What are some cheap flowers that will last that I can get for a vase?
Carnations, daisies and mums are all fairly cheap and will last quite awhile. You need to remove any green leaves that are below the water line, add alittle clear soda (sprite, 7 up) to the water, it nourishes the flowers. Cut stems on an angle under running water and place immediately in vase of water. Change water if it becomes cloudy. Keep away from overly warm areas. Enjoy!
Reply:alstromeria they are pretty cheap %26amp; will last awhile. Buy them closed up they will open in a day %26amp; last about 10-14 days if taken care of properly
Reply:Go for a walk in the country side. Some of the wildflowers which bloom still in the warmer climes are more pretty than anything you can get in the flower shops.





Or you could always go into a cemetery and take some flowers from those left for the dead. They don't need them anyway.
Reply:Daisies and black-eyed-susans last a real long time (for cut flowers) also baby's breath...... or get some pretty dried flowers.
Reply:Try Daisies.

Reply:Fresh flowers that are almost mature will have a longer life in the vase. in a collection of flowers we need to partly mature and a few mature.


Roses with long stems


Sunflowers with long stems


Lotus


Lillies





are all medium priced flowers which can last long if you pick them half mature
