Floral designers take care not to purchase flowers with


A. insufficient fragance.
B. unopened buds.
C. excessive fragrance.
D. bruised petals.

To answer this question, you need to understand what qualities floral designers consider when purchasing flowers. Let's analyze each option:

A. Insufficient fragrance: Floral designers usually look for flowers with a pleasant fragrance. If a flower has insufficient fragrance, it might not contribute to the overall aroma of the arrangement. However, the question asks what floral designers "take care not to purchase," so this option is not correct.

B. Unopened buds: Unopened buds refer to flowers that have not yet fully bloomed. Floral designers often avoid purchasing these because they prefer flowers that are in full bloom and will have an immediate visual impact when used in arrangements. Unopened buds take time to bloom, so they might not contribute to the desired effect. This option is correct.

C. Excessive fragrance: While having some fragrance is desirable, flowers with excessive fragrance can overwhelm other scents in the room or even cause discomfort for some people. Floral designers might avoid purchasing flowers with an overpowering fragrance. However, the question asks what they "take care not to purchase," so this option is not the correct answer.

D. Bruised petals: Bruised petals refer to flowers that have been damaged or have visible marks due to mishandling or physical impact. Floral designers aim for fresh and visually appealing flowers, so they would avoid purchasing ones with bruised petals. This option is correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B: unopened buds and option D: bruised petals. Floral designers take care not to purchase flowers with unopened buds or bruised petals.
