Tulips

Last Saturday, I purchased some beautiful tulips at the Flowerman Pasadena's 50% off sale. I promptly took them home, re-cut the stems, placed them in a vase of water mixed with floralife, and set them on the dresser near the window--plenty of indirect sunlight--and perfectly cool temperature. Let me tell you, those babies have been rockin' ever since. Five days later, they're still going strong. --literally, they grew like an inch. Did you know tulips continue to grow even after they've been cut? Crazy, huh? I actually re-cut the stems on Wednesday. Not only did they stand straight up in my vase (tulips are notorious droopers--even when fresh), but they opened beautifully throughout the week. Ahhhh...delight.
