Carte Blanche

• "Carte Blanche" ships with 10 stems of Oregon-grown varieties of white lilium orientalis. Each stem features two to five blooms per stem so expect an average of thirty blooms per bunch!
• How long does it take the white lilies in this arrangement to bloom? Lilies ship in bud form (they sort of look like little umbrellas) and may take several days to open. In a hurry? Trim the stems and place in warm (not hot) vase water. Rinse and repeat! 
• Are lilies safe for pets? According to the ASPCA, many of the flowers and foliage we and other florists use aren’t safe for pets but lilies are especially toxic. Keep you and yours furry friends safe by keeping “Carte Blanche” out of their reach or behind closed doors.
• How can I prevent lily pollen from staining my shirt? Once blossomed, lilies are notorious pollen droppers but prevention is the key. As soon as each bud starts to open, use your flower clippers, scissors, or a tissue to remove the stamen – the fuzzy looking red/orange things that stick out from the center of the flower. Your white tableclothes and shirt sleeves will thank you later!
