My Latest Bouquet

 


I treated myself to a bouquet of flowers from Trader Joe's last weekend and I wondered how long they would last.  Sometimes when I get bouquets at grocery stores, they don't last very long.

I was really worried when one of those cute pink flowers snapped off right at the base of the bloom.



























I took that little pink bloom and put it in a dark blue bowl with water and it's still looking as good as new today!

And just yesterday, the lily buds in the bouquet have opened up.  I might have to get flowers at Trader Joe's again.  They seem to do very well.

  8. I do the same thing with roses sometimes when they break off our bushes -- float them in a bowl with water. It does work!

    Beautiful bouquet!

  9. They are lovely. I went to a grocery store yesterday to get some cut flowers and ended up buying two bunches of white hydrangea. Boring, but they fit the place I had in mind for them
