MELBOURNE, Australia - June 18, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

The dried flower trend continues to surge in popularity and local flower delivery Melbourne business, Amazing Graze, says the style isn't going out of vogue anytime soon.

More cost-effective than buying fresh blooms for the home each week and easier maintenance than keeping indoor plants alive, another key factor driving the surge in popularity of dried flowers is the growing cultural interest in sustainability.

With a typical lifespan of up to three years, Amazing Graze Flowers recommends keeping dried flowers out of direct sunlight. While their colour fades during the natural preservation process, direct sunlight will accelerate fading, so they should be kept away from windows and skylights.

Amazing Graze also advises against putting dried flower bouquets in water, as this will cause the stems to turn brittle and could also promote mould growth. For this reason, dried flower arrangements look best placed in an opaque or ceramic vase in a neutral or contrasting colour.

Additionally, Amazing Graze recommends keeping dried flowers away from wet rooms with high humidity, like bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. The moisture in these rooms can cause leaves and petals to turn mouldy.

Dried flower arrangements can be used to enhance a minimalist space in neutral and muted tones, while bright bouquets add vibrancy to a room. When it comes to styling dried flower arrangements around the home, putting them on the coffee table, bookshelf or side table will inject life, texture and vibrancy into a space.

Once the dried flowers have been styled, it is not recommended to move them around. While they are low maintenance, they are also delicate. To remove any dust, lightly dust with a feather duster or use a hairdryer on a cool, low setting.

Amazing Graze has an extensive selection of professional arrangements available for flower delivery in Melbourne. The Dry Neutral and Dry Pastel arrangements come in a ceramic vase and are perfect for any setting, while the Per Sempre arrangement includes a combination of dried and artificial flowers of pampas grass, cotton, palm leaf, banksia and hydrangea.

Amazing Graze also creates custom dried flower arrangements. Shop online for same-day flower delivery Melbourne-wide.

Pistons outplay Wizards in double OT

Pistons outplay Wizards in double OT  

WASHINGTON — Cade Cunningham racked up 52 points as the Detroit Pistons edged a double-overtime thriller, 144-140, against Washington on Thursday (Friday in Manila). The Wizards twice extended the game with clutch scores in the dying seconds, but could not repeat the trick a third time as the Pistons held their nerve to claim an epic road win. Cunningham became the first player in NBA history to score 50 points and add 10 assists with zero turnovers, while Ausar Thompson had a triple-double with 17 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds. The Wizards had three starters scoring 30-plus points — Trae Young, Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr — but it was not enough to prevent Washington’s sixth defeat in a row. In a back-and-forth game featuring 20 lead changes, Detroit started slow but built a double-digit lead early in the second half. It was slowly whittled down by Washington, but the Pistons were clinging on to their lead when Cunningham was fouled at 119-118 with less than two seconds remaining. Cunningham sank both free throws, but Trae Young made a nerveless trey right at the buzzer to force overtime. The Wizards raced 128-121 up, but Cunningham would not quit. He made a three-pointer with 30 seconds left to level the score, then set up Dunacan Robinson for what appeared to be another. A video replay ruled Robinson’s toe was on the line, and Detroit had only a two-point lead. That proved crucial, as Young set up this year’s top draft pick AJ Dybantsa, who forced a second overtime period with a pull-up jump shot. Cunningham made a fadeaway shot for a four-point lead with 25 seconds left, and this time the Wizards could not conjure a third comeback. Young missed two three-point efforts, with Washington settling for two free throws, but were unable to score in their final possession. Elsewhere, Tyrese Maxey powered Philadelphia to its latest comeback victory, scoring 27 points as the Sixers shrugged off a slow start and the absence of LeBron James to beat the Toronto Raptors, 123-112. Maxey added eight assists, linking up seamlessly with Joel Embiid, who briefly left the court early with a knee injury but returned to add 20 points. The Sixers had trailed by 17 points in the first quarter, immediately following Embiid’s absence, but rallied for their fifth double-digit comeback this season. “We’ll take it. I mean, extreme professional win by us. We stayed with it. Didn’t start out great, but it was a good win,” said Maxey. “We played together the last seven years, so I kind of know where he’s going to be, he knows where I’m going to be at, and it’s good for us,” he said, of his partnership with 2023 MVP Embiid. Veteran James, who turns 42 next month, was ruled out of Thursday’s clash to manage a lower back issue. That meant extra work fell on the Sixers’ bench, who managed 39 points led by Anfernee Simons’ 17. Philadelphia moves to 10-3, just half a game back from the 10-2 Boston Celtics atop the Eastern Conference.

