Today on At Home with Flowers, I’m sharing one of my favorite tips for Bird of Paradise Flowers…the opening process. My Grandpa Carnation Joe taught this trick to me… and it works like a charm! I hope you enjoy it…I’ll arrange the Open Birds of Paradise into 2 Gold Vases from Accent Décor and accent them with Lily Grass and Variegated Chinese Evergreen Foliage from our friends at FernTrust. These bud vases are shown with our featured flower, Bird of Paradise- in Episode #409 of J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom- “Birds of a Feather”… you can watch it here! Enjoy!
