Does that statement sound like something you or someone you know would say?
In this industry, things are changing all of the time. The varieties of flowers available are ever-changing and expanding. It is sometimes difficult to even keep up with the changes; science has made leaps and bounds in every aspect of our floral offerings.
We now have fresh flowers that routinely last two or three weeks. That is astounding when you consider how long a bloom might last in your garden! Just think about that, a flower that lasts longer cut and inside the home than when on a plant? Incredible but true. When following the basic floral care practices your local florist gives you, you too can enjoy the beauty and magic of fresh flowers in your home without breaking the bank.

Interesting… I heard if you put a penny in the water it will make them last longer but that has to be a myth. Heard anything about that?

@Mimis-Garden
There actually IS a truth to that. A shiny new penny would probably do absolutely nothing. However, the minerals that a more traveled penny gives off can be beneficial to cut flowers. Let me add though that the flower food your local florist provides is all that you need, it is formulated to actually mimic the mother plant.
