How to preserve flowers?
I just saw Martha Stewart dip flowers in parafin--wax used for canning. she had melted the wax and she dipped each flower twice.
If the tulips have bulbs and soil, plant them in your garden and they will come up next spring!
Reply:Put them in a book and dry them, Use a dehydrator or you can even freeze them.

Flowers + Women?
I buy my wife flowers on christmas valentines birthday easter and anniversary, Thats it. She has just told me I buy her flowers too often. I didn%26#039;t think that was possible, what do you think?
Flowers + Women?
I would love someone like you to do that to me , I wish every day someone could give me flowers I%26#039;m single I wouldnt mind at all , I think she just bored with flowers maybe, try something different like her favourtie food, I%26#039;m so glad what you do however I feel you are a true gentleman keep it up
Reply:Your wife is lucky - this is true - I was married to a funeral director and when he cleaned out the back of his hearse he collected the loose flowers that fell from wreaths and bunched them together at the bottom with tin foil and handed me them saying %26quot; I know u like flowers and its a shame to waste them%26quot; That was the only flowers he gave me in the 19 years we were married .....
It will come as no surprise to know were now divorced
Reply:My husband doesn%26#039;t ever buy me flowers, but i told him it was ok. My mom doesn%26#039;t get flowers from my dad either. She said if he doesn%26#039;t buy her flowers now, when she dies, he better NOT buy her for her then. She would rather have them when she can enjoy them not when she is dead. I say go ahead and buy her the flowers. She loves it!
Reply:I think she is crazy. I get them only on the spur of the moment from my hubby, she should feel lucky.
Reply:that is way too often. get her something that will last forever, not something that is just gonna die, and you have to toss in the garbage.
Reply:some girls just don%26#039;t dig the flowers thing. It%26#039;s become kinda mainstream. It%26#039;s old, unoriginal.
Reply:Stop buying them completely. That%26#039;ll teach her to complain. ;)
Reply:Gosh I would love flowers from a guy, I have only ever had them around twice when I was first caughting my last fella. I suppose for birthdays and Christmas if you just buy her flowers and nothing else that would be boring but to receive flowers with presents, well I think some women just have too much of a good thing LOL!!!
Reply:Maybe she just doesn%26#039;t like flowers. I don%26#039;t, and I told my husband to please never buy me flowers. There are so many other things one could buy for their significant other - flowers are a cliché, and a real waste. Buy her things she REALLY likes (chocolates, stuffed animals, gadgets, anything you think she might like).
Reply:is she from another planet? we all love flowers and there%26#039;s never too much! my man gives me flowers only on valentine%26#039;s day and this year FINALLY he gave me roses in our anniversary! maybe your wife is not a sweet person... and i let them dry and put them in a special place so he doesnt think that I just want roses and then when they die put them in a trash can. for me, roses, notes,whatever he gives me is so important!!!
Reply:You just can%26#039;t find the magical combination.
My wife complained that I never bought her flowers. So I did out of the blue a couple of weeks ago on my way home from work. She left them on the table and didn%26#039;t even unwrap them and went straight to bed (i.e. sleep).
Two weeks later %26quot;how come you never buy me flowers??%26quot;
grrrrrrrr..............
Reply:This may be too often for her as she likes other things then just flowers.. How about candy or a nice romantic card of some nice perfume or jewlelry... I like flowers too but i love it when my husband buys me all sorts of special things! I like a variety and probably would get bored if he only bought me flowers all the time... Just a suggestion:)
Reply:If she has said it, then it is so. You%26#039;re making a generalization that is apparently not true in her case.
Reply:women do love flowers, just like they love chocolate, but you can have too much of a good thing, what happens when you have too much chocolate? you are sick. she may appreciate the sentiment more if you give them a little less often, maybe she thinks your taking the easy option by getting her flowers at every occassion, she may feel that you do not put any effort into thinking of an alternative gift. try getting her something different next time, and if that doesnt work you can always send the flowers to me!
Reply:Maybe she wants you to start buying her other things like jewelry

Who should carry the flowers in these situations?
1) A girl has bought flowers for her boyfriend%26#039;birthday. They are meeting at a restaurant. She gives him the flowers. When they finish, he walks her home. Who should carry the flowers?
2) A boy has bought flowers for his girlfriend. They meet at a restaurant. He gives her the flowers. When they finish, he walks her homme. Who should carry the flowers?
Who should carry the flowers in these situations?
i think whoever was given the flowers should carry them. why would you accept a gift just to make someone else take care of it for you? (not you, but %26quot;you%26quot; as in people in general)
Reply:1)Girl should not give guys flowers.
2)the girls should carry the flowers unless they are too heavy, they boy will help her carry them.
Reply:In both situations, whom ever wants to carry the flowers.
Reply:the recipient
Reply:Whoever was given the flowers should hold them.
Reply:It doesn%26#039;t matter. He can if he wishes... she can if she beats him to it.
Reply:Whoever receives the flowers should hold it. The guy in situation one and the girl in situation two.

