About the flowers
Lily
Each stem opens several flowers in turn. Remove the pollen as they open; it stains fabric.
Lasts 10 to 14 days
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
Stock
Dense spikes with a spicy, clove-like scent. Change the water often; stock likes it clean.
Lasts 6 to 8 days
