Fresh flowers in January are just what is need to brighten things up inside. Making them last longer with a drop of bleach is a great tip. I remember ruining a white shirt in my waitressing days when I move bud vases from table to table and got pollen on the front of my shirt. Nothing would remove it!

A quick tip that has saved many of my clothes....If you get pollen on you, don't wipe! Use tape and gently press down on the pollen. It will lift right up. If you wipe, it will stain your clothes.

Oh Richella...I love to get flowers and I want them to last as long as they can. Thanks for the tips. I never have put bleach in the water....just the little packet of stuff that comes with the flowers. Will that packet be enough...or should I add the bleach too?

Hey, I am excited for the new website with you 33 gals. I think you and September are the only ones I know. I can't wait to see what it is all about!

Love ya,

I've never heard of removing the anthers, is that to just avoid pollen in the air or the mess or another reason? Also, my grnadma taught me to cut stems at an angle under a stream of tap water, just a thought! Have a good flower day!
