loading="lazy" class="alignleft wp-image-290 size-medium" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-1-273x300.png" alt="thumbnail-1" width="273" height="300" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-1-273x300.png 273w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2014/11/thumbnail-1.png 496w" sizes="(max-width: 273px) 100vw, 273px">lowers for the Ceremony</b></p>
<p>Choosing flowers for the ceremony may sound very simple, but figuring out what's appropriate isn't just a matter of picking flower varieties or flower colors. The type of flowers and how they're arranged for the ceremony will depend as much on where the ceremony is being held as it does to the style of the ceremony.</p>
<p>If you're having a black tie affair, you won't want to have casual flower arrangements. But&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchfloristweddingflowers.com/gallery.cfm?catID=9&amp;galID=60">European Garden Arrangements&nbsp;</a>are just formal enough to be elegant and sophisticated.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you're having an outdoor wedding and want something a bit more&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchfloristweddingflowers.com/gallery.cfm?catID=9&amp;galID=60">unusual for your ceremony flowers</a>, consider&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchfloristweddingflowers.com/gallery.cfm?catID=9&amp;galID=58">hanging glass bowls filled with flowers from shepherd's hooks.</a></p>
<p><b>Unusual Ideas for Reception Flowers</b></p>
<p>A phenomenally appropriate, but unusual reception centerpiece idea is this breathtaking white wedding tree. It combines greenery, white flowers, branches, moss, with crystals and other bling to create the illusion of glistening snow. Instead of using the same floral arrangements that you use on the guest tables on the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchfloristweddingflowers.com/gallery.cfm?catID=14">head or sweetheart tables</a>, you may want to consider something that drapes over the edge so the flowers don't obscure the view of the wedding party.</p>
<p>If you are having cocktails outside by the pool, a white floral float brings puts an unusual spin on the glam factor ' in a refreshingly whimsical way.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchfloristweddingflowers.com/gallery.cfm?catID=12">Fresh flowers add sophistication to a cake</a>, and if you are going with a traditional white cake, the addition of fresh flowers can add color without ruining the elegance of a white wedding cake.</p>

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p>Last week,&nbsp;<a href="http://mentalfloss.com/">mental_floss magazine</a>&nbsp;interviewed our very own Store Manager, Angela, for some great tips on how to keep your fresh cut flowers lasting longer. Did you know that you should check the water levels daily? Or how much of an impact floral food has on the longevity of your flowers? The article is full of helpful tips that will keep your cut flowers looking their best.</p>
<p>Here is the full article written by Suzanne Raga:</p>

<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">8 Tips to Make Cut Flowers Last Longer</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A vase of fresh flowers in our home or office can instantly add some cheer. Unfortunately, most fresh cut flowers don't last very long, and it can be a big bummer when your flowers start wilting and drooping after only a few days. Different types of flowers require different care, but here are eight general tips from florists to help extend the&nbsp;life of your cut flowers.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">1. ADD WATER AND CHECK THE WATER LEVEL DAILY.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">According to Brad Weinstein at <a href="http://www.petalsandstems.com/"><span class="s2">Petals and Stems</span></a> in Dallas, Texas, adding water to the vase is the best way to help flower arrangements stay fresh and last longer. 'remember that the more flowers in the arrangement, the need for water will increase,' says Weinstein. Since some types of cut flowers drink more water than others, make sure to check the water level daily, adding more as necessary.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">2. TAP WATER IS FINE, BUT FILTERED WATER CAN BE BETTER.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">According to Angela Floyd, the manager of <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/"><span class="s2">French Florist</span></a> in Los Angeles, California, feeding tap water to most cut flowers is sufficient. 'tap water is perfectly fine to use for flower arrangements, so don't feel like you need to feed them Evian!' says Floyd.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It makes sense to use filtered water rather than tap water, though, for certain types of plants that are known to live longer. For a prized plant such as a Phalaenopsis, or moth orchid, or a blooming plant like a Peace Lily, using filtered water 'might be a worthwhile investment to help ensure your plant's flowers stay their freshest for as long as possible,' suggests Floyd.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">3. CUT (AND RECUT) THE ENDS OF THE STEMS.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In order to make your flowers soak up the most water possible, you'll need to cut the ends of the stems. Keep trimming them daily, when you change the water in the vase. 'Once a flower is out of water for a few seconds the stems dries up, so it needs to be recut to take in the water,' explains Weinstein.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">To get the best cut, use sharp scissors and cut the bottom-most inch off the stems at an angle rather than straight across. Doing so, as Floyd explains, will give more surface area to the stem's tip, which will help the flower to better access the water. And consider cutting the stems under water (rather than in the air) to avoid giving your flowers an <a href="http://www.homesteadandgardens.com/make-cut-flowers-last-longer/"><span class="s2">air embolism</span></a>, which can interfere with their ability to suck in water.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">4. USE THE PACKET OF FLOWER FOOD'</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If your bouquet of flowers came with a small packet (usually square), don't toss it in the trash! Packets of powdered flower food <a href="http://mentalfloss.com/article/75689/whats-flower-food-packets-come-bouquets-flowers"><span class="s2">can help nourish</span></a> your flowers, making them last longer. Most flower food contains sugar (nutrients), an acidifier (to maintain the water's pH level and help the stems soak up water), and bleach (to reduce bacteria in the water). Rather than dump in the whole packet at once, sprinkle it in in moderation. 'Packets of flower food that you receive with your flowers can be added a little at a time when you change the water,' says Floyd.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">5. 'OR MAKE YOUR OWN CONCOCTION.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you don't have flower food, you can easily make your own by <a href="http://www.bbg.org/gardening/article/cut-flower_care"><span class="s2">mixing water with sugar, lemon or lime juice, and household bleach</span></a>. These three ingredients will nourish your flowers, keep their stems open, and kill bacteria that could prematurely age them.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">6. STERILIZE THE VASE.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When it comes to flowers, cleanliness matters. 'A clean vase filled with fresh water is the best way to keep your flowers fresh,' explains Floyd. Before putting flowers in a vase, you can disinfect the vase with bleach and water. Simple soap and water should work, too, but use bleach if you want to be extra careful.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">7. CHOOSE WHERE TO PUT YOUR FLOWERS WISELY.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If flowers get too warm, they'll wilt a lot faster. Weinstein says that the best practice is to keep your flower arrangement in a cool environment, away from direct sunlight, heater vents, and entry doors.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Flower company FTD featured an experiment in a post on the company's blog, which showed that putting flowers <a href="https://www.ftd.com/blog/create/mythbusters-keep-flowers-fresh-longer"><span class="s2">in the refrigerator</span></a> overnight helped to keep the flowers alive for a longer time. So if you can fit your flowers in the refrigerator, the cold temperature will help preserve them.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">8. STICK WITH THE BASICS'AND IGNORE OLD WIVES' TALES.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">People have experimented with different ways to keep flowers fresh longer. Putting <a href="http://www.rd.com/home/decorating/how-to-make-flowers-last-longer/"><span class="s2">certain items</span></a> such as aspirin, pennies, vodka, soda, and mouthwash in the vase can reportedly help flowers last longer. Although some of these ideas have a basis in chemistry, most experiments <a href="http://www.gardenista.com/posts/tried-and-tested-can-you-make-fresh-flowers-last-longer"><span class="s2">show</span></a> (and florists agree) that following steps 1-7 will give your flowers the best chance to stay alive for a long time.</span></p>
