Rachel's Bouquet

This bouquet is suitable as a gift for a birthday or to mark an important event — such as graduation. It can be given to a loved one, a colleague, or a friend when you want to express affection with restraint and taste. Tulips look equally good in a home living room and on a festive table.

To keep cut flowers fresh longer, trim the stems at an angle with a sharp knife and place them in clean, cool water. Change the water daily and remove any leaves that end up underwater — this way the stems won't start to rot.
