When ever my husband or my daughters get me flowers and they die, I use them as a center piece. I put them on my dinner table in a vase. Everyone loves them and they think I bought them at the store. Only problem is when they get moved a lot and break they make a mess. I only used Roses so far and the ones I have now lasted a year and counting.

I wish I could give you hard and fast rules about this, but there aren't any. A bud vase would be excellent on a table this size, and the bud vase can be up to 14 inches tall. For a dinner party, it should be low enough to talk over which means that it shouldn't be more than about 8-10 inches tall. For a centerpiece for a focal table, the thing should be about a foot across and as much as 12 inches high. This does not take into account the size and shape of the vase..another problem. Talk to your florist about the purpose of the arrangement and see what she says. Your good sense is always the best guide.

well i think it would be a pink rose because red is predictable but pink is rare.

Yes. I prefer to use spray plastic (available at craft stores) but a cheap laquer based hair spray will work very well. Of the brands, I prefer Aquanet for such projects.

It is called an oasis. This product is shipped dry and holds an amazing amount of water. It was developed in the 1950's for florists who, before that time, had used the glass "frog", chicken wire, and other such things to hold the flower stems in place. There are a couple of companies that make the product today, but Smitherman's is the oldest of the companies and coined the name Oasis.

Not easy to answer, "fame" is time-dependent, and someone who is popular today may not be at the top of the list tomorrow or next year.

For example in the 1950's and 60's Elvis was extremely popular, but today many young people don't even know who he is.

Examples of popular celebrities are:

Gary Glitter

Elvis Presley

Michael Jackson

The Beatles

Steven Spielberg

Tom Kenny

Barack Obama

Lady Gaga

The Queen

When you bring home the foliage, cut the stems shorter by an inch. For fine stems such as ferns, baby's breath, or bear grass no further treatment is necessary;simply put the foliage into the nutrient solution. If you have no nutrient solution, a good substitute is a simple lemon-lime soda. Mix 2 tablespoons into a pint of water. Remember, plants aren't on diets, so don't use diet soda. For heavier foliage, find your hammer. Holly, ginko stems, magnolia branches, anything with a woody stem should be hammered gently to break up the cellulose in the stem (about an inch). Then soak in lukewarm water to soften the cuts(and the hammering). Put into nutrient solution for display. If you wish to use this material for wreaths, or cut boughs for display, remember that it is NOT fireproof. Such materials should be discarded no more that 4 days after use as it is a fire hazard. An option is to purchase water pics. These are vials which will hold a limited amount of water, so check them every day for water levels. This will extend the life of your foliage to about 2 weeks.
