A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:
Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.
Food
If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!
Temperature
Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.

Green Posy
A heartbreakingly lovely small posy. The vivid contrast between the green shamrock chrysanthemum, the pure white roses and the purple lisianthus make this a perfect tribute arrangement when the right words are hard to find.
This posy is approximately 30cm in diameter and 20 cm high
I would just like to thank you on the service I got on the delivery of flowers to my girlfriend, it made my day and certainly hers, claiming it was the best and most beautiful ones she had ever received from me. Thanks again as your flowers got me in very good books.
