Not-So-Fresh Flowers

If those flowers you just got seem kind of sad now...

...You can perk them up and get a few more days out of the blooms. Now is the time to trim the stems again and change the water. Throw an aspirin or two in there if you can. It’s best to keep them out of bright light and away from any fruit – which actually speeds up wilting. If you’ve got any hairspray handy – hold the arrangement upside down and give the blooms and leaves a shot underneath. That will keep them in place for longer.
