It works with Roses too. And zinnias. A friend waxed an entire magnolia bloom! But a daylily is still a day-lily even when waxed. Different flowers are fun to try. The process is the same as with camellias, and the flowers look like porcelain. You will be amazed. If a clumsy guy like me can do it, anybody can! It is great fun to experiment with, no kidding.

This is an interesting idea that I want to try. By the way, I never had luck with cut camellia flowers either until I learned the secret...just keep them outdoors protected from elements. A week ago, I cut some camellia J. stems/flowers and put them in a vase on the outside cafe table close to my front door. A week later now, the open flowers still are gorgeous and even the buds are beginning to open. I'm sure to have at least another week or two out of these cuttings at this rate.
