I know it's pretty obvious!!
The girls brought us two bunches of tulips on Saturday as a gift; which was so nice of them and our daughter. Then Nora and I, with a little help from Paige 😉, made up the other box of Lego flowers.
I really enjoy tulips but they tend to droop early on. By Monday afternoon I had, had to tie a string around them.
It took us 2 hours to make up the second box of Lego flowers. I will say we both enjoyed doing it, Nora and I. Nora is 9 and she found it relatively easy to make them. Plus I don't think there will be any drooping with these ones!!

If you put a copper coin in the water the tulips will last longer.

I recently bought some tulips and there was a tag on them that said to leave the elastics that were holding them together on them to stop drooping and it seems to have worked.
I love the latest Lego flowers - they're beautiful! I might have to succumb and buy a kit for myself.
The Lego flowers are a neat touch, but can't outshine tulips!
Thread the stems into a plastic drinking straw up to the base of the tulip. Leave enough of the stem at the end so the water can be absorbed. I have done it, it works.
I received a bunch of tulips recently with stalks still connected to their bulbs! The florist’s instructions said to cut the bulbs off and store them for replanting in the autumn which I thought was a lovely idea, whilst the flowers themselves went for 10 days before drooping then dying which is considerably longer than I normally manage to get.
I adore tulips and love the droop. Normally by morning they are back up again. Your lego flowers were pretty cool though. That had to be very time consuming but pretty!
I just use a very tall vase with tulips and that seems to work for about a week.
I so love those Lego flowers.
God bless.
One of the reasons that tulips droop is that unlike most other cut flowers, they continue growing in water. Caree's tip is a good one and so using a taller vase. I have found that the bunches I have bought this year have mostly lasted 10-14 days. The lego flowers are quite charming. Betty
