It's tulip season, so here's a trick from Martha Stewart's book, "Arranging Flowers." To keep tulip stems from flopping, after you trim the ends of the stems and place the tulips in water, push a sewing pin side-to-side through the stem, just below the flower head, and then pull it out. The hole allows air to escape from the top of the stem so water can flow up and keep the stem turgid. I've been using this easy trick for years—it works!
