I don?t like the thought of these going to complete waste. I?d like to save the seeds and plant them. I?ve heard of drying flowers and saving the seeds. Any tips for me to salvage the seeds and plant? Thanks! <blockquote>If this is a <strong>cut flower bouquet </strong> the flowers are picked before they mature enough to develop seeds. If you have a fuzzy center on one of your flowers then there is a slight chance of seeds. You can plant them pointed end down, it takes 15-25 days to germinate. It takes 6 months from germination to blooming. </blockquote>ic: How to Send Flowers I recently received a bouquet of Gerber Daisies that lasted about 1 day before dying.

Are there water vials to buy? What do I do to the flower? Please Help =) It depends on what type of flower you want to send. Water vials can be purchased from any florist. Many suppliers ship flowers with a cold pack to keep the flowers cool. Use a reliable shipper that will deliver your flowers in the shortest amount of time.
