The two enemies of cut flowers are bacteria and drought. Defeat both, and your flowers will last and last. You will be amazed! 1. Start with a clean vase. Scrub it with soap and hot water, rinse well and fill with tap water. Next, add 1/4 teaspoon of liquid bleach for each quart of water. This will retard the growth of bacteria and fungus in the water. 2. Remove any leaves that will be below the water line. Sub- merged leaves will rot and pro- mote bacteria and algae growth. 3. Condition the stems. Flowers can die of thirst even when stand- ing in water if the stems have not been conditioned to draw that water all the way to the blooms. That's because when cut, a flower stem quickly seals its "wound." This can prevent it from drawing water. Just before plunging the stems into the vase of water, cut stems at a 45-degree angle so the greatest amount of water as possi- ble can be absorbed. 4. Change the water every day. The moment that water turns cloudy, you know bacteria is present. Some flowers like lilacs, dogwood, crab apple, azalea, camellia and for- sythia have "woody" stems. They appear to be more like branches than stems, and require a specific treatment to help them draw water. Split the last two inches of the stem with a sharp knife. Pound that part of the woody stem with a hammer until it is well frayed. Now the stem will allow water to draw all the way to the blooms. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Certain types of flowers require specific stem treatments. For example, when cutting carnations and similar flowers, make your cut between the nodes of the stalk, so that it can more easily draw the water it needs. Lilies, particularly the stargazer variety, have orange pollen that will leave a permanent stain on anything they touch, especially clothing and table linens. Remove the stamens with manicure scissors before proceeding to condition the stems for placement in the vase. When you purchase roses from a florist, the thorns have most likely been removed. When you purchase flowers in bulk from a flower mart or other bulk source (some- times called a "grower's bunch") or cut them from your own garden, you will need to remove the thorns from the stems with a sharp knife, working from the top down to put less stress on the stem. There's nothing quite so lovely than a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Follow these simple tips, and you'll be able to display them with confidence and pride for much longer than just a few days.
