flowers

If you enjoy buying fresh-cut flowers, buy them at a grocery store rather than from a florist.   You will save a lot of money and the flowers last just as long!   A neat way to prolong the life of cut flowers is to add a quarter cup of soda pop to the water.  The disadvantage of any fresh cut flowers is that they eventually die, even if you use the soda pop, so, what I like to do instead, is buy a small potted plant.  Over time they often die, too, but they last a lot longer.  So, if you are thinking of doing something sweet for your friend or loved one, consider buying them a small potted plant – the gift that keeps on giving by staying beautiful for a long time.