Commanders win against Giants

Commanders win against Giants  

NEW YORK — Stefon Diggs’ late touchdown secured a tense 24-21 Washington Commanders win over the New York Giants after Cam Skattebo had rushed for two touchdowns Thursday (Friday in Manila). Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, who had not thrown an interception all season, threw two on consecutive drives while seeking a comeback in a wild fourth quarter, before finding veteran receiver Diggs with a minute remaining for the go-ahead touchdown. Daniels finished with 249 passing yards and three TDs, with Antonio Williams and Ben Sinnott also reaching the end zone for Washington. Giants signal-caller JJ McCarthy threw for 293 yards and a touchdown to Isaiah Likely, with his veteran backup Jameis Winston also taking to the field for several valuable quarterback sneaks. The late loss prevented New York pulling clear in the NFC East, with the Giants remaining top on 5-3-1 but closely trailed by the Dallas Cowboys (4-5) and Washington, who moved to 3-5-1. “We came out here a little shaky, we had some execution problems here and there, but we cleaned it up and we saw what kind of team we could be,” said Diggs. Diggs said his quarterback never lost his composure despite the two interceptions. “Poised. He didn’t flinch. He looked the exact same. He knew he was gonna have a chance to win,” said the receiver. Torrential rain and lightning during warm-ups eased slightly before kick-off, as the two teams who played out an unlikely tie in Washington last month prepared for battle. Skattebo, who missed last week with a hamstring injury and in characteristically eccentric fashion arrived at this game in a Giants logo-emblazoned “Iron Man” helmet, made several powerful early runs. New York kicker Dominic Zavada missed a 33-yard field goal in a scoreless first quarter. Drew Stevens converted his 46-yard effort for Washington, before the Giants pulled ahead via Skattebo. Winston, who had swapped in for McCarthy for a quarterback sneak at 4th&1, reappeared later in the drive at 1st& goal, but this time handed it off to the tenacious running back, who scored and celebrated with a backflip. Late in the second quarter Washington took a 10-7 lead via a short Daniels pass to Sinnott, but the Giants reclaimed the advantage after the break with another Skattebo rushing TD. This time he darted outside to receive a lateral pass then 13 yards through multiple tackles. Washington continued the back-and-forth pattern as Daniels sent a wide right pass to Williams. The rookie skirted the touchline for a 31-yard touchdown. New York nosed ahead again when McCarthy dropped under pressure and sent a pinpoint pass to Likely on the halfway line, who ran the remainder of field for a 66-yard TD. Seeking to rally again, Daniels threw toward Chig Okonkwo in the end zone but was intercepted by Jevon Holland at the pylon. Having reclaimed the ball, Daniels then sent his second interception of the season, barely three minutes after his first, to Ar’Darius Washington. But after a poor Giants punt with under two minutes remaining, the Commanders scored the winning touchdown from a three-play, 49-second drive. From 32 yards, Daniels found Diggs who evaded two tackles and dashed to the line before turning and dramatically falling backward into the end zone. Needing a field goal to force overtime, McCarthy’s deep pass with 25 seconds left was picked by Rasul Douglas.

Crow-Armstrong, Alvarez win MVP awards

Crow-Armstrong, Alvarez win MVP awards

LOS ANGELES — Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong was named baseball’s National League Most Valuable Player on Thursday (Friday in Manila), ending Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani’s two-year reign. The 24-year old was a unanimous selection ahead of Ohtani and Brice Turang of the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers, earning all 30 first-place votes from a panel of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez won the American League award, becoming the fourth Cuban to earn MVP honors. Crow-Armstrong delivered one of the best all-around seasons in MLB history, tying Kyle Schwarber for the MLB lead in home runs with 45 and finishing second in the National League in stolen bases with 41. He became the seventh player in history with a 40-40 season and joined Ohtani (2024) and Alfonso Soriano (2006) as the only players to have at least 45 home runs, 40 steals and 30 doubles in one year. Crow-Armstrong played 162 games, piling up 107 runs-batted-in with 83 walks and scoring 119 runs. He joins an illustrious list of Cubs players to win the award, including Ernie Banks in 1958 and 1959, Ryne Sandberg in 1984, Sammy Sosa in 1998 and, most recently Kris Bryant in 2016. “I don’t even know where to put myself in all that,” said Crow-Armstrong, flanked by family as he spoke on the MLB Network’s award presentation ceremony. “I’ve been so lucky to be around such great Cubs and even more than that just really big people and names in the game of baseball. “I’m happy to be able to carry on their legacy,” he said. Ohtani was a finalist for a fifth career MVP. He won his first two with the Los Angeles Angels in 2021 and 2023 and bagged the NL award in each of his first two seasons with the Dodgers — 2024 and 2025. Despite a season that was hindered by injuries — he didn’t pitch in a game after July 3 and his effectiveness at the plate also suffered as he dealt with left knee and right biceps injuries — Ohtani remains one of two players, with Barry Bonds, with at least four MVP awards. Bonds tops the all-time list with seven between 1990 and 2004. Alvarez, 29, was also a unanimous choice. He won the AL batting title with a .316 average and led the league in on-base percentage, slugging percentage, total bases, walks and extra-base hits. Alvarez, who won a World Series title with the Astros in 2022, finished second this season in runs-batted-in with 106 and tied for second in home runs with a career-high 42. He was so feared as a hitter that he drew 33 intentional walks and becomes just the second player who was primarily used as a designated hitter to win an MVP award — after Ohtani in 2024. “Incredible, incredible,” Alvarez said, appearing from his home on the televised award show. “I don’t like to show my emotions, but I think I’m super emotional about this because my family here, my brother, we’ve had such a long road. Such a hard road. We never imagined we’d get to this point, but it’s just unbelievable.” Junior Caminero, the 23-year-old Tampa Bay Rays sensation who hit 42 home runs and had 101 runs-batted-in, finished second in the voting with 27 of 30 second-place votes and Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals was third.
