Flowers as Healing for the Soul and a Design Element
No interior designer today would overlook the power of fresh flowers. Just like the color of the walls or the style of the furniture, a carefully chosen bouquet can instantly transform the atmosphere of a room and positively affect our mood. Florists agree that people naturally gravitate toward bright, warm tones such as red, orange, and yellow – colors that literally recharge energy. Red in particular is proven to slightly increase heart rate and stimulate the mind.
Trends Dominating Czech Vases
While women often treat themselves to seasonal flowers that reflect the current time of year, men still tend to stick to timeless classics.
“When a man wants to impress a woman, he buys a bouquet of red roses,” says Miroslav Dušek from KvětinyExpres.cz, noting a growing interest among men in buying flowers simply for the joy of it.
What are the most popular kinds? Typical representatives of spring are daffodils and tulips. Year-round favorites include gerberas, lilies, chrysanthemums, and of course roses in every shade.

The Myth of Short Life: How to Care for Flowers
Although cut flowers are more popular than ever, some critics still point out their short lifespan. The truth is, with proper care, you can extend their beauty by many days. Today, every quality florist provides flower food with each bouquet to help them last longer.
Basic rules for long-lasting bouquets:
-
Clean vase: Wash thoroughly before use to remove bacteria.
-
Fresh water & nutrients: Fill with cold water and dissolve the included flower food.
-
Trim stems: Cut 2–3 cm off each stem diagonally with a sharp knife before placing in water. Avoid scissors that can crush stems.
-
Regular maintenance: Change the water and repeat trimming every 2–3 days.
A Historical Curiosity: The Comeback of Carnations
Every era has its floral favorites. While some flowers remain classics, others go through periods of glory and decline. A great example is the carnation, whose reputation in our region was damaged by the former regime. Today, florists are bringing it back in modern, elegant arrangements that prove this flower deserves a place in the spotlight.
