(17:41 on Tue 14/Feb/06) As soon as possible after purchasing or picking, take a pin and push through at the top of the stem just under the petals then place in water.

(18:46 on Tue 14/Feb/06) tulips also grow when in water after they have been cut which tends to assist with the flop thing as they get taller than when first arranged, you have to keep shortening them
