Fresh
Cut Lilies
Most lily varieties are
available year-round. They are ethylene sensitive. It is best
to cut lilies when a few of their lower buds have slightly opened and show
some color. Cut stems under water and remove lower
foliage that will fall below the water line. Use "Quick
Dip" or other ethylene block treatment. Transfer the flowers to
a container with flower food solution.
