Does anyone know the trick for keeping Queen Anne's Lace from drooping
after cutting?


They say to sear the cut end of poppies over a flame to keep them from
drooping. Haven't tried it.

Easy trick to try on QAL.

if Charlie's idea doesn't work, try putting the stem in boiling
water for a few seconds and then plunge the stems in cold water
all the way up to the flower heads overnight if possible.

(you must be entering flower arrangements in the county fair??
have been wondering where you were!)
