Aquarius: Jan. 21-Feb. 19 /
Flower: Orchid New year’s resolutions don’t always sit so well with you. That’s because so much of your energy is spent on innovating and improving all year long. So, don’t feel too bad if you don’t have a list of improvements to make or habits to break. Meanwhile, a persistent worry will suddenly cease. Try not to let a new fear or concern take its place; just savor the stillness. A co-worker may make an odd request; consider it carefully and if you can help, do so. It’s always smart to make deposits in the favor bank. Treat yourself to a little something on the 26th.

Care Tips for Cut Flowers
Lilies
1. Lilies tend to arrive in bud stage in order to protect the bloom and ensure a long lasting life. It is remarkable to watch them unfold with grace and beauty within the first few days after their arrival.
2. Cut 1 inch off the bottom of each stem with a sharp knife or floral scissors and remove any leaves that will come in contact with the water in the vase.
3. Fill the vase with tepid water and add 1 packet of flower food.
4. Be sure to keep your bouquet away from direct sunlight, drafty areas or high heat to insure a long life.
5. As lilies bloom it is important to pull the stamen out to keep the pollen from staining clothes. If the pollen does get on a material surface it is best to use tape to remove instead of rubbing it into the fabric.
6. To keep your bouquet fresh, re-cut the stems every few days and replace the water with fresh water.

re-cut their stems Every few days, remove the flowers from the design and re-cut the stems. Remove 3/4" to one inch from the bottom of the stem and be sure to cut the stem at an angle to allow the flower the best chance to take up water. Use a sharp knife or sharp floral cutter or scissor. Avoid smashing or piercing the stems, as this can destroy the water vessels in the stem and prevent water absorption. Remove any spent or damaged blooms or foliage that falls below the waterline in the vase.To avoid disturbing the stem placements in a vase arrangement, tie the stems with twine just above the vase’s edge before taking them out of their vase. Hold the tied arrangement at the twine-bound point to re-cut the stems. Then place them back into the clean vase with the fresh water and a flower food.
change their water, and add additional fresh flower food Be sure to clean the vase before refilling it with room-temperature water mixed with the proper amount of fresh flower food. Be sure no debris is floating in the water (such as leaves and stem parts) as this could promote the growth of bacteria which can shorten a flower's life.
display them in a cool spot Most flowers prefer temperatures between 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 22 degrees Celsius) and are best displayed away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators, which give off heat and can cause flowers to dehydrate. Avoid placing fresh flowers near ripening fruit, which releases tiny amounts of ethylene gas that can age them prematurely.
Keep the vase, container or liner filled with fresh water. Even if the container has floral foam, you should keep the water level high to promote long lasting flowers. The container’s water has a fresh flower food added to it. If you completely change the water, you should also thoroughly clean the container. Add fresh water mixed with a commercial fresh flower food. These flower foods may be supplied by the florist who delivered your order and they contain the correct ingredients to properly nourish the flowers, keep bacteria at bay (which can block the stems and prevent them from absorbing water), encourage buds to open, and lengthen the life of the bouquet. It’s one of the best—and easiest—ways to extend the life of your flowers, but be sure to follow the directions on the package correctly. Improperly mixed flower food can actually do more harm than good.
re-cut their stems Every few days, remove the flowers from the design and re-cut the stems.

Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 20
Flower: African violet Nothing better than a brand new year and lots of calendar space for ultra-organized Caps to fill in with ambitious plans and projects. Allow some flexibility in your master scheme and maybe even some spontaneity! At the end of the month, you may have an important conversation with a partner or boss about getting more support, either at home or at work. Think carefully about what you’ll say and what you need to ask for. Keep a positive tone and keep your expectations realistic. Don’t worry, however, if the talk doesn’t go exactly as you’ve planned. You will be heard. On the 14th, 23rd and 30th you will be touched by tiny moments of magic. And if you feel like sending yourself flowers on your b’day, there ain’t nothing wrong with that!
