About the flowers
Sunflower
Thick stems drink a lot of water, so top up daily. Sunflowers face the light even after cutting.

Alstroemeria
Several flowers on each stem, opening one after another. Snap off the leaves below the waterline.
Lasts 2 weeks or more
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
