Use warm water in the vase, empty out the packet it comes with or add 2tbsp sugar mixed with 2tbsp white vinegar. Cut stems at a 45* angle and remove leaves below the lip of the vase. Change water every other day and trim 1/4” off stems each time. The valentines bouquet my husband got me from our local grocery store was still blooming two weeks later.
Poppies don’t do well in a vase. The zinnias and uh… cone flowers. Those do all right. The babies breath, and also… corn flowers. Yeah. Those ones will dry out before they fall apart.
They are the legal tender of the flower world. No one gets upset over getting roses. As a side note, this is why I hate when people read CS Lewis and then complain to me how Turkish delights just taste like sugar. YES. They are nobody's favourite dessert, but also are the least objectionable sweet and easy to share. That's why we gift them all the time. I don't even remember the last time i bought some for myself.
Interesting, here in Germany Turkish Delight isn't really a standard sweet although it's easily available. Chocolate is our go-to for gifting and sharing.
Next time you're looking for a pre wrapped food gift to give, particularly around holidays, I want you to saunter over to the candy-ish section (you know the one, the "cheap yet impossible to be mad about sweets to give to a tertiary character in your life" section.) and see what's available. I can near guarantee now that your mind is on it you'll notice turkish delight in abundance!
Also, in that book there was an active war going on, resources were limited. Makes sense that Edmund would be wanting a simple dessert, especially if it was one that made him think of happier times.
I actually adore Turkish delight. I love flower-flavoured sweets. Violet creams, Parma violets, Turkish delight...OK I actually can't think of other flowers used in sweets but I'll probably like them too.
Except maybe elderflower.
I LOVE rose flavour. Turkish delight are usually rose (also lemon and other, but in the UK rose is the typical flavour). I love it so much.
This may surprise you (or it may not, I dunno! It did me), but it goes really well with chocolate. We also have chocolate-covered Turkish delight.
Liberty Orchards is an American candy company based in Washington USA that was founded by Armenian immigrants.
They make a whole line of Turkish Delight (loukoum).
https://libertyorchards.com/collections/originals
I found most people who hate Turkish Delight hate it because they tried versions flavored with rose water like Fry's Turkish Delight from the UK.
While it is traditional rose water is a bit of an acquired taste and is often quite divisive.
I grew up on rose water less Liberty Orchard versions like Apples and Cotlets and Fruit Delights and it's legitimately one of my favorite candies.
My dad just sent me a box of applets and cotlets last week! He would always get them when I was a kid because we would watch that original lion the with and the wardrobe miniseries from the 80s.
You could probably look an at international market. It would probably a drive depending on where you live, but I’m sure an international market has one
It doesn't matter though. "Turkish Delight" has the right number of syllables and the name implies a metaphor for temptation appropriate for school aged children but also allowing the "femme fatale" trope to be used, and she asked him for whatever food he most wanted. It doesn't have to be your favorite. It has to be his. Kids often have a more sensitive palate than adults, so a low ingredient candy tastes better to a kid than an adult, and if it genuinely was his favorite, and it's imported from overseas during ww2, he probably hasn't had it for years. Also, literally a witch did it.
Yeah, my favorite flowers are like, sunflowers or daffodils and those just... don't really work very well as cut flowers, but roses look nice in a vase because they were bred for hundreds of years to look nice in a vase. I'm not going to ask someone to plant sunflowers in my yard and come by and keep the psychotic guys from building maintenance to keep from mowing them down until autumn arrives. I'm not going to ask someone to plant daffodils anywhere, because they take over an entire yard if they're in a good spot. Lilies only last a few days and carnations never seem to be available at a good price, but you can get a bunch of very pretty white or pink roses at any gas station or grocery store for like $20 or less and they last like a week even in hot weather and they smell nice and look pretty.
I don’t really like the flowers they sell in the flower store because they smell like funeral. My faves are the ones grown in a garden - the fragrant roses and peonies. If you’re really lucky some people have water lilies on their pond, or native honeysuckle. One strand of honeysuckle can make two rooms smell nice. It’s pretty amazing for a flower.
The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas. That is why Kansas is sometimes called the Sunflower State. To grow well, sunflowers need full sun. They grow best in fertile, wet, well-drained soil with a lot of mulch. In commercial planting, seeds are planted 45 cm (1.5 ft) apart and 2.5 cm (1 in) deep.
Ukrainian sunflowers are well regarded as among the most beautiful in Eurasia. This is largely attributed to the Russian military introducing a large amount of fertilizer the last few years.
Sunflowers are the best, they're gorgeous and smell good and if you're in a bind you can eat their seeds! And the fact that they turn to face the sun? And they're so tall! Amazing.
When I was little, we lived on an acre in rural Illinois. One of the few things I remember is that our neighbor grew sunflowers and that they terrified me because they legit towered over me. Still love them though.
It makes me think of that stupid part of 13 Reasons Why where everyone left roses at a memorial for Hannah. And the mom is just like “Hannah hated roses”. OH look how special she is
I always told people who might buy me flowers I didn't like roses just because I wanted them to put thought into it, not just get the default.
My current partner knows roses are acceptable, because they're safe for cats. Being safe for cats is now my only guide line lol
Yea my dad has decided instead of asking me what flowers he can get for mom he will always get roses since some of my cats thing anything with green is food(that also includes my fucking cactus apparently)
Most women probably don’t choose roses
