| Outside of cutting your peonies at the point of a soft ball (before opening), changing water daily, cutting them in morning or late evening, flower preserving food and/or placing them in cold water and cool room, does anyone have a full-proof method of making your blooms last more than 5-7 days in a vase? Usually after maybe the 4th day they start to drop petals. Can anyone suggest a water hydration additive or solution to use? |

| I saw an ad online around a year ago for a "water globe" vase where the peony bloom was put in it & you filled the globe with water, then you closed it - looked like one of those water balls with "snow". They claimed the bloom lasted a long time like that. I tried to find that vase for you, but no luck! Maybe you could try submerging a bloom in a vase underwater & see if it lasts longer! They claim the submerged bloom is "magnified" by the water & they look really cool. Would keep the ants from prancing out into the house, too lol!! |

| Thanks sue141452 for your response and efforts. I just thought other fellow peony friends would have had a suggestion or experience they swore by. I'll review that website. I just appreciate the bouquets when they are in season. |
