I cut off more than half of its stem and put it in water with Vitamin C dissolved in it. Guess what? After 3 days, the rose bloomed! I also noticed that the bottom part of the stem got thicker and greener than the part closest to the bloom. Maybe cutting off more stem will make more nutrients available for the bloom and that's why your lisianthus didn't wilt immediately upon "recycling".. :D I once did an experiment with a rose bud that was about to wilt.

These were used for my bridal bouquet and it's a great alternative to commonly used roses. I love a traditional looking bouquet. Since our wedding, my husband would always get me these (like for Valentine's day one time and more recently flowers for my hospital room after giving birth). I was recently given pink-edged ones--are these naturally pink-edged? They look so dainty & feminine. Love it! :) One time I was able to make the blooms last for a week. It's that hardy. :) I can’t not coment on this post! These were used for my bridal bouquet and it’s a great alternative to commonly used roses. I love a traditional looking bouquet.

Have been captivated by the name and what could be seen there ever since I heard the Michael Franks song "Tiger in the Rain" that talks about being "lost" in Jardin Botanico.
