Cutting Fresh Flowers

How beautiful is a bouquet of fresh cut flowers with different colors and types. It gives the house a sense of beauty and peace. Do you know why people tell you to always cut the bottom of the stem at a diagonal and not straight across?

The reason, I found out, is to expose more stem area so that the flower can suck in more water and stay fresh and alive longer. You probably say "everyone knows that". Not true. How many persons have you seen reach for a knife or scissor and cut straight across the stem of the flower?

I was one of them until now. Now I am very careful of how I care for my fresh flowers. Also remember to cut with a very sharp knife or scissor to avoid hurting the stem.
