lingering on


I had a look around the house and it seems that this weekend we are decorating with 'yesterdays' flowers. The flowers from a potted plant that had started to hang with their head still looks lovely in a vase and those fantastic tulips looks as good as ever in a bowl of water.

What about you, do you keep your flowers as long as you can or do you toss them out as soon as they show some sign of decay?

  1. I love the tulips in the bowl! I am guilty of keeping flowers around too long. I just feel bad tossing them!

  2. I'm with Hollie-I always keep them after their prime. It was so warm today one of the blossoms from our orchid just fell right off, and I tried to save it!

  3. Så nydelig! Veldig god idè med tulipanblomstene i en bolle, jeg har pleid å gjøre det med roser, men har aldri tenkt på at det funker med tulipaner også! Takk for tipset, og ha en koselig fredagskveld!

  5. Hi Signe,
    I always keep them until they fall apart, too precious to throw away sooner right?
    Enjoy the weekend,

  8. I keep them as long as possible as I don't get flowers often enough. I'm hoping I'll have a house with a garden with some flowers that I can cut and bring into the house.

    Its mothers day in the UK on Sunday and my sister had expected me to get the flowers (and I was waiting for her to say when to order them as I mentioned it at the beginning of the month and she said it was too early as MD is late here this year)... so I've no idea now if I'll be able to get some. We tend to buy one expensive bunch from all of us as my mum thinks its a waste of money if she gets more. We then get lots of other small gifts.

  11. Du er smart! Eg let ofte blomane stå lenge, men dei er i grunn ganske lite dekorative på slutten ;) Dette var ein god idè i forhold til tulipanar, takk! Og god helg :)

  12. I keep them. I haven't completely outgrown the feeling that they have feelings, and I'm hurting them by throwing them out.

  13. I keep flowers around as long as possible. I think I need to find more creative ways to do so, however! I love the photo of the tulips in the bowl of water. I'll have to borrow that idea! :)
