🏠 HomeToday's Tip
In France, fresh flowers are not reserved for special occasions. A small bouquet from the market every week is a household staple. But the rule is restraint: one variety per vase, never a chaotic mixed bunch.
Try This
This week, buy a single bunch of one flower. White ranunculus, or simple greenery. Place in a clear glass vase with water changed every two days. One vase, one type, full impact.
Cut stems at a 45-degree angle under running water to prevent air bubbles. Remove all leaves below the waterline. Add a drop of bleach to the water (yes, really). French florists never use flower food packets. The bleach prevents bacteria without altering the water.