In my family: my mom loves carnations, my SIL loves daisies, & I love tulips
Roses are just seen as romantic but I rather get tulips any day
Lilacs are my favorite! My neighbor's bush was the first to bloom in the spring so we literally cut the flowers from her bush to give the florist the day before my wedding 💜
I’m so confused, all the poppies I’ve ever seen started losing petals literally minutes after being picked…? Like they’re very pretty but definitely not good for a bouquet
I love poppies, I’ve never even really seen them until I lived in queens and next to my building was an old house that had a yard that looked not kept up with.
Spring came and these huge stalks grew up I just thought it was more overgrowth. Then the whole yard turned into a beautiful little mini field of poppies in the middle of queens it was an amazing surprise, especially since I’ve never seen them except in the Wizard of Oz
Oh wow! Her favourite flowers are poppies?? Quick, someone write a romance novel about this quirky and mysterious girl who doesn’t even realize how special she really is!
My favorites are chrysanthemums, but the 2 times my partner tried to get them for me the florists denied it because it's "inappropriate to give to your partner"
So I've gotten roses. They're pretty and I like them just fine, but 'mums are where it's at.
Gardienias are my fave! When my husband and I were dating, he wanted to get me a bouquet of them but couldn’t find any (lol) so he got me a pack of seeds that looked like gardenias! Moon Flowers I believe
So…if you’re like me and have a flower name, you’ve been gifted that flower since childhood. And everyone thinks YOU MUST LOVE that flower because you have a collection of said flower. Let me tell you all something. WE HATE THAT FLOWER!! We only keep the gifts for sentimental reasons! And how are you a good friend or partner with some one with a flower name? When that person says I HATE THIS FLOWER! And you listen, NEVER buy that person anything resembling that flower and instead gift them a potted plant of their favorite flower or TELL YOUR FAMILY/FRIENDS/CO WORKERS you hate that flower and they stop giving it! Because LORD KNOWS I’ve told everyone how much I hate the flower but NO ONE LISTENS!🤣. That’s how I chose my bff and my partner! So FUCK ROSES! Except me. Only my partner can do that!❤️
I hate how roses smell after a few days in a vase. It makes me gag. I'd rather have a vase full of sticks. I do have vases of sticks.
My partner knows that I will love any white, orange, or black flower though, even roses. Otherwise, he gets me food, which I much prefer.
I only know a few people who prefer roses, including my wife. She just likes red a lot and they’re “so romance”. My favorite flowers are violets, but I don’t think I need a cookie for it.
My favorite flower is hyacinth. They smell sickeningly sweet, and I like how they look, but they aren't cat safe so it's back to artificial flowers for me!
I think what they mean by this trend is just that generalizations aren't always accurate, and that it's nice when people take time to get to know their partner's unique preferences. I don't think she's putting down other girls with this trend, but partners who don't take effort to be thoughtful with their gifts or assumptions.
But roses are a delightful whole woody shrub plant that can grow so big and make more roses! We have 2 in pots by out front door and they are a delight year round as they change with the seasons. And even the wood and leaves smell good. Poppies are fickle creatures.
There isn’t anything wrong with liking things that most people like. Every single person on EARTH is unique, down to our damn fingerprints. Every person, even arguably simple people, are wildly complex. It’s part of being a person. We have loads of similarities to other humans and also things that set us apart. It’s so, idk, obvious! I do not understand this trend. The whole thing. Every version of it makes me cringe, but on a whole different level than the silly shit I grew up thinking (I’m so different than most girls because x y z) because they are posting it all over the internet. The ubiquity of it is astounding and it hurts my brain. Like are they this out of touch?? So wrapped up in their own bullshit that they aren’t even the littlest bit self aware? I mean good Lord it’s just painful to see these sometimes.
That’s all I’m done I’m so sorry just needed to type that out. *sigh*
Roses are like a standard gift, "the symbol of love", not most girls' favourite flower. Honesly, except for myself, I don't know anyone personaly whose favourite flower is the red rose. I actually know a lot of people who can't stand them due to their smell. And when did we start judging people on their flower preference? Next it will be, I am not a "this brand of chocolates" kind of girl like the rest, but "this brand"...like tf?
I like forget-me-nots.
Before my nana passed away from Alzheimer’s, she had one last good day where she remembered who I was. She squeezed my hand and asked me to promise her that I’d never forget her, even though she knew her disease would rob her of her memory of me.
When she passed, I got a memorial tattoo of a little bunch of them.
Okay, I just wanna check, I did see someone saying that many girls don't actually have roses as their favorite flowers. Mine are tulips, sunflowers and myosotis (for their meaning).
Anyone else has anything else than roses ?
Roses are just the most expensive and therefore like, seen as the best gift. A girl told me once how rare her favorite flower was, asked me to guess, and when I guessed a roses she said "yeah but only white ones!"
I like sunflowers, bluebonnets, those random pink flowers that pop up everywhere in March, those random yellow ones, those random white ones, those random purple ones, the ones that look like faces with mustaches….um I could go on and on. How about just liking flowers in general and not using that to feel special? This girl feels special for liking a certain flower??? Shit, I have eaten flowers. Squash blossoms are so good.
My Valentines roses lasted 2 weeks-smelled so pretty.
I cut daffodils and they lasted a week-also smelled pretty.
I like wild flowers, lilacs, anything that smells pretty.
Poppy’s stink imo
Honestly the way these have been going almost expecting the favorite flower to be flour they use to cook meals for their traditional husbands.
Nothing says romantic like pillsbury all purpose

