Himalayan Flower Enhancers

IFER is delighted to offer the Himalayan Flower Enhancers, made by Tanmaya, our wonderful friend from eastern Australia. These essences are called "enhancers", and in this regard they are somewhat distinct from the Bach Flower Remedies, and other lines of essences which chiefly focus on remedying ailments of mind and spirit.

As Tanmaya puts it, these are "flower essences that provide a unique aid to self-enquiry, hence they are called 'enhancers'.

When one is very sensitive and open to nature, it is clear that plants and their flowers each have their own character and qualities. Taken as an essence, these flowers can resonate with, and awaken or enhance the same qualities within a person.

Nature offers us complete healing - restoring balance and well-being, and allowing us to awaken to the truth of our wholeness and interconnectedness with all of life. Flower essences are a gentle form of treatment, unique in their ability to address physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects simultaneously. They are usually made by a delicate process of attunement, in which sunlight creates a transference of the flower's vibration, into water, resulting in a unique "signature" or potent healing essence.

The process of capturing this healing essence involves ceremony and intent as well as the harvesting of the parts of the flower to be used.

Flower medicine and flower remedies have been known of for many thousands of years for their effect on the mind and emotions. When one is very sensitive and open to nature, it is clear that plants and their flowers each have their own character and qualities.

Our flowers have been selected for their unique qualities. We make the essences ourselves, travelling the world to collect our flowers. And of course the Himalayan flowers are sourced from the pristine environment of The Himalayas."

Flowers smell

As we have said, the flowers that wear pretty dresses or use perfumes don't do it for themselves alone but to please invited guests. Many flowers, for the same purpose, always have on hand during the social season a supply of cookies; others, little jars of honey. Some keep open house, in the matter of the honey-jars, leaving them out where any passer-by can help himself; while others put them in certain rooms to which only particular friends have the key. 
Some flowers, the poppies, for example, dress in very pretty taste but use no perfume; while others, the roses for example, have both pretty dresses and perfume. Neither of these flowers have any sweets to offer their guests, but both keep on hand an abundance of pollen which the bees take home and stow away in their tiny wax jars in the pantry, so that not only the queen but the rest of the bee folks of their hive can sit in the parlor and have their bread and honey, just as the queen did in Mother Goose; for what the bees call "bee-bread" is really bread and honey, a mixture of the pollen with the honey which the bees make from the nectar of the flowers.

HERE ARE THE SWEETS! HELP YOURSELF!

Among the plant people that "keep open house" are those magnificent trees, the Lindens. Their flowers are small and not at all showy but they have a lovely perfume, are wide open and have an abundance of nectar. In the flowering season they simply swarm with bees.

In the case of the Willows the nectar is partly concealed in the short, tube-like corolla, by hairs or scales which act like little locks to keep out certain uninvited guests but can be opened by the bees who carry "keys"; that is to say, the bees have tongues that reach to the bottom of the tubes.

But why should flowers be so particular as to what visitors they entertain? It's because the bees and some other little people, such as butterflies and moths, have flying-machines and, by dressing up for these visitors and serving dainty meats and drinks -- pollen and nectar -- the pollen fairies can ride away on these machines and meet other fairies in other flowers; for the dressed-up flowers haven't any flying-machines of their own as have the pollen-grains of the Pines and the Oaks and others.

Chandigarh Flowers


Why should you buy flowers online? Well, the most important reason is better selection. A1 Chandigarh flowers may have in store a stock of maybe one dozen varieties of roses while online stores can offer you scores of varieties and types of roses. There is a physical problem about garden or flower centers because there is just not enough space to hold all stocks available in only one place. This is non-existent with other online flower websites. Web supplies are able to give you the widest choices of flower stocks that may be difficult to find in your local flower store.
Tips on Buying Flowers Online

The first thing to do is to find out how the website sends the flowers. This could be in a vase. If a website sends flowers already in a vase, it means that they are ready to be displayed upon delivery. Other websites may send flowers in a box. This is common among growers or distribution centers. If this is the case, you need to set up the flowers first before displaying them. Decide how you would like your flowers to be delivered before settling down on a particular website.
There are the so-called “order gatherers” who are not legitimate online flower companies. They just take your order, pass it on to a florist to fill the order, and they get a commission. This means that you pay more than what you really should. To avoid “order gatherers”, you can call the “store” first and check out if it is legitimate.
You can support “green” farming all over the world by choosing to buy “green flowers”. These kinds of flowers are those that are eco-friendly and organic. Better farming practices are encouraged so as to minimize environmental problems. In addition, “green flowers” are also priced competitively with the regularly grown ones.
Of course you have to compare prices. Go through different online florists and have a comparison of their regular and value-added services. Since you have to pay for shipping and other service charges, you have to make sure how this would affect the total price. Also, find out if the vase is included in the price and how many flower stems you are going to get. This way you can estimate the price per stem. If there are freebies offered, find out if you really need those or if they do not affect the price.
Sometimes this one important consideration is taken for granted – that of the site’s terms and conditions. Read thoroughly their replacement or refund policy as well as their freshness guarantee statements send flowers to chandigarh. This way, you could avoid undue problems due to your unawareness of their sometimes “hidden” terms and conditions.
How Do You Keep Your Flowers Fresh – Longer
When cutting the flower stems, you have to do it at a sharp angle. Doing so increases the surface area of the stem in contact with water and this allows for better absorption. Stems that are cut flat rest flush against the bottom of the container. They tend to block water from penetrating the stem, which greatly shortens the vase life of your flowers.
Place the stem immediately in water after cutting. Stems dry rapidly and when this happens they seal up the path of absorption. When extra bark remains at the tip of the cut part, remove it to prevent water contamination. Doing so would prolong the vase life of your flowers.
Leaves and thorns that will be below the water level should be removed or trimmed. These materials decompose under water and attract bacteria. Be particular even with small debris which could be small thorns or branching stems. Scrape all of these thoroughly before placing the flowers in water.
Nicks or cracks in the stem that are above the water level could block water flow to the flower. It is important to put the deepest water possible to prevent this, since water is not absorbed only through the base but also from the outside part of the stem. When cleaning the stems, be extra careful not to create cracks in the part of the stem that is above the water level.
Use water that is just warm enough. Warm water is absorbed better by flowers than cold water. Do not use hot water because it will cause shock on the flowers. Dip your fingers to find out the right temperature.
Decomposition rate of the stems submerged in water can be slowed down by making sure that the stems are clean. This is the reason why you should remove even the small debris. The cleaner the stems, the slower will be the rate of decomposition and the longer your flowers will remain fresh.
As much as possible, you should place only one kind of flower in one vase. Different kinds of flowers have different make up and decompose by different means. Mixed flowers in one container decompose faster than those of the same kind.
When cloudiness or discoloration of water starts to appear, bacterial growth has already started. It is advised that water should be changed at least every two days. You should be particular with this because bacteria grow very rapidly. Any delay could mean an irreparable damage. Replace it with warm water so that the stems will reopen and allow water to flow to the flowers. Again, water should be not be hot.
To Summarize
Buying flowers online would give you more benefits than the usual visit to the local store. Again, it is better selection that tops the many reasons why you should do so. With the helpful tips just enumerated, you can avoid any problem regarding online florists.
There are some recommended websites where you can buy your roses and other flowers of your choice. Find one that offers the best price, but also be particular with their delivery or shipping terms.
Find out other helpful tips to care for your flowers. Keeping them fresh for a longer time gives more life and beauty to your home, office or other places. You get more value for your money. Practicing the correct way of prolonging the vase life of fresh flowers is also a challenge to your self.
