The expected life of flowers can vary widely based on the type of flower and how they are cared for. Flowers such as Daisies, Carnations and Alstroemeria have a longer shelf life than more sensitive flowers such as Iris and Roses. We offer a 48 hour guarantee on our flowers. If you notice any flowers that are starting to wilt within the first 48 hours or the arrangement doesn't seem as fresh as it should be please let us know immediately.

Paphs purchased at orchid shows, or at commercial greenhouses, and then brought into the home should hold their flowers for at least a week, perhaps even for several weeks. If the flowers on the plant were already starting to fade, turn slightly transparent, or lose substance at the time the plant was purchased, the flowers will not last long. This can be most noticeable in the pouch, which will appear slightly wrinkled and perhaps shrunken. See similar questions...
