we wanted some color for our hotel room while staying in Toronto. The flower co. staff provided a beautiful arrangement of roses ,hydrangeas,lisianthus and lot others with difficult names but very beautiful flowers. They lasted fresh for all 4 days during our stay. Not wanting to discard the flower and nice vase the nice gentleman suggested to take it with us. Simply poured half the water, put them in upright in a plastic shopping bag, then pour out the rest of the water before security. we refilled when we came back to Dallas and everything was intact. Thank you so much.
