It is my sisters 40th birthday! I want her to feel it for as long as possible... :)

What type of cut flower lasts longest in a vase?
Callas last up to a month. Dahlias, Carnations, Gerbera daisies, Zinnias, last a week+



Why not get her a potted flower (she'll feel it a lot longer *grin*) Something like Gerbera or Dianthus, New Guinnea Impatiens, there are lots. Check the garden department at WallyWorld.



I feel the sisterly love!! Happy day to your sister. (Glad I'm an only.)
Reply:cut them on an angel they will last longer
Reply:Chrysanthemums!
Reply:Carnations always have staying power and you can get them in a nice variety of colours with babies breath or status added in.
Reply:Orchids last several weeks. They are much more spectacular than many other long-lasting flowers, and come in a broad array of colors and types. Any cut flowers last longer if they are kept out of direct sunlight, the room is cool, you change the water every few days, and add flower fresh or an aspirin tablet every time you change the water.
Reply:idk - but what I do know is that a tulip is the only flower that continues to grow even after it's been cut. I hope that helps!
