Shannon Brown, owner of Carol Slane Florist, suggests giving Easter lilies this week.

The store, located at 410 S. Main, also offers dish gardens of spring bulb plants, cut flowers, corsages and much more.

The flower shop is open 9-5 Monday through Friday and 9-noon on Saturday. Phone: 419-634-7910.

Here are a few tips about keeping Easter lilies: To make the blooms last longer take out the yellow anther in the center of the bloom.  When the flowers finish blooming they can be planted outdoors, about 6 inches deep.
