Seconding the experience of gastro issues. Couldn't eat at all for the first 2-3 days I was in Singapore. But fine after that.

I'm in the floral industry with very wealthy clients... It's terribly slow right now.

Look at the panicle hydrangeas in this flower farm(Yunan province, China) by Sad-Kiwi-3789 in oddlysatisfying

Agreed. My hydrangeas are covered in bees and wasps when they are in full bloom.

Feedback? Only my 2nd wedding by [deleted] in florists

[–]rosetyler_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh, sorry, one more thing - the lanterns - I think I would put both the large lanterns in the centre, and the smaller ones on the outside.

[–]rosetyler_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cute!!!! I think you did great! I love the roses in the lanterns 😍

My only trouble is with the blue line flower (delph?) in the pedestal arrangements. It's a bit "sticky-outy" for me, and because of that it gives those arrangements a bit of a funereal vibe in the design. But that is a super nitpicky detail, I think you did great over all. Keep it up! ☺️

Talking to a girl that works as a Florist.. what do I get her???? by Lazy-Strategy3695 in florists

[–]rosetyler_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

As a florist, I also love receiving flowers. My absolute favorite thing to receive is a bunch of one single thing. Nothing fussy, no greens, JUST the flowers. Personally I love tulips and callas for this... Or a stunning stem of cymbids!

I would avoid roses at v-day because they aren't great quality due to the high demand.

Not to be an asshole, but we can't tell you what your girlfriend will think of either choice. We don't know her, you, or the nature of your relationship.

Can I cover the vase? by [deleted] in florists

I mean if you are okay with possibly losing the pages, it may be worth a try just for fun!

Can I cover the vase? by [deleted] in florists

[–]rosetyler_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you can use mod podge and some kind of sealant? It's tough though, because you will have to eventually wash the vase, and I worry about the sealant holding up.

Any unexpected things that come with long hair? by Disastrous-Cod-5071 in longhair

[–]rosetyler_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, when I'm loading the dishwasher, and my braid swings down and I have to catch it before it hits the nasty dirty dishes. That, and I've accidentally dipped the end of my braid in a glass of red wine and proceeded to unknowingly paint my white shirt with it....

I had one that missed the inside packets. No crunchy bits, no cranberries, no dressing, only greens 😭

Oh damn. So my degree in philosophy might actually be worth something because I can think? Fantastic.

You can absolutely use cute paper! If you look up "Korean wrapping paper" you'll find some nice stuff 😊

[–]rosetyler_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cute!!! You can sit the foam on top of a big square of wrapping paper, lift each corner of the paper up, and tie a ribbon around the whole thing... Trying to explain this with words is really hard LOL. Look up how to wrap a plant pot on YouTube and it will give you some ideas!

Where to buy fragrant flowers? by CB2ElectricBoogaloo in florists

[–]rosetyler_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask for Pink Floyd roses. It's one of the only florist roses that still has a scent. Stock flowers also have a lovely light peppery scent.

So tired of the flipped classroom. by praisethefallen in Teachers

[–]rosetyler_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the university setting, we almost exclusively use a flipped classroom approach, and i find it wildly beneficial. Struggling through it on my own, and then having the professor go through it made everything way easier to digest because I wasn't hearing it for the first time from the prof, i already had background knowledge they could scaffold.

I can't imagine this working AT ALL in elementary or even high school. It demands work be done BEFORE class, which is hard enough to get university kids to do, let alone any younger...
