SPRING FLOWER ARRANGEMENT TIPS
To prolong the life of your cut flowers, keep the water clean and re-cut the flowers for better absorption. Flowers keep best when cut with a sharp knife (un-serrated) and plunged immediately into water. Cut the stem in a slant, as it exposes more surface area. Also, remove the leaves of your spring flowers that will be under water in the arrangement.
