Hello Friends!
Jumping back a short while now, and as promised a quick little update on the vase of top heavy daffodils that kept on lying down for a rest. You can read about it here. I feel I should say that, despite the original difficulties, now that a solution is found, they are very definitely worth the effort, as they are so very pretty.
Thank you to everyone, on here and Instagram, for your suggestions to cut the stems and put in a different vase. However, as this has happened before, I know that is not a solution as the bend just reoccurs further up until there's no stem left to bend.
I found an empty passata jar, recently thrown in the recycling bin, which looks rather like a quaint, old fashioned glass milk bottle, and I had an idea. I put the daffodils on the counter, shaping the big, double blooms into a pompom, tied them securely together, but not too snuggly, with some garden twine, trimmed the stems, and put them in the passata jar with plenty of fresh, clean water. Four days later and they still look fresh as a daisy, well, daffodils, not daisies, but you know what I mean!
