Help Cut Flowers Flourish
The best time to cut flowers from the garden is after sundown, and next best is early, morning...using a sharp knife or scissors to cut stems so the cells which take in water won't become clogged. Cutting stems on the slant allows an ample supply of water to seep up to the blossoms so the flowers can remain fresh longer. Another way to prolong their life is to let flowers soak up to their necks in cold water, while set in a cool dark place, for a few hours before arranging them. Be sure to remove all foliage which would be under water when the flowers are arranged, because this decomposes rapidly when submerged.
