Some of you may already know this...and some may debate the merits...but I've recently discovered that a solution that keeps my cut flowers fresh just a little bit longer:
1. A few teaspoons of sugar in very tepid water
2. A few eye droppers of bleach
Stir... and wash the flower stems (after cutting off the last 1/8 - 1/4 at a 45 degree angle)
So far my first fall bouquet I recently purchased at Hannaford's about 17 days ago looks good as new. It's closing ranks on the gladiolus bouquet I purchased over the summer at Whole Foods that lasted about 3 weeks.
