In The Box
In the box you’ll find Amaryllis, Alstroemeria, and Eucalyptus Parvifolia
In The Vase
Our flowers will be laid out head to tail, carefully remove your stems from the tissue paper and trim ¼ of an inch of the bottom of each stem as you begin arranging them in your vase. Remember to add one pack of flower food to your water!
In Bloom
We can’t wait for you to see this week’s bouquet, we have two brand new stems to introduce! We recommend starting with your amaryllis in an even triangle. Leave them tall and give them LOTS of room to open up. Next add in the eucalyptus parvifolia, letting it’s tendrils playfully fall over the edge of the vase. Lastly, pop in your alstroemeria leaving them room to open up as well.
Bouquet Stems
Amaryllis
Brand new to Bear’s Blooms and we are in LOVE. It makes for the most stunning cut flower. They’ll need lots of space to open up so be sure you don’t overcrowd them in your vase. Give them a good 4-5 days to open up, and make sure to monitor your water levels as these guys drink lots as they bloom.
Alstroemeria
One of our staple blooms for a reason. We love this hardly, long lasting flower. They will also arrive in bud so give them space and time to open up.
Eucalyptus Parvifolia
Another new addition! This fragrant, whimsical eucalyptus is quickly becoming a favourite.

Tips and Tricks
When your flowers arrive they may look a little tired, but fear not, they will perk right up once they have some water!
Cut all of your stems at a 45 degree angle and trim off the leaves below the water line.
Be sure to add your flower food, it makes a world of difference!
After 3-4 days, recut your stems, change the water and add the second pack of flower food.
Some of your flowers may last longer than others, freshen up the arrangement by pruning the spent stems.
