What is the longest lasting, least droopy flower you know of?

I bought these cute on the wall vases for my apartment that allow a single stem to be placed in each, and currently I have Gerber Daisies. I doubt they will last long...does anyone know the answer to this? I hate carnations...and will only resort to fake flowers when i am going out of town.

actually, i have found that gerber daisies last the longest as far as common flowers you can get at a florist or supermarket. Add a little bit of sugar to the water, or use Sprite...it helps the stems last longer. Also trim the bottom of the stems frequently to keep them fresh. I agree about fake flowers, but what about dried flowers? Dried roses can be beautiful....many others that are very cool but i don%26#039;t know the names:)


...question for you: why do you worry about having flowers in the vases when you are not even there? ...just curious :0

You could also try a small bunch of spray roses which look beautiful.
Reply:Zinnias seem to last forever, with a little fern very pretty.Doubles are best.
Reply:daisies of course, and baby%26#039;s breath. you can put baby%26#039;s breath in there and leave it, they dry looking the same as alive
Reply:I%26#039;ve had good luck with carnations. Recently a bunch lasted almost two weeks and they were just from the supermarket. What ever your buy, buy the freshest you can and change the water regularly.