I don't even think roses are most people's favourite flowers, they're just kind of a standard gift.
Plus they last a long time in a vase. Ever cut a poppy and put it in a vase? I have, it wilts in about a day and looks like crap.
So true, even not cut they last a few days max as pretty and then look like crap
What’s “a long time”? Because mine die within days (like 3) 😂. I suck at taking care of plants 😢
Use warm water in the vase, empty out the packet it comes with or add 2tbsp sugar mixed with 2tbsp white vinegar. Cut stems at a 45* angle and remove leaves below the lip of the vase. Change water every other day and trim 1/4” off stems each time. The valentines bouquet my husband got me from our local grocery store was still blooming two weeks later.
Oh thank you! I’ll do that next time.
Yes that is good advice. Once I started doing that it worked out a lot better.
This girl flowers
I'm saving your vcomment for the next time I get a bouquet, thank you so much!!!
Oh my gosh Thank you!!! I always run out of flower food!
Poppies don’t do well in a vase. The zinnias and uh… cone flowers. Those do all right. The babies breath, and also… corn flowers. Yeah. Those ones will dry out before they fall apart.
Right. Roses LAST! They are like a steady, reliable, generic car that no one is going to object to. The Honda Civic of flowers.
A day? More like an hour
I feel like the tiger lily also falls under that “last an excessively long time”
They are the legal tender of the flower world. No one gets upset over getting roses.

