  • Cut a little, or a lot, off the stem of your purchased flower with a clean, sharp knife.
  • Remove all foliage that will be below the waterline.
  • Scrub your chosen container well.
  • Keep the water clean-change it often, cleaning the container well each time.

It's that simple. A single flower will draw you close, focus your attention, slow the world down to its own pace. A single flower can, quite literally, change your life.
