These are looking really good Bloomer... It just goes to show how long you can keep flowers if you follow the tips for example: Change the water frequently, cut the stems, keep them out of direct sunlight and away from a heat source ie a radiator.
Bloomer - Don't forget to watch those Lily stamens with the pollen - it will stain the furniture if it drops on it... I don't know how to remove Lily pollen from furniture :o( However, if you should brush pass a Lily, and find pollen on your clothes - try to remove it gently using sellotape. If that doesn't work completely, and the garment can be washed - wash in the usual way and dry in the sunshine with the stain showing. I've always found this way to work... ;o)
Hope your flowers last a bit longer :o)))

Thanks for the tip about the pollen ,Petaltracey..the ones you see had just opened up,and were removed after I took the photo,.with scissors not fingers..and all the others as they appeared..:o)
I have had experience of the stains before..not a good look on clothes or hands,is it?! Lol. and the table is a glass topped one..I took no chances ..and thanks for the washing tip too :o)
