My Irish grandma put about a 1/2 teaspoon sugar in vase filled with room temp water. Her various flowers lasted much longer than usual and were so beautiful! The lilacs lasted a week, rather than just a day or two! A friend uses an aspirin instead of the packets that come with florist bouquets. I tried an experiment with three vases, same flowers in each...the first to wilt was the florist packet vase...after 3rd day! The aspirin vase lasted 4-5 days, but drooped by 5th evening. The sugar water bouquet lasted longest, made it to a week!

I just picked a big bouquet of Lily of the Valley yesterday for my home. Mine are especially sentimental to me because they were my Dad's favourite flower. After he passed in 1977 I dug a couple shovelful's from my family home and planted them under my lilac's. They have now spread to about 12' deep and at least 25'-35' long, and I always lovingly remember my Mom and Dad when I see those beautiful, fragrant, little delicate blooms each Spring. Really enjoyed this video. ~~M~~

My simple pleasure yesterday was taking time to read a magazine. That isn't normal for me. Although recently retired, I'm always on the go. Lilies of the Valley are so pretty, however I would warn anyone planting them that they can be very invasive. A friend gave me some over 30 years ago and they go EVERYWHERE! I've tried to keep up with removing them, but their runners are sometimes a foot below the ground, as I found when I tried digging them up!

Nice parasol!! I have a couple that I use occasionally. They come in handy out here in the desert. Speaking of the desert, we did not get much rain in the past months, so we did not get the blooming snd greening that I was hoping for. I am reminded of how beautiful the green is that surrounds you back East. When we lived in Utah, I got Lilly of the Valley as well. I loved making arrangements to enjoy their delicate beauty. I love the “new” antique shop that you found. My kind of store! I could spend hours in there looking at every single thing!! I just love the golf picture (what a great deal you got!) That you picked up for your husband’s office! It is just perfect. As you can see, I completely enjoyed your video today. I always enjoy them! Xo

I read that lilac leaves should be removed as they drain energy and water from the flowers . Just put flower stems with the leaves stripped off in your vase.

I have several friends who stroll with Japanese paper parasols which are readily available. Very romantic if noy whimsical. Love lily of the valley. My grandmother's garden was filled with them. We were encouraged to leave them in the garden for show. Lilacs are tricky. Cut long diagonals with a sharp knife. Also spice the woody stem up the center a bit tp create more surface area to accept water. Crushing the stems can possibly crush the capillaries which could prevent the flowers' ability to drink. If you shears are not sharp they also pinch the capillaries closed. I was trained to swipe stems withca sharp knife. Put the fresh cut stems into warm water immediately so the ends do not have time scab over sealing the water inside but preventing intake. If the lilacs start to fade try recutting and placing in fresh warm water in a clean vase. Bacteria in the water is a flowers certain demise. More than additives like sugar, aspirin, flower food (which acts against bacteria) and the like clean water is key. Love the fragrance of lilacs.

Hello Linda, I'm new to your videos and I'm an 'old' interior designer with thoughts and some things we like in common! I live in Minnesota (lots of swedish influence here). I've had old houses and new, but I'd take a redo any day over new. My husband and I redid 5 old houses then built a new one. Now, my health is unstable and I do not think I could do another. I wanted to tell you about white lilacs. I have some and they don't last as long as some of the others. First, remove all lower leaves, then get mean and 'hit em' with a hammer 3-4 inches from the bottom, add some sugar and change the water every day!!! Hope this works for you, Blessings...Laurene
