I like a lot of flowers. I won't buy them if they don't have a fairly long blooming period though, as beautiful as they might be.

I know what you mean........I hate to have to throw away a bouquet that my kids send me on Mother's Day after only 2 days.......even after I used the preservative they enclose....seems like such a waste. My husband sent me Roses (Buds) one Mother's Day and I swear they lasted over a week.....opened up and looked beautiful to the end.
