About the flowers
Tulip
Tulips keep growing in the vase and bend towards the light. Cool water and a tall vase help them stand.
Lasts 5 to 7 days
Freesia
Small trumpets with a big, sweet scent. Flowers open up the stem from the bottom.
Lasts 7 to 10 days
Narcissus
Daffodils release sap that harms other flowers, so florists condition them on their own before mixing.
Lasts 5 to 7 days
Pistache
Soft, feathery foliage that fills gaps.
Lasts 2 weeks or more
