I saw a post on a message board I belong to, where a lady made her own potpouri from the flowers she received from her hubby on Valentine's day. I was getting ready to throw mine out, but decided I would do the same. I keep fluffing them up in the bowl on my dining room table, and they still smell really good, even though they are getting really dried out.
I received some more flowers this week for my anniversary, that when they start to wilt I will pull the petals off and add them to the bowl.
What a great way to preserve your flowers a little longer! I will have to take a picture and post later.
