    wild flowers in vases???

    Any tips as what to add to the water - or tricks of the trade to stop picked 'wild flowers' from wilting as soon as they go into a vase????

    24 - 48 hrs plus I'm hoping for ( for a wedding weekend)

    Any suggestions appreciated!
    Thanks

    I did read that aspirin in the water helps. I really haven't tried it though. Flower arrangers 'condition' plants before use - plunge them into very deep water overnight before arranging.

    Hope it all goes well!
