Lilies
|
|
|
- Cut about 1" from the bottom of each stem at a diagonal angle then place in a vase of fresh water.
- Remove all stems and leaves below water level.
- Recut stems and change the water in the vase every other day.
- As the lilies open, you will need to gently remove the pollen anthers by pinching them off to avoid pollen dust. Pollen can stain clothing and furniture; you can use sticky tape to remove it.