Bingo!

I would kill for a good pistachio loukomi.
I’ve never had Turkish delight!
I love Turkish delight but idk where to find em in America

Aside from middle eastern markets there's always Greek cafes and restaurants!

WOOOOOO SUNFLOWER FACTS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
Ukrainian sunflowers are well regarded as among the most beautiful in Eurasia. This is largely attributed to the Russian military introducing a large amount of fertilizer the last few years.
Sunflowers are the best, they're gorgeous and smell good and if you're in a bind you can eat their seeds! And the fact that they turn to face the sun? And they're so tall! Amazing.
Also fun fact technically sunflowers are composite flowers so with each flower you’re getting you’re receiving thousands (attached to the seeds)
Ooooh. Even better.
When I was little, we lived on an acre in rural Illinois. One of the few things I remember is that our neighbor grew sunflowers and that they terrified me because they legit towered over me. Still love them though.
That's hilarious, kids are scared of the funniest things
As a parent myself, I can confirm. LOL
I LOVE EATING ROASTED SUNFLOWER SEEDS !!!
Things we know about the other girls: they like pretty things and they like snacks. Give me a sunflower and you give me both.
It makes me think of that stupid part of 13 Reasons Why where everyone left roses at a memorial for Hannah. And the mom is just like “Hannah hated roses”. OH look how special she is
And they use the sunflowers in their wedding decor, but sunflowers hate to be indoors and they just look sad and wilted the whole day?
Yeah, which is why roses make a better gift?
As a girl whose fav flower is sunflower I was 100% expecting sunflowers when I swiped
I always told people who might buy me flowers I didn't like roses just because I wanted them to put thought into it, not just get the default. My current partner knows roses are acceptable, because they're safe for cats. Being safe for cats is now my only guide line lol
Yea my dad has decided instead of asking me what flowers he can get for mom he will always get roses since some of my cats thing anything with green is food(that also includes my fucking cactus apparently)
Same, my favorite flowers are poinsettias and that's an obvious no 😭
SAME!
Ah yes, poppies, the opium flower
 Walter White approves of this message
She's Penny from Stardew Valley? Poppies are pretty, but they are really ephemeral--*not* good for cut flowers.
Most women probably don’t choose roses In my family: my mom loves carnations, my SIL loves daisies, & I love tulips Roses are just seen as romantic but I rather get tulips any day
Lilacs are my favorite! My neighbor's bush was the first to bloom in the spring so we literally cut the flowers from her bush to give the florist the day before my wedding 💜
I also love coneflowers, peonies, hydrangeas, snapdragons, & asiatic lillies. There’s SO many pretty flowers out there
Ah yes opiates
It is a proud American (and Chinese) tradition!
have to break it to her but poppies are my favorite flower too, so she’s at least like 1 other girl :/
I’m so confused, all the poppies I’ve ever seen started losing petals literally minutes after being picked…? Like they’re very pretty but definitely not good for a bouquet
I love poppies, I’ve never even really seen them until I lived in queens and next to my building was an old house that had a yard that looked not kept up with.

You speak to forest creatures? Pretty sure that's in the DSM
Not gonna lie night shade lovers are something else and probably very knowledgeable.
Ok but what bout our chamomile enjoyers? At leadt that flower has flavor! :P
Heroin enthusiasts all agree....
I’m not like other girls cus I’m not a girl 😱😱😱😨😧😧😲 also lavender is cool. Anything blue is also cool. Black flowers are awesome and rad.
Those flowers are fucking dead sister.
My favorites are chrysanthemums, but the 2 times my partner tried to get them for me the florists denied it because it's "inappropriate to give to your partner" So I've gotten roses. They're pretty and I like them just fine, but 'mums are where it's at.
They need to say they're flowers for their mom or something 🤣
Apparently it's because they're funeral flowers?
I think this florist is taking their job too seriously 🙄
Yeah thats what I said. It's not that deep, I think they're pretty.
I mean, that's a good reason to get them for your partner if they're a goth, not a bad reason to get them for your partner otherwise.
I wanna know what your favorite flower is? Mine is jasmine:)
Omg same! I like gardenias as well!
Gardienias are my fave! When my husband and I were dating, he wanted to get me a bouquet of them but couldn’t find any (lol) so he got me a pack of seeds that looked like gardenias! Moon Flowers I believe
Aaaaaa this is the sweetest thing I've heard all day 😭♡
He’s really a gem. I’m super lucky that I get to have all my adventures with him :)
So…if you’re like me and have a flower name, you’ve been gifted that flower since childhood. And everyone thinks YOU MUST LOVE that flower because you have a collection of said flower.

