Alistair Give the stems a light bashing at the end or cut a slit in them and remove the leaves. It's not a copper-bottomed 'recipe' but it usually works for me. Here's a useful site for conditioning flowers for arranging: http://www.thegardener.btinternet.co...ditioning.html -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

Thanks Sasha.
That seems to be a worthwhile answer, and your suggested web site is a worthwhile visit. I hope some other garden groupers have benefited. Alistair |
