How to Look After your Cut Flowers
Tips good for all flowers
Fill a vase 3/4 full with water. Take each flower and remove leaves which would be submerged below the water level, then put them in the vase.
Change the water often.
Snip off any dead, diseased or dying flowers, or remove the flower completely from the vase.

Flowers with soft stems
Flowers with soft stems (daffodils, tulips, lilies, freesias, etc) like having a little stem cut off after the water change. You will notice after they've been standing in water that the bottom of the stem curls. Snip this off with sharp scissors and replace in the fresh water.
Beware of the pollen on lilies, it stains skin and clothing.

Roses - Use a blunt instrument to bach the cut end of the stem and add an aspirin to the water. If rosebuds start to droop before they open, remove the stems and plunge them into boiling water for a few seconds. Arrange with gypsophilia and greenery (like fern) for a beautiful arrangement.
