2/16/11 - Worth Every Penny

These flowers are amazing.  These are the same yellow poms I purchased (and photographed) for the Day 33 post.  These cheapo flowers...purchased for just under $5...have lasted 2 full weeks already, and they still look great.  Usually I buy flowers and they last 4-5 days at the most.  I'm just so pleased with these little guys.  If they perform this well in a vase, maybe I could manage to keep a bunch of them alive in a pot. Hmmmm....

  4. Wow -- they are right -- it looks like a painting! How did you do that? As far as keeping them alive in a pot, in soil, I assume. They will go through their bloom, which will last a nice long time -- and if you are very lucky, they will bloom again in the fall. I never had much luck with mums -- the plants always got rangy (I didn't know how to prune them) and they rarely bloomed like the nursery got them too. But keeping them in a vase for 2 weeks and still so beautiful -- great job!
