They say to sear the cut end of poppies over a flame to keep them

Easy trick to try on QAL.

Found the post! Thanks, Charlie. I actually cut them and immediately
put them under a flame rather than cutting in a flame. I then popped
them in water just like any other flower. Worked beautifully.
Someone at the show said that it works for any hollow stemmed flower,
too, but I only tried it on QAL.

GREAT! Glad to see ya' back round and trust the show went well.

Makes no difference how it went, you are involved and doing what you
love. Involvement, that is the key! No matter *what* it is, or how
it is!

Care and peace

I'm moving, though, and will be starting over in a year or two with
ANOTHER garden. Don't know if I'll do the county fairs back in WNY or
not but it was a nice experience here. I wish I had got into it a few
years earlier.
