GREENSBORO, N.C. — Whether your sweetheart spends $5 or $105 on flowers, you want them to last as long as possible. 2 Wants To Know has four tricks to make those flowers last longer.
#1 Snip a half-inch off each stem.
#2 Remove any leaves that will be below the water line. Leaves and water make for rotting and cloudy water.
#3 Put new water in your vase as soon as you get your flowers and change that water every two to three days.
#4 Finally, you know that flower food packet? Use it. no aspirins, no Sprite, no drop of bleach, use what came with it
That flower food packet has the right amount of sugar, acid, and bleach. so trust it. Now, if you don't have the flower packet you can make your own! Martha Stewart helps us with that.
Valentines Day History
You know Valentine's Day is always on February 14th, but back in 400 A.D., it was February 15th.
The Fertility Festival had women put their names in an urn and bachelors would pick a name and be paired with her for a year.
All that stopped around 498 A.D. when a Pope declared February 14th St. Valentine’s Day
