bouquets are purchased or snipped from beds-a- blooming their fresh looks can be kept lon ger with just a few easy steps if gathering from the garden the best time is in the cool of early morning or late evening and carry a pitcher of water to plunge the stems in as theyre cut after bringing inside use a clean sharp knife or scissors stems could clog with a dull utensil and recut stems on a slant under water either in a bowl or beneath a running faucet this prevents air bubbles entering the stems and blocking the intake of water cutting on an angle allows water to flow freely when ends rest on vase bottoms if stems are too short for a tall vase one you cant see through length could be added by inserting stems in straws but cut the straw ends on the diagonal fill a clean vase with tepid water and break off any submerged foliage because bacteria is promoted by decaying leaves if you have a largemouth vase and want the flowers to stand upright just place trans parent tape across the top in a crisscross fashion and insert stems in the open squares cut flowers can be enjoyed longer if placed in an airy cool draftfree area as heat sources from sunny windowsills floor registers
