Ganesh, I've only ever bought or had given to me liliums of the oriental variety. But when you buy flowers here the florists most often attach a small sachet of 'flower fresh', a preservative to put in the water. Does that happen in London? It *does* work.
You could experiment with a little sugar in the water -- that or vinegar sometimes helps. Vinegar certainly prevents slime forming.
Re-cutting the stems is another strategy. I always re-cut the stems of roses if I buy them, and they last over a week.
Xoc, methinks you need to get for Ganesh a small tome with a title something like Botany for Flower Arrangers . |
