Question: What kinds of cut flowers last the LONGEST?



Question : What kinds of cut flowers last the LONGEST?
I know carnations and alstroemeria last long, but are there any others? Estimations on days of life? What flowers don't last long at all? This is for ordering flowers for a relative (birthday) thru teleflorist. Thanks!

Answer #1
tulips are pretty hardy for your yard. A boquet of roses is the most meaningful and prettiest to give someone , but will die in les than a week. Carnations are pretty and last a bit longer.

Answer #2
teleflorists may not give great flowers in the sense of durability. Why not send a potted plant they are more hard and last longer

Answer #3
This is always hard. I have found sending a plant or dish garden with a few carnations placed, just to add color always makes a well received gift.Once the cut flowers die away the plant still lives giving much pleasure to the recipient. Personally I just love getting roses, even though they die away, they are always beautiful, and smell delightful.Mixed Spring Floral Arrangements are good also. Things will die away gradually, while others survive for a little longer. It is so close to Christmas, how about a poinsettia.

Answer #6
It bothers me that flowers don't smell any more. Maybe for the sake of people with allergies. IF allergies are not a problem you could order flowers requesting that the bouquet has fragrance. I just ordered some for my daughter on her BD. She said the fragrance filled her home. I usually try to call a local florist where ever the person lives so I can get personal service. They still give you the same prices as if you called teleflorist or FTD. Plus a $3 or $5 tip will insure you a beautiful bouquet. Nice to speak directly to the people who are going to put the bouquet together.
