Brief History of the IndustryBy: Queennie Jeanne Cudal

Page 4: Flower arranging

Egyptian Period(2800 B.C. to 28 B.C.)

Florals during this period were

used for temple offerings and banquet table decorations, and at times for garlands, and wreaths for guests. The primary flowers used were Lotus, Acacia, roses, water lilies, violets, Madonna lilies, narcissus, jasmine, poppies, and especially the sacred lotus blossom.

Greek Period (600-150 B.C.)

Roman Period (28 B.C. – 325 A.D.)

Flowers were used more for

adornment during this period, and herbs were used with the flowers in garlands, and wreaths. Triangular and symmetrical arrangements were typical, usually with one or a limited number of colors. White was common, because it as a sign of purity. The primary flowers used were roses, hyacinths, lilies, iris, narcissus and violets, along with grape leaves, herbs, and seed pods.

The Roman Period continued

with the Greek Period customs, but the wreaths and crowns were more elaborate than those used by the Greeks. Flowers were arranged in baskets and cornucopias and the crowns and garlands were tapered and emphasis was made on the fragrance of flowers.

Page 5: Flower arranging

Byzantine Period (320-600 A.D.)

This period continued with the

Greek and Roman styles with the addition of fruit with the flowers in a twisted effect in the garlands. Foliage and flowers were used in large baskets, goblets, or low containers and were highly stylized, and neighboring hues, such as green, blue-green, blue, and violet were used with complementary accents of red, red-orange, orange, and yellow.

Medieval Period, The Middle Ages

(476-1400 A.D.)

Renaissance Period (1400-1600 A.D.)

Not much is known of the floral

art during this period. The information that is available was gathered from Persian paintings, rugs and tapestries. There was a definite Oriental flavor. Flowers were used for religious functions, and numerous types of containers were used.

There was a continuance of some

of the characteristics of the Greek and Roman styles during this period. Fruit, cones and foliage (such as olive, ivy, and laurel) were arranged with flowers. The primary flowers used were dianthus, daisies, lily of the valley, lilies, violets, roses and primroses, and the Christmas wreath was introduced during this period.

Baroque Period (1600-1775 A.D.)

Styles of this period were

influenced by the works of Michelangelo and adopted by designers in Holland and Belgium. The early Baroque styles were symmetrical, but later became more asymmetrical. Large containers held extravagant arrangements of many different kinds of flowers, such as iris, marigold, lily, peony, canna lilies, narcissus, hollyhock and roses. The topiary along with

symmetrical designs with no focal point was introduced during this period. The designs were informal, fragile, and delicate and were predominantly arc and crescent-shaped.

Delicate, cool colors were used in

floral arrangements before the French revolution, with the revival of the Classical Period following the French revolution.

French PeriodFrench Baroque and French

Rococo (18th Century)

Louis XVI (Late 18th Century)

Page 7: Flower arranging

Empire Period (1804-1814)

During this period military

symbolism was often used in arrangements, associating emblems and figures with the emperor. Many of the designs were simple and triangular in shape.

Arrangements had flowers

simply crammed into sturdy containers, with little or no concern for design; however, during the later portion of the century, arrangements had a greater sense of design. The favorite flower in Great Britain was the rose, so roses were abundantly used in floral arrangements.

Floral designs became more

lavish, almost to the point of overflowing. The containers most commonly used were flared vases or urns of alabaster, porcelain, silver or pewter. Arrangements almost always contained roses. The flowers most commonly used during this time were tulips, lilies, anemones, dahlias, fuchsias, asters, bleeding hearts, and other common garden flowers along with the roses.

English Georgian Period (1714-1760)

Victorian Period (1820-1901)

Page 8: Flower arranging

Early American Period (1620-1720)

During this period the early

colonists generally produced plants for food or for medicinal purposes. The time they had for arranging flowers was spent on simple arrangements to decorate their very modest homes. However, in the Central and Southern Colonial areas, flowers were made into simple mass forms using numerous colors in the arrangements copied from the English Georgian and French Empire periods.

Mixed floral bouquets of the

Williamsburg tradition predominated, and garden flowers such as anemones, lilies, roses, Dutch bulbs of all kinds, hollyhocks, phlox, sunflowers, violets, bachelor buttons, marigolds, strawflowers, daisies, dianthus, and snapdragons were all used along with field grasses and foliage. They were arranged in fan-shaped styles and used fine, feathery material on the outside to contrast the solid masses of blossoms in the center.

The Neoclassic and Empire styles

(evolved from Europe) and the delicate French style had a great influence on the styles used in late colonial America at this time. The charm of individual flowers with fewer blossoms was used in containers, and floral arrangements containing masses of mixed bouquets were used less often.

Colonial Williamsburg (1740-1780)

American Period (1780-1820)

Page 9: Flower arranging

American Victorian Period (1800-1920)

The English Victorian period

began to spill over into the United States during this period. Many different kinds of materials were used for ornate containers which were filled to overflowing with blossoms of cool colors and an abundance of white. Rich purples, magentas, and dark blues were also used in the floral arrangements. In the deep “South,” as in England, the Tussy-Mussy was popular.

A style of flower design called the

“New Art” rapidly replaced the Victorian style. This new style spread throughout the United States after the end of the First World War, and an increased interest in flower arranging developed. The floral designers of this time developed a style combining the Oriental line arrangements with the European mass arrangements. Flower shows became very popular.

Industry of the BusinessBy: Ronalie Academia

Page 11: Flower arranging

Global market share

Companies in this industry sell flowers, potted plants, and other gifts from physical retail establishments. No major US companies dominate the industry. Floral order-taking services such as 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, FTD, and Teleflora provide orders to independent florists but are also competitors.

The US florists industry includes about 16,000 retail flower shops with combined annual revenue of more than $5 billion. Consumers' discretionary income is a major driver of demand.

Page 12: Flower arranging

Local market share

Over the last two decades, growers and enthusiasts realized that the high return on investment, higher standards of living, rapid population growth, and an influx of tourists led to more fickle clients who only want high-standard cut flowers.  For a period of nine years (1991 – 2000), fresh cut flowers and buds earned USD 371,281 annually.  There was an increase in the domestic market’s demand for cut flowers and it grew to such an extent that the Philippines had no choice but to import flowers like orchids and chrysanthemums to meet the demand – particularly on Valentine’s Day, All Saint’s Day, school graduation months of March and April, and the Christmas season.

• The country has its strengths for cut flower production. It has an ideal climate for year round production with the capability to grow both tropical and subtropical varieties.

• Considering the wide availability of land waiting for tillage and production of agricultural crops, it would not be difficult to produce cut flowers since suitable production techniques are already available. The richness and diversity of Philippine flora allows the development of varieties of cut flowers with endemic species as parents. A very important factor that contributes to the cut flower production in the Philippines is the existence of a very active horticulture association, of which commercial growing of cut flowers is one of the main objectives.

When cut down, a plastic bottle can hold flowers in water in non-watertight containers.

A floral foam block and tray provides a good base for medium-sized floral foam arrangements. Cut and trim soaked floral foam with a craft knife, which can also be used to condition flowers.

Shears are used to trim and split woody-stemmed foliage and thick-stemmed flowers, while florist's scissors are ideal for conditioning and trimming flowers and thin-stemmed foliage.

Chicken wire can be molded to fit in an opaque vase or container to hold the stems of an arrangement in place.