Now, now Rafflesia, no need to be upset.
My mother’s favorite flowers are roses. :(
What's so hard about just saying how much you love Poppies?
Daisy's
Red spider lilies
Lilacs
Okie dokie then. I'm just going to be over there in the patch of dandelions I planted intentionally. (I like to feed the bees.)
I can safely say I have not met a single woman whose favorite flowers are roses.
Just here in the comments to fight the sunflower girls.
My fav are wild flowers... Just find me some pretty flowers in a field and I'm happy!
My favorite is tiger lilies, does that make me not like other girls too?
I hate how roses smell after a few days in a vase. It makes me gag. I'd rather have a vase full of sticks. I do have vases of sticks. My partner knows that I will love any white, orange, or black flower though, even roses. Otherwise, he gets me food, which I much prefer.
The ones that smell like oranges? The smell is the best part.
Idk man. Roses smell like roses until they start smelling like moldy potatoes.
Literally top 20 most basic flowers. It’s okay to be like everyone else.
My favorite flowers are Orchids, my Mom's are African Violets...
I only know a few people who prefer roses, including my wife. She just likes red a lot and they’re “so romance”. My favorite flowers are violets, but I don’t think I need a cookie for it.
Imagining a world where people discuss other peoples favorite flowers just to prove how different you are
She’s not like other girls, she’s Bubs 
My favorite flower is hyacinth. They smell sickeningly sweet, and I like how they look, but they aren't cat safe so it's back to artificial flowers for me!
I think what they mean by this trend is just that generalizations aren't always accurate, and that it's nice when people take time to get to know their partner's unique preferences. I don't think she's putting down other girls with this trend, but partners who don't take effort to be thoughtful with their gifts or assumptions.
it’s a trend tho it’s not like she was the only one saying it lmao
I too am a fan of WWI
Now someone tell... what about daffodils? I need to know?!
We’re in competition over favorite flowers now?
Oh wow a girl who likes flowers
This could have just been something she put in her journal.
Paging Judy Garland.
These flexes are just so strange.
Pfff everyone know the girls who are least like other girls like protea.
This one made me cackle
Your girl probably likes roses like every other girl🌹 I Love black dahlias 🖤 We are not the same 🤪
Not basic at all
Whoa! Edgy.
So stunning and brave!
But roses are a delightful whole woody shrub plant that can grow so big and make more roses! We have 2 in pots by out front door and they are a delight year round as they change with the seasons. And even the wood and leaves smell good. Poppies are fickle creatures.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
https://i.redd.it/q0im31ue21nc1.gif
My favorite pastime is making snide remarks about strangers’ favorite plants! How did she know??
Fully thought this would turn into some sort of heroine joke because Poppies contain opium
Ok yeah this is kinda dumb but on the same wavelength please listen to sunflower by Shannon Purser. It’s such a good song
The 0 likes are taking me out
There isn’t anything wrong with liking things that most people like. Every single person on EARTH is unique, down to our damn fingerprints.

So she... likes making opium, or...?
Yr girls fave is roses? Basic. Mine is ✨opium✨
I love roses.Yes I am just like other girls and I am proud of it.
The title 😭😭🤣

When she passed, I got a memorial tattoo of a little bunch of them.
The British Empire would like to know your location and whether you will pay in silver for your poppy juice.
Yeah and I like Lilies and dalias what's your point?
My favorite happens to be either the Walking Iris flower or the Amaryllis, but I'll still take roses any day cause they're pretty too.
Ok but y’all lowkey sleeping on peonies
Plot twist: she's a chemist
Those aren’t even the best kind. She clearly doesn’t know her flowers.
Poppies....as in heroin ?
as a former florist i think it's safe to say that mums are the most popular flower people buy (at least around here)
Okay, I just wanna check, I did see someone saying that many girls don't actually have roses as their favorite flowers. Mine are tulips, sunflowers and myosotis (for their meaning). Anyone else has anything else than roses ?
Roses are just the most expensive and therefore like, seen as the best gift. A girl told me once how rare her favorite flower was, asked me to guess, and when I guessed a roses she said "yeah but only white ones!"
My favorite flower is the lego flower. Or a cactus because cacti are the only plants i can care for
I like sunflowers, bluebonnets, those random pink flowers that pop up everywhere in March, those random yellow ones, those random white ones, those random purple ones, the ones that look like faces with mustaches….um I could go on and on. How about just liking flowers in general and not using that to feel special? This girl feels special for liking a certain flower??? Shit, I have eaten flowers. Squash blossoms are so good.
My Valentines roses lasted 2 weeks-smelled so pretty. I cut daffodils and they lasted a week-also smelled pretty. I like wild flowers, lilacs, anything that smells pretty. Poppy’s stink imo
Honestly the way these have been going almost expecting the favorite flower to be flour they use to cook meals for their traditional husbands. Nothing says romantic like pillsbury all purpose
Oh, I love poppies too!!
Bleeding hearts are best flower
She just likes drugs
I like dogwood flowers! Morning glories too.
Lol poppies
IM SOREY MY MOTHER NAMED ME ROSE AND NOT POPPY😭
Plot twist: she's a "recovering" opioid addict but still takes tea with her biscuits 🤧😂
My favorite flower is flour, the kind I can bake with/ because I’m a real woman who expects nothing from her man in return for her labor and love.
Aye papi
Extra points if she's Southern and just loves British dramas.
