A friend of mine has sent me a bundle of these flowers, about 20. They are cut off at the ends, about a foot of actual stem I guess, until it begins to turn into the more leafy, "flower" part at the top. They are slightly brown, but for the most part do not look as though they've begun to open up. I would like to try and save them, but have no idea where to start as far as trimming, how many to put in one pot, etc...If anyone can advise me, I would appreciate it. I'm fairly new to the flower care business. Thanks. Brian
