Ms. Ha Le is famous on social media with her “million-view” flower arrangement videos. She considers the gun flower to be one of the most difficult flowers to arrange. Once in the vase, if you want the flowers to stay fresh for about 3-4 days, you will need to spend quite a bit of time with the soaking process. In the picture, Ms. Ha is arranging a deep purple King of Siam gun flower.

After buying the flowers, the first step is to cut the bottom of the stems and soak them in a bucket of water overnight. Ms. Ha divides the flowers into 2 parts: she ties a string at both ends to keep the stems straight; the remaining part is left natural to create a soft, curvy shape. In the picture is a purple gun flower.

When arranging, choose the most curved branch and lean it against the vase wall to make the branch naturally bend downwards. Then insert the slightly curved branches on top.

Arrange the flowers from bottom to top like this to create a focal point for the vase with flowers drooping on one side as desired.

Continue adding straight branches in the middle. Pay attention to the direction of the flower face, prioritize arranging according to the curve of the flower branch. Adjust the heights to achieve a complete flower vase.

The petals are delicate, so place the flower vase away from fans, air conditioners. The gun flower usually blooms beautifully from 8 am to 12 pm and then begins to close to sleep.

In the evening, Ms. Ha takes the flowers to soak overnight like the previous night. The following days, she continues with the same process until the flowers wither. “If well taken care of, the flowers will still bloom on the 5th day, although not as beautiful as the first day but still unique,” she says.

Ms. Ha Le often arranges gun flowers on her days off to have more time to admire them. Currently, in addition to the original color, there are many other attractive colors available. In the picture is a salmon gun flower, the arranging process is similar to the purple gun flower.

In addition to day-blooming varieties, there are also night-blooming varieties like the American pink gun flower in the picture. The flower starts to open at 6 pm. Depending on the weather, some flowers may still be blooming at 11 am the next day before resting. The gun flower has a mild, elegant fragrance. “I can admire the flowers and enjoy their pleasant scent in the house without the hassle of taking care of them,” she says.
