Fresh flowers
Fresh flowers make us feel happy. They are perfect for
celebrating special events and communicating emotions. With fresh flowers
you can say thank you, get well, and I love you.
Unfortunately, fresh flowers wilt over time. It's not unusual to receive
lovely flowers and then to feel a little down as they fade. There is
no way to keep fresh flowers lasting forever, but you can help them
last a little longer.
After you receive fresh flowers, immediately cut them with a sharp
knife and place them in water. If you make the cut on a slant, it exposes
more stem surface area. You should also use an un-serrated knife.
