Last week, while visiting Nana, we picked a bunch of beautiful pink and purple/blue hydrangeas from her yard for me to take home. I’ve have recently decided that they are my favorite flower! They looked so cheerful and colorful on my kitchen table, and lasted for a week before they started to look droopy.
A couple weeks ago, I had made a trip to my local wholesale florist, Fresh Ideas, and one of the florists told me that if you recut the stems of droopy hydrangeas and place them in boiling water, they will come back to life! Genius!
I thought I would give it a try….here is how it went….(excuse the horrible iphone pictures)
It worked beautifully! Although I think I had waited to long after they started wilting, because a few of the flowers didn’t pull through. But look at how well the pink bunch on the right perked up!
My bouquet of Hydrangeas are now on their second week! Nice!
Do you know any flower secrets? If so, please share because I could use all the help I can get!
