About the flowers
Rose
The classic cut flower. Recut stems at an angle and keep them in fresh water out of direct sun.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Lily
Each stem opens several flowers in turn. Remove the pollen as they open; it stains fabric.
Lasts 10 to 14 days
Orchid
Cut orchids last a remarkably long time. Keep them away from fruit bowls; ripening fruit shortens their life.
Lasts 2 to 3 weeks
Chrysanthemum
Tough, cheerful and very long lasting. Change the water every few days and they’ll outlast almost anything.
Lasts 2 to 3 weeks
Baby's breath
Baby’s breath: clouds of tiny white flowers. It fills gaps and dries well.
Lasts 7 to 14 days
