I feel like I should share what just happened to me while reading your post. I am sitting here at my computer with tears literally rolling down my face because I'm laughing so hard. I was very puzzled during the middle of reading your post. The title was about flowers, and I was reading about flowers. Then all of a sudden I thought I was reading about your mother in law's undergarments! I was shocked and a little confused. So I re-read the sentence. About her corsets. And I thought...hmm...why did Katie know her corset was on upside down? Why is she telling us? How could she tell unless her mother in law showed her? Could she tell through her clothes? How would that even work? It looked a little strange? I don't understand what I'm reading...so I started over and ONLY THEN did I realize that you wrote CORSAGE. NOT corset. But for whatever reason my brain kept seeing corset. Oh my. Thanks for the laugh, and I hope you and Martin have a wonderful weekend! :-) Katie I loved that poem and I am going to send it to my husband…hmmm…I wonder if he knows my favorite flowers?!?

Never heard of carrying flowers upside down before! Also have to admit I'm bad about remembering to change the water and trim the stems each day. Guess that's why my flowers never last as long as I think they should. Great tips, Katie! Thanks! :-) Found this really interesting. Never heard of carrying flowers upside down before!

I saw a documentary on some European city where they buy cut flowers more than anywhere else - can't remember where, but it was somewhere in Eastern Europe you wouldn't expect. I'm on a tight budget at the minute and what I really miss is buying flowers - I can't wait until I am able to treat myself again! I’ve heard of using sugar before.
