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'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

Upside: no hypersensitive reactions, and once you're careful approximately your sources, plenty extra socially in charge (yet that gets relatively costly). draw back: They final continuously and now you have each and every kind of pretend flowers kicking around. i might say that in case you have a place that would take the flowers afterwards (in step with threat a church for decorations, or a craft team) then it relatively is a much extra helpful determination. in any different case i might say that except somebody has extreme hypersensitive reactions which you're extra helpful off figuring out to purchase the convenience of having the flowers be some thing you could toss interior the compost in a week. (maximum flowers will final various days, so do no longer difficulty approximately them rotting with the aid of the tip of the night).

I'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.

I don't see why a rose wouldn't work if the bulb was firm and closed when you bought it.
You could also try a small bunch of spray roses which look beautiful.

Zinnias seem to last forever, with a little fern very pretty.Doubles are best.
