This is really interesting. Most people don't know that tulips drink tons of water. We recently conducted a test to demonstrate how resilient these flowers are. The picture at the top is where we got some yellow tulips and deliberately left them out of water for a day (Let me tell you that as a florist this almost killed me to do that)Then, we cut the stems about 1 inch up and added water. Just plain water--no flower food. Voila! here are the same flowers:
The point is this: Flowers, especially tulips, are very resilient. If you buy cut flowers (hopefully at Visser's) and they accidentally dry out and look all droopy, don't throw them away. Cut off the stems, put some fresh water in the vase, and cross your fingers. More often than not you will be rewarded.
