| Flower Tops |
It is not very often that I get a bouquet of flowers so I try to extend the enjoyment of having them for as long as I can. When the stems start to droop I cut off the flower's heads and float them in a wide bud vase or bowl. The tops stay fresh like this for quite a while, and it really catches people's attention!
Fantastic tip. Thanks for linking to the Frugal Tuesday Tip this week. http://juliecache.com/2012/02/20/coupons-and-the-frugal-tuesday-tip/.html
ReplyDeleteBelieve or not I got this idea from reading: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woof The bohemian woman in the story cuts the heads off of flowers.
ReplyDeleteThat is really gorgeous. I don't get flowers very often either. I usually have to buy some for myself, or plant them, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up! I cut the bottoms of the stems off every couple days and put fresh water in the vase. Seems to make them last a bit longer too! Your flowers look lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes, I find that helpful too. I cut the tops off when the flower droops over.
DeleteWhat a great idea! I should have read this before chucking my flowers in the trash this morning.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I get so sad when my fresh flowers start to wilt!
