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.

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.

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.
