One of the most delicate creations is a flower’s petal. Petals are often the showiest part of the flower, forming the bloom to create its unique shape, colour and fragrance. They also have many beneficial uses as well, such as being the primary ingredient in essential oils for medicinal and cosmetic use. We’ve all heard of jasmine, lavender and geranium oils, but for your local Toronto florist, the most prized flower petals is from the rose.
Rose Petals
Rose petals are used around the world for culinary purposes, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. They are processed to produce such consumables as rose water, rose extract and rose syrup. But for a florist, rose petals are offered in their original form to consumers who demand them.
That’s right. For the diehard romantic, a sprinkle of fresh velveteen rose petals on a candlelit table, to mark the path on the floor or across the bed is a must for the most romantic days of the year, Valentine’s Day. Add a few to garnish floating candles in a bowl of water, toss some in the bathtub for absolute luxury, or include some with the gift you intend to give to your loved one – rose petals are versatile! Even when they dry, they remain beautiful.
Not Just for Valentine’s Day
Don’t think rose petals are just for Valentine’s Day. Any romantic occasion may be enhanced, including weddings, anniversaries and proposals.
