The smell needs to be complimentary with any other flowers being used as well as the color of the flower." She looked at the professor. At least I think....

The flowers need to look beautiful individually and compliment each other when they are grouped together."
She smiled, satisfied with her answer.

"Well, you should make sure non of the flowers are wilting, thats usually a sign that the flower is not healthy. You can tell by making sure non of the flowers are drooping, shriveled, or turning brown." answerd Allie. "I also think that you should look for flowers that are maybe unusual colors, when you arrange them, because it will really make you arrangment stand out."

"Obviously, we always have to choose those that fit better with each other and we have to try to avoid the ones that are somehow damaged."

Taking off the stopped, she dropped a drop into her mouth and shook her head, anger flooding her veins. She was a witch, a powerful one she might. "The colours are important are they not?" she asked, raising her hand in curiosity..
"Very good, everyone! Two points to each of you!" She smiled brightly. What bright students these girls were! She was certain the boys wouldn't understand at all.

She reached down as Jimmy brought her a cup of coffee. She took a sip of it before continuing. "Bigger isn't always better of course. But I'll give you one point for the rest. After all, who can resist the cuteness of babies' breath flowers?"
She smiled to the rest of them. "You will each have a pair of safety clippers, made so that it will cut the flowers but not you. Pick out some of the best flowers out of my collection. But remember to leave a few good blooms on the plant. Never ruin a plant for the sake of the arrangement. There's always good replacements. Put them into one of the pitchers of water. Then you will pick a vase and a packet. These packets contain powder that will turn the water into a colorful potion which will freeze the flowers' look as they are for about a week."
