 Yes, and those packages of flower food, what's in them? And if you don't have a packet, what can you use? Oh, I've seen all kinds of things. You can use a touch of Miracle-Gro, anything that has some type of fertilizer. I've even had people tell me they put 7-Up in there, so it doesn't really matter, as long as you have enough moisture. And, you know, the old copper penny trick with roses, that's supposed to make them last longer. I think it's where you buy things and the quality of plants, that's what lasts the most.