Do most women receive flowers AND another gift for their birthdays from their husbands?
Just wondering what is more common... do women receive flowers only or flowers and another gift from their husbands/boyfriends on their birthdays? Men... what do you normally give?
Do most women receive flowers AND another gift for their birthdays from their husbands?
On our anniversary, her birthday, and Valentine%26#039;s day, she gets flowers, a card, and a gift.
On Mother%26#039;s day, she gets a card and flowers.
Honest.
We men are all still waiting for you girls to celebrate March 14. (See below.) Hee Hee!
Reply:In the past I would remember from during the year what she liked
and give that as a gift,with a card %26amp; dinner.
Plus chase her around the bedroom.
Reply:NORMALLY, I would take my woman out for a real nice dinner, at that time I have a florist deliver a bouquet of flowers(not roses) as they are way to over used, then I have certificate for her to use at a massage parlor (while I wait) then home were I have dessert waiting for her. (usually something chocolate that I made myself) Then after all is well and done, I draw her a warm bath, with her favorite bath solution(usually from Lush). After she is all dried off and in her favorite (NEW) silk bathrobe, I go down on her for at least 20 min(takes only two minutes for her to experience true pleasure) and than I let her go to sleep.
Reply:i am lucky if my husband remembers a card. i dont need gifts. i love flowers. but i usually get one or the other gift or flowers.
Reply:ha..it would be nice if mine would just %26quot;remember%26quot; and acknowledge it verbally. i guess i am simple. to get flower and/or a gift-i would probably die, literally!! (then he wouldn%26#039;t have to worry about my birthday anymore, know would he?) but, i aint dying soon because he will never remember anyways.
Reply:I guess it depends on what kind of relationship you are in. All I got for Valentines day was a rose, and it was the best gift to me.
Reply:both if they are smart...
Reply:I%26#039;ve been married long enough now... she doesn%26#039;t want that... she wants stuff like filing cabinets and scrapbooking supplies and stuff like that....
Reply:I always get flowers or something on my birthday, now on valentines day that%26#039;s a different story, but men are a little clueless, you have to tell them what you want sometimes. It would be nice to think that they just thought of you and were sensitive like that, but a lot of men just aren%26#039;t. It doesn%26#039;t mean that they don%26#039;t love you, they just don%26#039;t think that way.
Reply:My birthday is on Valentines Day. I am lucky if I get flowers and another gift. I figure they are 2 days in 1 and should both be celebrated. We have argued this many times. I am lucky if he takes the initiative to think of a gift for me.
Reply:I give gifts, and some sort of nice experience (like a play, going out to eat, short vacation, b-day party).
Reply:i think most of them would receive flowers ONLY. i think men would just pick the easiest gift on the planet.. they%26#039;re too lazy to think about what their women truly want/need .
Reply:I don%26#039;t think that most women receive flowers or two gifts. I think that it depends on the man and the woman.
It is quite a gift to just have a man remember and do anything particularly special for his woman.
More often than not my male interests have taken me out to dinner for my birthday. Some have given a card or flowers particularly if they are the mushy sort.
If I had to pick the most thoughtful things a man has done, it has been knowing exactly what I would like the most. Often times it isn%26#039;t a gift. I think it is the thoughtfulness that matters the most.
Reply:flowers die,but you can always do something with the other gift.
Reply:Yes, I%26#039;m always getting both. For me, flowers only are for colleagues and not so close friends
Reply:Flowers, cards, dinner out and many gifts. My husband treats me well.
Reply:I am lucky if my husband even remembers my birthday!! But flowers are nice! Some men are sweet and do things for their wives but then you have the ones who don%26#039;t remember their own names....lol!!
Reply:Depends on the girl. I know my wife likes flowers and lots of other stuff.
Reply:I usually get flowers dinner and jewelry for my birthday from my husband.I%26#039;m not materialistic and I don%26#039;t demand anything at all but he treats me very well to celebrate my life.But then again he gets me flowers about every other week too!! I guess this should make up for the times he%26#039;s %26quot;less than perfect%26quot;
Reply:I get flowers, many gifts, dinner and cake.
Reply:I like to give roses. When I proposed, I had put a ring inside a red rose and hid the rose and had my ex wife look for it. It was really cool the way it all fell into place. But it really sucked the way we fell apart!
Reply:warm hugs
Reply:Flowers are nice, but taking her out for dinner with just the two of you is nicer and flowers and dinner is nicest
Reply:of course I usually give my wife flowers and a gift.
