ABOVE: Bouquets can last
more than a week, Kocon
says. Buy local, fresh
flowers, change the water
at least every other day
and keep them out of
direct sunlight and hot
temps. Sterilized vases and
containers work best.
LEFT: In the bouquet are
spirea foliage, thornless
blackberry, cosmos,
amaranth, daucus dara,
zinnia, lisianthus, dahlia,
eucalyptus and
sanguisorba.
