I bought these gorgeous poppies on Tuesday.
This is how they looked on Friday.
I know flowers demonstrate the ephemeral nature of beauty, but really? Three days? Is this normal?
How long should poppies last?

No idea. I am not good with plants or flowers.
Me either it would seem 😦
Pretty normal for poppies Munaiba…they’re glorious, but short-lived, even in the wild. I usually buy them before they’re properly open if I can. A reminder to live in the moment:)
These poppies are very sensitive and fragile plants, but they are so beautiful
have been told if the ends of the stems are seared with a flame the flowers will last
longer (three days)
Thanks Douglas. Interestingly they were seared in the vase in the shop, then before she wrapped them she chopped off the seared bit and wrapped them in wet tissue. Maybe she should have left them be.
Thanks Dot.
