🌺 A Scent Down Memory Lane 🌺

Scents have the enchanting power to transport us back in time, to a moment, a place, a feeling. Flowers, with their myriad of fragrances, are often the key that unlocks these cherished memories.

I'm curious, which flower's scent holds a special place in your heart? Does the sweet perfume of lavender take you wandering back to your grandmother's garden, where time seemed to stand still? Or perhaps the exotic aroma of jasmine whisks you away to that sun-soaked vacation, where every breeze was a new adventure.

Whatever your story, I’d love to hear it. Share with me in the comments which flower brings a memory to life for you.

Fresh flowers bring such joy, but what doesn’t bring joy? That not-so-pleasant smell from the water in the vase after a few days. So, how can you keep your blooms smelling as sweet as the day you got them? Let's dive into some fresh, clear tips!

1. Start with a Sparkling Vase: Always clean your vase thoroughly before use. Bacteria from previous bouquets can linger and affect your fresh flowers.

2. Trim Those Stems: Snip the ends of your stems every couple of days. A fresh cut allows flowers to drink more water, keeping them happier and the water cleaner.

3. Remove Fallen Debris: Any leaves or petals that fall into the water can decompose and cause a stink. Keep an eye out and pluck them out!

4. Change the Water Regularly: Fresh water every 2-3 days or whenever it starts looking cloudy is a must for freshness.

5. Charcoal Trick: Did you know? A small piece of charcoal at the bottom of the vase absorbs odours and keeps water clear!

Remember, the care you give to your beautiful blossoms is reflected in their longevity and fragrance. Don’t forget to save this post for later.

Navigating the world of floristry, you may find yourself pondering, "Why can flowers come with a premium price tag?" Well, let's talk petals and pennies!

Firstly, flowers are often grown under precise conditions, requiring significant care to flourish. When blooms are sourced out of season or from faraway places, it's like importing a piece of spring from across the world right to your doorstep – and that can add to the cost.

That's why flowers grown locally and in season are not only fresher but easier on the wallet. Embracing the blooms that nature offers in the here and now means we get to enjoy a sustainable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective floral experience.

Then, there's the artistry and labour. From nurturing each plant to hand-selecting and cutting the stems, and from designing the arrangement to the delivery – florists pour their expertise, time, and creativity into every step. Like any artisan craft, the beauty you receive is a culmination of time, talent, and passion.

So next time you hold a bouquet, remember it's not just flowers you're holding, but a whole garden of effort, art, and the magic of nature’s timing. And if you're looking for the best value, ask your florist for in-season picks that support local growers!

Eager to learn more or need guidance finding the perfect arrangement within your budget? Reach out, and let's create something beautiful together!

With love and petals,
Tina 🌸

Feast your eyes on this cup of truth – defining 'Florist' in the most artistic way. Crafting floral symphonies and painting with petals? Now, that's a job description that could make anyone want to trade in their spreadsheets for shears!

So, what do you think – should I make this ‘florist’s definition’ mug the newest member of my mug family? Let me know in the comments!

Let this be your gentle reminder that you are on your own unique journey. Nurture yourself with kindness, surround yourself with positivity, and give yourself the time you need to come into full bloom.

Did You Know? The Flower That Never Wilts

Did you know there's a flower that never wilts? Meet the extraordinary Xerophyta retinervis, commonly known as the "resurrection flower." Native to Southern Africa, this unique bloom has adapted to survive extreme dehydration for months or even years. When it finally rains, the seemingly dead, dried-out plant miraculously "comes back to life," turning green and blooming spectacularly in response to the moisture.

This remarkable survival strategy is not just a wonder of nature but also a symbol of resilience and renewal. The resurrection flower reminds us that even after the driest spells, rejuvenation is possible. It's a true testament to the enduring spirit of life!

Ever wondered why some people sprinkle a bit of sugar into their flower water? It's not just an old wives' tale; there's real science behind this sweet trick!

When you cut flowers from their roots, you separate them from their main source of nutrients. Adding a little sugar to the water mimics these natural sugars, providing the blooms with the energy they need to stay fresh longer. Essentially, sugar acts as a food source for cut flowers, helping them maintain their beauty and vitality.

This simple addition can extend the life of your bouquet, making your floral displays look gorgeous for longer! So next time you receive or prepare a bouquet, remember this little sugar tip and see the difference for yourself.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s the simple things that remind us of the beauty and hope surrounding us. Flowers, with their resilience and delicate strength, are nature’s gentle nod towards hope and renewal.

As each bloom unfurls its petals to the sun, let it remind us that, no matter the hardships, there is always a fresh start, always a reason to hope. Whether it’s a small bud in your garden or a lavish bouquet on your table, flowers have this incredible power to uplift spirits and inspire hearts.

Today, I encourage you to share this message of hope and beauty. Perhaps forward this to someone in your life who could use a reminder that brighter days are always just around the corner.

Hello, lovely friends and flower enthusiasts! I'm excited to share a little story about what's in a name—specifically, our name, Teka Flowers.

Through the roller coaster of life's ups and downs—and yes, there have been plenty!—three incredible souls have been my pillars of strength and joy: my beautiful, selfless mum and my two wonderful sons, who have grown into amazing young men. They are not just my family; they inspire me every day to spread the happiness they bring into my life to everyone around me.

So, when it came time to name my dream, I wanted something that encapsulated the love, support, and inspiration I draw from them every day. That’s how "Teka Flowers" was born. It's a blend of our initials, a tribute to the people who mean the world to me and a reminder of the love we share that I extend to each arrangement I create.

Each bouquet from Teka Flowers carries a piece of my heart, a fragment of our story, and a splash of the joy we live in every day. When you choose Teka Flowers, you’re not just getting a floral arrangement; you’re getting a piece of a family’s love story.

Thank you for letting us be a part of your special moments, your celebrations, and even your trials. We are honoured to bring a bit of our joy and love into your lives through the universal language of flowers.

Feel free to reach out if you’re looking to add a little beauty to your day or need help picking out the perfect arrangement. Just as my family has been here for me, I’m here for you.

With love and blooms,
Tina 🌸
